"The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life. It can
determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you accomplish the
things you value."
2. We summarized that those who over react to small inconvenience or mistakes don't allow themselves to grow.
3. We agree that if we continue living with the fixed mindset that we have built, we will never truly grow. We will not be able to see the place we can go and what we can do.]]> 2020-08-28 18:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/2flio8idzdtfe9gz/wish/705835689 Group #8: Sioban Downing, Hailey Shaw, and Bella Oshana https://padlet.com/edevereaux/2flio8idzdtfe9gz/wish/705856965 1. “This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts.” “In this mindset, the hand you’re dealt is just the starting point for development.” “You don’t have to have one mindset or the other to be upset.”
2. A fixed mindset is when you are set on a specific view or outlook, whereas a growth mindset is when you look at how you can grow and learn from mistakes or errors. There is always room for improvement and growth, there is no one right answer.
3. We completely agree with this statement as it pertains to a growth mindset and what a growth mindset is. It teaches us to always look to expand beyond what we know. It teaches us to always try to improve and learn from mistakes. ]]> 2020-08-28 18:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/2flio8idzdtfe9gz/wish/705856965 Group 2 Isabella Najor, Shyla Ciampa, Zara Schmidt, and Emily Engler https://padlet.com/edevereaux/2flio8idzdtfe9gz/wish/705857334
  •  "We agree with a growth mindset resulting in open mindedness and bettering your success rate. When fixed minded, there is no possible way to experience what there is to offer, because the person is afraid to push themselves out of their comfort zone. A growth mindset allows comfort and acceptance to failure and learning from your mistakes. “In fact, no. Binet, a Frenchman working in Paris in the early twentieth century, designed this test [IQ test] to identify children who were not profiting from the Paris public schools, so that new educational programs could be designed to get them back on track. Without denying individual differences in children’s intellects, he believed that education and practice could bring about fundamental changes in intelligence.genes require input from the environment to work properly.”
    1. “What are the consequences of thinking that your intelligence or personality is something that you can develop, as opposed to something that is a fixed deep seated trait?”
    • 2.  Dweck states that there are two mindsets, which are the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. She argues that the growth mindset is more effective because it embraces challenges and is open to learning, while the fixed mindset focuses harshly on perfection and failure. 
    3. 3. We agree with a growth mindset resulting in open mindedness and bettering your success rate. When fixed minded, there is no possible way to experience what there is to offer, because the person is afraid to push themselves out of their comfort zone. A growth mindset allows comfort and acceptance to failure and learning from your mistakes.

  • Believing that your qualities are carved in stone—the fixed mindset—creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. 
  • In summary, a growth mindset is a mindset that focuses more on the process, rather than the end goal.  The end goal in a growth mindset is to grow and learn through the mistakes made rather than to just focus on a perfect achievement.  We are conditioned by society to obtain a fixed mindset as we’d like to portray ourselves as perfect people or to feel validated, but this can leave us feeling empty.
  • This article made me feel like it is okay to make mistakes to fail because that is what will help me grow and if I used a growth mindset, it will help me to have confidence that I can always improve

    “People have more capacity for lifelong learning and brain development than they ever thought.”
    2. Throughout life, people can develop and grow by having a growth mindset.
    3. We agree with the point Dweck is making that a growth mindset can encourage development.  It’s very reassuring to know that you can always improve different situations, and overcome challenges if you have the right attitude about it.

And that’s what they were doing - getting smarter.”
    2. Your traits are not fixed in one place, you have to work to be good at anything, but you can work toward anything you put your mind to. 
    3. It makes us feel hopeful - we can do anything we put our minds to(except things that break the laws of the universe, like dividing by zero)! We can change the world to be what we want it to be.]]>     2020-08-28 18:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/2flio8idzdtfe9gz/wish/705863792     Group #7:Brianna Fox, Vanessa Estrada, Malia Lewton, Regina Quiroga Aceves https://padlet.com/edevereaux/2flio8idzdtfe9gz/wish/705867508 1. “I always thought you coped with failure or didn’t cope with failure, I never thought anyone loved failure… They knew that human qualities, such as intellectual skills, could be cultivated through effort. And that’s what they were doing—getting smarter. Not only weren’t they discouraged by failure, they didn’t even think they were failing. They thought they were learning” (Dweck).
    2. In her article, Carol Dweck argues that a growth mindset can be beneficial because it motivates people to push their limits and persevere in the face of challenges. She also mentions that although everyone has a specific genetic endowment, someone’s capabilities could also be improved through practice.
    3. We agree with her completely, as we can never know our full potential, but we can strive to be the best version of ourselves by working hard and not giving up. We also feel that Dweck’s passage perfectly depicts how a person’s mindset can determine their short and long term outcomes. We agree that having a mindset not only has a positive impact on our well being but also in our accomplishments.

    “You were smart or you weren’t and failure meant you weren’t."

    “The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life.”

    2. Teaching people how to have a growth mindset will drastically change how they approach challenges and how much they enjoy the process of learning.

    3. We feel that it is extremely important to show that although one can make mistakes, it is how we learn from them that matters. With this mindset, we can continue to improve throughout our life, growing at each and every opportunity presented to us. We are not only slaves of praise, but slaves of perfection We are excepted to do everything perfect, which is not how it should be. Our mistakes, our efforts, and our challenges allows people to want to continue learning.
