Understanding Dweck's Mindset Theory of Learning
Explore Dweck's mindset theory of learning which distinguishes between fixed and growth mindsets. Fixed mindsets believe abilities are innate, while growth mindsets believe in improvement through effort. Embrace the power of believing in personal development and learning goals. Evaluate correlations, types of psychological data, and limitations in using correlational data. Follow student expectations for successful online learning.

Inappropriate behaviour will result in a phone call or a home visit during the lesson and you will be removed from the lesson by the teacher. Send your work to your teacher at the end of each session (samantha.lynch@astreadearne.org) 4. 5. 6.

TITLE: Dwecks mindset theory of learning Monday, 22 July 2024 Last year Evaluate correlations. What is a strength/weakness of using correlational data? What are the 3 types of correlations that can be found in psychological data? + They are a good starting point for research. If two variables are related this gives researchers ideas for future investigations. + They can be used to investigate more complex relationships. - They do not tell us whether one co-variable causes the other. This means it is not possible to show cause and effect. Limits its usefulness. - Extraneous variables may affect your co-variables. Means that you may draw the wrong conclusions. LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
The power of believing that you can improve LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
Dwecks theory key points Dweck s theory the difference between people who are successful and not successful is their mindset. 1 Fixed mindset people believe that their abilities are fixed in their genes. They think that putting in extra effort won t help if someone is failing because success is talent-based. They are focused on performance goals and feel good when performing well. 2 LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
Dwecks theory key points Growth mindset think that you can always improve yourself with effort. They enjoy a challenge and don t focus on success. They focus on learning goals and feel good when working hard. Dealing with failure Fixed mindset: failure is due to lack of talent so not point trying harder. Growth mindset: failure is an opportunity to learn more and put in more effort. A continuum People are not just one or the other, but a mixture, on a continuum from fixed to growth. Where you are on the continuum depends on the situation. 3 4 5 LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
Dwecks theory Evaluation 1 Research support One strength is evidence that a growth mindset leads to better grades. Dweck found that seventh graders taught a growth mindset had better grades and motivation than a group who were just taught about memory. This suggests that the approach can improve performance. It has relevant application to real life. LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
Dwecks theory Evaluation 2 Both mindsets involve praise One weakness is just any sort of praise may be bad. Praising effort still leads people to do things for approval rather than doing it for themselves. Growth mindset can therefore discourage the type of independent behaviour it is trying to promote. LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
Dwecks theory Evaluation 3 Real world application Another strength is good real-world application. Mindset is used to improve performance in schools, businesses, sports, and relationships. Teaching people to see failure as a lack of effort rather than a lack of talent motivates future effort. LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
Work out which statements in the first column go with the statements in the second column. Evaluation match-up 1 A. Unfortunately this can have the opposite effect of discouraging the behaviour the theory is trying to promote. 1. Dweck s theory encourages us to praise effort but his can backfire. B. These children achieved more than children who were just taught how to improve their memories. 2. Dweck s theory has applications to the real world. C. Taking this approach can help motivate people to make greater efforts in the future. 3. There is some research evidence that supports Dweck s theory. D. The concept of mindsets has been used in schools and organisations to improve performance. 4. It is better to teach people to view failure as a lack of effort not a lack of talent. E. Doing this means that people are still working for the approval of others. 5. A growth mindset is supposed to develop independent behaviour. F. Studies show that a growth mindset can lead to better grades. 6. Dweck carried out a study to develop a growth mindset in seventh-graders.

Q1. A strength of Dwecks mindset theory is that it: a. Doesn t place too much emphasis on effort b. Explains why natural ability leads to success c. Identifies differences between people who do and do not succeed d. Explains why praise is always a good thing. LO: To outline and evaluate Dweck s mindset theory of learning.
