Fixed Mindset v Growth Mindset

So, are we born good at maths, sport, music, acting or even science??


This is what room 21 reflected on and discussed during week 1. As a group we talked about the difference between having a fixed or growth mindset and how it can impact our learning.


Room 21 thoughts about each mindset.

Fixed mindset

- Belief that ability  is fixed
- People are born smart/sporty etc
- Depressed after failure
- Put in less effort
- Don’t try new strategies

Growth mindset

- Belief that people can grow and develop
- See failure/setback as a learning opportunity
- Put in effort and persist
- Try alternative routes to success




So what type of mindset do you have????
