He reflects on his destructive behaviour and makes positive changes. This knowledge gave children the confidence to learn and positively affected their achievement, engagement and happiness. The Busy Beaver by Nicholas Oldland A busy beaver only realises the damage his mindless chomping does when he gets hit by one of his falling trees. However, these results changed when children with a fixed mindset understood that brains are a muscle that builds new connections through effort and practice. The reverse was true of those with a fixed mindset. Students who believed their intelligence could be developed (a growth mindset) outperformed those who believed their intelligence was fixed (a fixed mindset).” Carol Dweckĭweck’s research found students with a growth mindset improved their academic results. “We found that students’ mindsets-how they perceive their abilities-played a key role in their motivation and achievement, and we found that if we changed students’ mindsets, we could boost their achievement. Though in reality, we all have a mix of both mindsets. Our approach to learning determines a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset. Children with a fixed mindset believe intelligence is fixed from birth, and nothing they do will change it.Ĭarol Dweck’s research found that intelligence is malleable. A growth mindset helps students achieve their educational goals and work through difficult tasks.
