10. DWECK'S DEFINITION OF FIXED
GROSS-LOHAND GROWTH MINDSETS
Individuals who believe their talents can be developed
(through hard work, good strategies, and input from others)
have a growth mindset. They tend to achieve more than those
with a more fixed mindset (those who believe their talents are
innate gifts). This is because they worry less about looking
smart and they put more energy into learning.

12. DWECK'S DEFINITION OF FIXED AND GROWTH
MINDSETS
Dweck's definition of fixed and growth mindsets from a 2012 interview:
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.

19. WHAT TO PRAISE & HOW TO PRAISE FOR
DEVELOPING RIGHT GROWTH MINDSET ?
Helping students to develop a growth mindset, we can help them to learning more effective
and efficient.
Carol Dweck precisely says, “a lot of parents or teachers say
praise the effort, not the outcome. I say [that’s] wrong: Praise
the effort that led to the outcome or learning progress; tie the
praise to it. It’s not just effort, but strategy … so support the
student in finding another strategy. Effective teachers who
actually have classrooms full of children with a growth
mindset are always supporting children’s learning strategies
and showing how strategies created that success.

20. WHAT TO PRAISE & HOW TO PRAISE FOR
DEVELOPING RIGHT GROWTH MINDSET ?
Helping students to develop a growth mindset, we can help them to learning more effective
and efficient.
Carol Dweck suggests that if the parent reacts to a child’s
failure as though it’s something that enhances learning,
asking, “Okay, what is this teaching us? Where should we
go next? Should we talk to the teacher about how we can
learn this better?” that child comes to understand that
abilities can be developed.

21. WHAT TO PRAISE & HOW TO PRAISE FOR
DEVELOPING RIGHT GROWTH MINDSET ?
Students need to know that if they’re stuck, they don’t need
just effort. You don’t want them redoubling their efforts with
the same ineffective strategies. You want them to know when
to ask for help and when to use resources that are available.
So, with praise, focus on “process praise”—focus on the
learning process and show how hard work, good strategies,
and good use of resources lead to better learning. Be matter-
of-fact, with not too strong or too passive a reaction.
(Adopted form -An excerpt from an interview with Carol S Dweck with Gross-Loh)

22. DWECK
WRITES-
The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it,
even (or especially) when it’s not going well, is the
hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset
that allows people to thrive during some of the most
challenging times in their lives.”
