Question

Imagine you are a teacher tasked with encouraging a group of students with “fixed mind-sets.” The students who give up regularly and appear highly unmotivated believe that they can never outperform their peers. Using examples from the text, explain Dweck’s research and how adopting a “growth mind-set” may support them in achieving greater academic success.

Respond thoroughly using an integrated quote from the text for support. Provide analysis after the integrated quote. Respond to one peer with specific feedback. Do not use "good job" or "great quote" in your response. This is not specific and could be feedback for any student. Please be respectful and use a formal tone.

Answer 1

They should believe

Step-by-step explanation:

A fixed mindset means you believe intelligence, talent, and other qualities are innate and unchangeable. If you’re not good at something, you typically think you will never be good at it. By contrast, a growth mindset means you believe intelligence and talent can be developed with practice and effort. Not surprisingly, your mindset plays a major role in your motivation, resilience, and achievement.
