Growth mindset refers to the underlying belief that intelligence can be trained and that the most basic abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication. The opposite would refer to a fixed mindset where people believe that basic qualities like intelligence and talent are fixed traits.
Dr Carol Dweck created this concept and it has now been researched thoroughly and applied in a number of case studies within educational environments. Embedding a growth mindset culture has been shown to improve academic results and achievement. Whilst also having a positive effect on the individual’s attitude towards learning, they are more interested in the learning process rather than being right or wrong. This also results in increased intrinsic motivation to learn and make progress.
The most important thing research has found is that the growth mindset can be taught!
