Some new
research from Stanford is helping to build the case that nurturing a “growth
mindset” can help many kids understand their true potential. Carol Dweck, an acclaimed psychologist, believes that teachers have to encourage students to believe that their brains are malleable.
The key to a student's ability to become a self-regulated (i.e., metacognitive) learner is understanding that one's ability to learn is a skill that develops over time rather than a fixed trait, inherited at birth.
She also believes that students should be praised for their hard work and persistence, rather than their intelligence. For more information click on the image above and the excellent articles below.
