According to the Cambridge University Press; 2020:17-34. "Growth mindset is defined as the belief that with hard work and effort persons can improve intelligence, talent, and ability.)"

This means that individuals with a growth mindset:

Are open minded

Are not scared to change

Are innovated

Go out of their comfort zone

Like new difficulties

A good example of a person with a growth-mindset it's my grandma. She is very strong minded and she isn't scared of new problems or situations. Instead of focusing on the problem, she looks for a solution.

She always has new ideas, for examples she usually experiments new recipes but they get burned in the oven, but she learns from her errors and now she watches recipes on Youtube.

Everyday she goes out of her comfort zone.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary (GLOBAL English-Spanish Learner's Dictionary © 2020), stereotype is "a set idea that people have about what someone or something is like, especially an idea that is wrong

Stereotyping affects people, because you bealive bad things of a certain group that probably aren't even true."

For example:

Racial/Cultural/Gender/Sexuality/Politic stereotypes

Ex: It's not fair to stereotype a whole group of people based on one person you don't like.

Specific example:

Many years ago, I was with my dad and he saw a gothic guy wearing a lot of chains and dressed all black, then he said, "He crearly looks like an homosexual, he looks like a dog with that chains" he said this out loud, obviously with bad intentions.

So, people who dress with black clothes and wears julery are homosexual? Not neccesary

So, people who are part of the LGBTQ+ doesn't deserve respect? No, they deserve the same respect as every human being.

Bias: The definition of bias according the Cambridge University (© Cambridge University Press & Assessment 2025) bias is "The action of supporting or opposing a particular person or thing in an unfair way, because of allowing personal opinions to influence your judgment"

Basically, is judging before even knowing what is going on.

A famous example that I have listened more than once in my life is the one that says that woman doesn't know how to drive. Even I have listened this from female friends and family. But clearly this is fake, people say this because they bealive that woman can't control their emotions, they are sensitive and because since we are children boys play with cars and girls plays with dolls. And most important fact, gender has nothing to do with the way you drive.

1. Embrace challenges, try to see obstacles as opportunities to learn rather than problems. If something feels too difficult, remind yourself that effort leads to improvement.

2. Instead of saying "I can't do this", say "I can't do this yet." Your abilities can grow over time.

3. Look back at how far you've come, progress is progress, no matter how little.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If you notice you're making a quick judgement about someone, pause and ask yourself where that assumption comes from and wether you're being fair.

2. Expose yourself to different people, stories, and cultures. It will help break down rigid and oversimplified views.

3. Instead of relying on stereotypes, get to know people, ask questions about their experiences, life, and indentities.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Take your time to think about your decisions, ask yourself if bias could be influencing you unconsciously.

2. You often rely on bias when you're in a rush, slow down for a moment and consider facts and context before acting.

3. Consider diverse inputs, listen to different backgrounds and voices, and you'll be able to reduce one-sided thinking.

Having a growth-mindset could be the solution to overcome stereotypes and biases. This is because:

Learning about bias, growth mindset, and stereotypes helped us understand how our way of thinking makes us see others and ourselves. While bias and stereotypes can lead to unfair assumptions, the growth mindset encourages us to believe that people can learn and change over time.

This made us reflect on the importance of staying open-minded and avoiding unfair judgment. Also, as future teachers, we need to recognize our own biases and support a classroom environment where every student has the opportunity to grow, feel respected, and reach their potential.
