As you probably know, Growth mindset is the way in which people can think about intelligence in which it is something that can be grown, rather than a fixed mindset. Research shows that people with a growth mindset have a higher desire for learning, are more resilient, more intrinsically motivated and achieve higher. Examples of this are seen when students:
- embrace challenges
- perform better over time
- participate more
- ask more questions
- seek out challenges
- study more
- put in extra effort required to succeed
- value learning the right way over the easy way
- spend more time on difficult activities
- try new strategies
- seek help from other students or the teacher
