Prior to reading the articles and watching the videos, I had
never been introduced to growth mindset.
I had heard of the teaching method were student were rewarded no
matter how much effort was put in. I was
highly critical of that method and when I started reading about the growth
mindset, I thought it was the same thing.
However, after reading more about I saw the merits of the system and how it
could improve learning. It made me feel
like that I had wasted a lot of my life because I was not pushed in
school. In college I believe I have unknowingly applied growth mindset in my life. I have had failures but I have rebounded from those and have learned from the mistakes. This semester I hope to further apply the growth mindset into my life.

ReplyDeleteI am going to agree with you on the lack of teaching from high school but I would disagree that the entirety of high school was like this I feel that several of our teachers provided this atmosphere. My examples for this are Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs. Pool. I love your picture but I have seen it on other student’s blogs. (had to make it 60)
ReplyDeleteI chose this meme too! I feel the same way about school growing up. I don’t remember really trying to hard in a lot of classes, not because I was a bad student, but a lot of teachers seemed to just be satisfied as long as the assignment was turned in. I think growth mindset is great in showing that failure is final, it’s a learning opportunity to do better next time.
ReplyDeleteThis meme made me laugh. I liked doing the growth mindset activities and browsing through memes. I can relate to some of what you said about high school. I definitely feel like I didn't have to try very hard in high school, and was comfortable just coasting through my four years, but that has not been the case for me here at OU.
