Growth Mindsets for STEM Careers

Growth Mindsets for STEM Careers

Why is a growth mindset so important for learners? Students with a growth mindset are more likely to try new things, even things that seem impossible to them. They’re less likely to say, "I'm just not good at this," or "this task is not for someone like me." In this video, Adriane Davis shows us how she helps her middle school students develop growth mindsets as they engage in engineering design challenges, so that they are more open to the possibility of STEM careers.

Students with a growth mindset as the student will motivate themselves and work for their own success. The first video I watched was about personalized learning plans, this would help cement a growth mindset in students as they make up their own learning with guidelines on what they want to learn about. The second video I watched was Encouraging Students to Persist Through Challenges. This would help encourage a growth mindset because the students are explaining their thinking and asking questions to other students. The third video I watched was Growth Mindsets for STEM Careers. This video was about breaking the mold and showing that anyone can be anything they want if they put the work in. Just because they don't fit the "mold," that can't stop them from being in a certain career field.

The lack of growth mindsets in your classroom can be so detramental to not only the class culture, but to the indivuals within, and their own futures in learning. The first video shows the struggle and how they emphasize the process of a difficult problem. Working through complex problems can be frustrating without help, but they explain this tactic is helpful in triggering problem solving and maximizing the amount of effort put in. The second video is a great example for another component of growth mindset. The teacher delivers praise to the students about their work after completion and follows up with another challenge. This pair of actions proved to motivate these students even when faced with harder assignments. Lastly, the final video presents one of the most important messages. She makes it clear that set backs are natural and eventually push you further towards success, its when you give up that you truly failed. Messages like this contribute to the success of students in academics and in life.

Growth mindset is very important in devolpment becaue is helps kids understand the importance of their time, value, and effort they put in. In the video Growth mindest and deeper learning, we see students working to get through their challenges. This is important to see them not giving up and as well as working to achieve a goal and have some pride in themselves. In the 2nd video we see students using their growth mindset to help better develop their intelligence and as well as enjoying the process and more than people with a fixed mindset. In the 3rd video the students see that mistake is not a failure, but a part of life. The teacher helps the students push forward and to make mistakes because thats how we learn and how they can overall suceed in life.

Growth Mindset is very important for the success of students. Students learn in the first video that it is alright to struggle and put time in, than rather put little to no time in and hope for the best. By having students struggle through the lesson, it allows them to have a deeper understanding for the lesson they are learning because they are putting more attention towards the lesson. In the second video, it shows the teacher actively caring for the students by praising them, giving them words of encouragement, and taking home their projects and commenting on them. In the third video we see how the teachers pushes their students. The teacher gives them the activity of building a tower and placing a brick on top. Throughout this lesson she made sure her students knew that it was okay to fail, but she always pushed them to try again and try to succeed.

Growth Mindset is important because it helps students succeed. That working is how you succeed, being challeged. In the frist video the teacher is pushing the students to think harder/ work harder. When struggling they will be able to learn. In the second video, the teacher praises her students. she makes sure she take home there work and come back with things they did good, then towords the end of there one-on-one descisions she throws out other things they should try to. changelling them will help them succeed even if they fail, they will learn. In the third video, the teachers teaches the students to not judge a book by its cover. Teaching them that anyone can be anything. Also teaching them that just because you failed, doesn't define you as a failure.

You comments on Growth Mindset are spot on.  However, your spelling and grammar needs some help.  Try typing in another document and correcting it and then cutting and pasting in the comment box.  This is not going to go away.  Every class you take you will have to deal with this as well as when you become a role model for your students.
