Characteristics of Good Student
A Good
Student Has a Growth Mind-set
A
growth mindset is a deeply held belief that a person can learn anything given
enough time and effort. Carol Dweck is a Professor of Psychology at Stanford
University. She is the world’s most recognised student of the mindset trait.
In her
now-famous Ted talk,
Dweck spoke about growth mindset in terms of, ‘The power of yet’.
When
your child says, “I can’t do this”, then you need to add, “Yet. I can’t do this
yet”. Dweck’s research shows that even explaining this concept to a child will
affect the way they view their learning. She points to evidence that says, an
understanding of growth mindset changes neural pathways that allow for greater
growth in learning.
