Inspiration For a Growth Mindset Among Students in Malaysia

MINDSETS: FIXED VS. GROWTH

Carol Dweck and her team studied students’ attitudes about failure over 30 years ago. Their research showed that pupils have either a fixed or development attitude when it comes to achievement.

A fixed mindset is the belief that talent or intelligence will not change no matter how hard you study or progress. They avoid taking risks and opportunities because they fear failure.

A growth mindset thinks that skills can be improved and talent can expand through hard effort, practise, and dedication! They think results come from work and see setbacks as opportunities to progress.

This frame of mind can make a significant difference in your child’s schooling!

SCHOOL & GROWTH MINDS

The difference is that pupils with a growth attitude stay continuing even when the work is hard and persistent.

Other advantages:

A lifelong curiosity

Career advancement

Outside the classroom self-development
