Teaching Adolescents to Become Learners […] talks about four different mindsets: Belonging, Growth Mindset, Self-efficacy, and Relevance/Purpose. Out of the four mindsets, I relate most to the growth mindset. I believe my ability and competence grow with my effort. I look at most aspects of life this way. Right now, school plays a big part in my life. I feel as though the growth mindset helps me a lot with my classes. I’ve learned that if I put the time and effort into my classes, I can be more successful. I can learn more and get better grades at the same time. It motivates me knowing that effort goes a long way. For example, with this class, I sometimes get overwhelmed with the amount of work we are given. However, I tell myself to set aside the time to do the work, and it always gets done. It may not be perfect, but it’s done by the deadline and follows the requirements given. I always feel accomplished after I finish the assignments. I feel like I’ve learned something new after every assignment is completed. When I finish a blog, I have more motivation towards any upcoming assignments. Afterwards, I am always grateful for the experience and satisfied with my work. Also, I learn new ways to be more productive like setting aside more time than the week before to complete my assignments. My growth mindset also comes into play with my other classes. For my math class, I try to do all of the work ahead of time. I’ll find a good time, sit down, and do a week or so worth of upcoming homework. This shows that one’s ability and competence can grow with effort. I can teach myself to do problems we haven’t even learned about yet. I do the same with my network communications class. I do the labs ahead of time, before we have gone over them in class. This way, I have more knowledge when we talk about things together as a group. I’ve found this very effective so far. These are just a few ways of why having a growth mindset is the most beneficial to me, personally, as a student.
