"Growth vs. "Fixed" Minds"

In the video " Growth vs. Fixed Minds" Ms. Carol Dweck talks about how students are in a fixed mind set. The students wonder if they are smart or is people would see them as something.

In this study students was done on a workshop where some students were given study skills and growth mind skills. And another set of students were given only study skills. The group of students who only had study skills, grades kept declining and was not improving. The other set that was taught that your mind is a muscle and it needs to be used in order to retain information, at the end of the semester the grades of this group that had the workshop for mind skills grades improved tremendously.

At the end of the workshop the teachers could pick out which students had the mind skills workshop and which students didn't. As a teacher it is important to see improvement and what helps a student to improve. This video taught me that there is more ways than one for a student grades to improve and there is always something you can do to help the students, like the mind skills workshop.
