This week we were asked to read several different texts and watch videos regarding mindset. One video in particular stood out to me it was called How a growth mindset leads to higher achievement. In the video it discussed an experiment in which scientists asked the participants a question. The participants who had a growth mindset listened when they were told if they were wrong to what the correct answer was. Participants who had a close mindset shut their brains off after hearing that they were wrong. The out come showed that people with a a growth mindset lead to higher achievement.
Having a growth mindset is more along the lines of being open to suggestions, criticism, and willing to change and grow mentally. It's about being able to take others suggstions and not be offended and want to use those suggestions to improve your work. People who have a fixed mindset tend to be more stubborn and set in their ways.They take criticism to heart and are so set in their ways they tune others out. In academic environment and non academic I feel as though I have a growth mindset. I am constantly open to suggestion and criticism from teachers as well as my coworkers. I think it helps us grow academically if you keep failing in your same ways and do not listen to others advice your only going to keep failing. I will continue to sustain my growth mindset especially in this course were we will have suggestions made by or teachers on how to improve our work.
