    Fixed And Growth Mindset

    In GPS 1010, I have learned that a person’s mindset is established in (1) a particular way of thinking; or (2) a person’s attitude and set of opinions about something. In addition to these items, one can either have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset. These mindsets play a huge role in one’s success or failure. The mindset has “two meanings to ability, not one: a fixed ability that needs to be proven and a changeable ability that can be developed through learning” and repetition. To sum up, “the fixed mindset makes you concerned with how you’ll be judged; the growth mindset makes you concerned with improving.”…

    Brainology By Carol Dweck Summary

    “ Intelligence is a potential that can be realized through learning. As a result, confronting challenges, profiting from mistakes, and persevering in the face of setbacks become ways of getting smarter”. She starts off by telling the readers the definitions of these two mindsets and then proceeds to explain how students with these two mindsets are being affected in a negative way because of the way they see the amount of intelligence they might have instead of looking at it as something that they can improve. By doing this, the readers are being convinced that having a fixed mindset will lead them to fail at school, sports or any task they are assigned to do because they think they are either smart at something or dumb at it. In effect, they understand they will stop trying at a certain point.…
