Definition - A growth mindset is when someone believes that they have the ability to become better at something if they work towards it. An example of a growth mindset would be "practice makes perfect" or "if I work hard on understanding this topic, I will become better at it". A fixed mindset is the complete opposite. This is when someone does not think that they have the ability to get better at something. Or they are good at something and they believe that it came naturally to them. An example of a fixed mindset would be "I have always been bad at math so there is no point in trying" or "I am good at soccer because I was born with the ability to be good".

Explanation - Understanding growth and fixed mindset has so many benefits when it comes to being in a classroom. When a student has a growth mindset, you will see them putting in lots of effort to become better at something. This is important to be able to see so that we are able to provide challenges for this student for them to see improvement that they are getting better. With a fixed mindset you will see a student dreading a specific subject. You will also notice that they are not getting any better in a subject or that they are not putting much effort into it because they do not think that they have the ability to get better at it. We need to know how to see this and how to work with these students so that they can understand that putting in effort to something will make you better at it.

Association - (AI Definition)

A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication, effort, and learning from experiences. Individuals with a growth mindset embrace challenges, view failures as opportunities for growth, and persist in the face of setbacks.

In contrast, a fixed mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence are static traits that cannot change. Those with a fixed mindset may avoid challenges, give up easily, and feel threatened by the success of others, leading to a limited approach to learning and personal development.

Understanding these concepts highlights how our beliefs about our capabilities can influence our motivation, resilience, and overall success. (ChatGPT)
