This theory was created by " Carol Dweck". She talks about how having a "Growth Mind set" can grow our minds capacity to learn and solve problems. A “growth mindset,” thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as a heartening springboard for growth and for stretching our existing abilities.
Below I have have included a visual image about the two mind sets Fixed and Growth mindset.
I am looking forward to find out which mind set the children have in my classroom and guiding them and supporting them to have Growth mind sets so that they able to succeed in their learning.
I have also included Carol Dweck's Video on " The power to believing that you can improve" which I found very interesting.
The video talks about how fixed mind set people run from the challenges/errors and failures where as "Growth Mindset"people embrace the challenges and struggles to grow as a person as well as in their learning. They are more engaged in their learning. They learn from their mistakes/failures and they correct it.
Carol talks about how as Educators we should praise children on the process praise such as prising the child on their strategies, efforts and progress in their learning. With this process of praise children then to gain more confidence in their learning and their self esteems.
