Growth Mindset


I think these videos are very informative. It was interesting to see the actual images of a fixed and growth brain. What she was saying is easy to witness especially in the college community. Within my friends I hear them say how much they stress over getting an A in class.  It is important to move from an educational system that acknowledges more correct answers to a system that award for effort. In my opinion our educational system is the reason many students are in the fixed mind set. For example, in every career, students have to compete for a spot. It would not be a bad idea if we could get judged by effort rather than measuring our intelligence with a letter. It is hard to stay calm when an extra A on our transcript can be the determining factor in the decision if we get into a certain program.  I would love to have a growth mindset but sometimes it is just not possible when everything at this point is a competition. I would like to learn more about how to change my way of viewing my mistakes and my education.
