Fixed Mindset-Carol Dweck
 A fixed mindset is when people believe their basic
qualities, their intelligence, their talents, their abilities,
are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount, and
that’s that.
 A fixed mindset is when people are fearful of
venturing out of their comfort zone, they don’t take
the risks or develop the abilities they’re capable of.

Mindset- Carol Dweck
 Carol Dweck states, “What are the consequences of
thinking that your intelligence or personality is
something you can develop, as opposed to something
that is a fixed, deep-seated trait?”
3

Mindset-Carol Dweck
 “In a fixed mindset students believe their basic
abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed
traits. They have a certain amount and that's that,
and then their goal becomes to look smart all the time
and never look dumb. In a growth mindset students
understand that their talents and abilities can be
developed through effort, good teaching and
persistence. They don't necessarily think everyone's
the same or anyone can be Einstein, but they believe
everyone can get smarter if they work at it” ("Stanford University's
Carol Dweck on the Growth Mindset and Education". OneDublin.org. June 19, 2012. Retrieved November 26, 2019.)

 A fixed mindset- “worrying about a challenge,
feeling measured by a setback, worrying about the
outcome rather than the process”
 A fixed mindset- “avoid challenging situations that
might lead to failure”
5

 A fixed mindset- “your qualities are carved in stone.”
Whatever skills, talents, and capabilities you have are
predetermined and finite. Whatever you lack, you will
continue to lack. This fixed mindset applies not just to
your own qualities, but to the qualities of others.
 Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Stanford Professor Carol Dweck-2006

Growth Mindset-Carol Dweck
 People who believes in Growth Mindset, CAROL
DWECK States, “they believe that even basic talents
and abilities can be developed over time through
experience, mentorship, and so on. And these are the
people who go for it. They’re not always worried
about how smart they are, how they’ll look, what a
mistake will mean. They challenge themselves and
grow.”
7

 Growth mindset- “the people who maybe didn’t have
an image to uphold, didn’t feel the weight of other
people’s expectations, and just followed their
passions and developed their abilities.”
 Growth mindset- “challenges are exciting rather than
threatening”
8

 Growth mindset- “think about all of the growth
potential in following this opportunity, even if it’s out
of your comfort zone.”
 Growth mindset- “you’re focused on the process, the
process that you engage in to bring about your
successes, and the processes you engaged in that
may have created your failures, but you can learn
from them and do better the next time”.
9

 Growth mindset- “value passion, dedication, growth,
and learning, not genius”
 Growth mindset- “the belief that talent should be
developed in everyone, not viewed as a fixed, innate
gift that some have and others don’t”
10

 Growth mindset- “In a growth mindset, “your basic
qualities are things you can cultivate through your
efforts…everyone can change and grow through
application and experience.” Qualities like
intelligence are a starting point, but success comes as
a result of effort, learning, and persistence”
 Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Stanford Professor Carol Dweck
11

 Growth mindset- “focus on learning and development
rather than failure and actively pursue the types of
challenges that will likely lead to both learning and
failure” (hbr.org)
12

 Growth mindset- This mindset is where a person’s
self-belief is centred around the notion that, “…their
most basic abilities can be developed through dedication
and hard work. Brains and talent are just the starting
point.” (Dweck, 2006)
13

Mindset
 What happens when we stuck somewhere or fails in a task?
What is reaction of people of fixed mindset and growth mindset?
 If you react to a setback defensively, wanting to hide
it, wanting to make up excuses for it, you’re in a
fixed mindset. And instead, ask what can I learn from
this experience that can help me go forward next
time? In the fixed mindset, you’re so focused on the
outcome. Will I look good? Will I live up to my
reputation? Will people think I’m brilliant?
14

 We need to be comfortable with struggle, not just
effort, but struggle, confusion. (Carol Dweck-Growth
Mindset)
15

Fixed Mindset
 Students with a fixed mindset believe that their
intellectual ability is a limited entity, and they tend to
worry about proving it rather than improving it.9 They
are often full of concerns about their ability, and this can
lead, in the face of challenges and setbacks, to
destructive thoughts (e.g., “I failed because I’m
dumb”), feelings (such as humiliation), and behavior
(giving up).

Growth Mindset
 Students with a growth mindset will often perceive
the identical challenge or setback in an entirely
different light—as an opportunity to learn. As a
result, they respond with constructive thoughts (e.g.,
“Maybe I need to change my strategy or try harder”),
feelings (such as the excitement of a challenge), and
behavior (persistence).

Mindset-Ways to Develop a Growth Mindset- By Saga Briggs
1. Acknowledge and embrace imperfections.
 Hiding from your weaknesses means you’ll never
overcome them.
2. View challenges as opportunities.
 Having a growth mindset means relishing opportunities
for self-improvement.
(By Saga Briggs)

18

3. Value the process over the end result.
Intelligent people enjoy the learning process, and don’t
mind when it continues beyond an expected time frame
4. Reward actions, not traits.
Tell others when they’re doing something smart, not just
being smart.
5. Place effort before talent.
 Hard work should always be rewarded before inherent
skill.
