"How do you suppose a person could change his/her mindset?"
ReplyDeleteIt will require an impactful experience to change someone's views on learning. Someone with a fixed mindset will definitely be used to having a fixed mindset. In fact, their fixed mindset is what makes the transition to a growth mindset so hard. People will not change their ways just because someone else tells them to. Fixed-mindset people need to discover growth mindset on their own. For example, let's say Bob has a fixed mindset and is struggling with school. He may think, "I'm just naturally ungifted. What's the point of trying?" Bob will continue to struggle until one day he decides to try something new for a change and study assiduously for his next test. After getting a better score (hopefully), Bob will realize that nothing is impossible and will go from being fixed mindset to growth mindset.
