Another assignment we had was to listen and watch a podcast from Stanford university.The podcast was called "Growth vs."Fixed" Minds.The podcast was an interview with a professor of psychology who discussed a recent experiment at the college.It was a experiment in psychology with two groups of students.One group was given a study skills lessons the other group was given growth mindset lessons.These lessons were in eight sessions.
The point of the study was to see if students given growth mind skills would do better in school and they did.The teachers could pick out who had went to the growth mindset sessions.The growth mind sessions showed the students that the brain is continuously growing and just because they didn't know something didn't mean they couldn't learn it.Knowing this is supposed to help the students become better mentors.
