Article - Growth Mindset

[2 Feb 2018]

Students’ beliefs or mindsets about learning and their own abilities or intelligence can affect their academic achievement.

The concept of Growth Mindset was developed by Carol Dweck who is a renowned psychologist. The Growth Mindset emphasises that we can develop our abilities, intelligence and talent through dedication and effort.

Carol Dweck’s work has found that we can intentionally teach students to have a growth mindset! I found this online article about Growth Mindset which you may be interested in:
