Fixed Mindset VS Growth Mindset!!


This term in Philosophy we started to learn more about what fixed and growth mindset looks like. Last week Mr.Scott proceeded a secret experiment that he told us after. It was about the reaction and the results that students got when they were told certain things. Four groups were arranged to answer riddles, with one half being to that they were really smart and they could do everything, with the other half being told that they could do it because they worked hard. As expected the ones who were told that they could do it because they worked hard had a significantly higher score and that they did not even try to cheat while the other half, not only did they get lower points but also they tried to cheat. That goes to show, words could change everything.

I think that I have a growth mindset because I always keep trying and always do my best work... But I may have sometimes when I have a fixed mindset. An example at basketball, I always thought that I wasn't good enough and make shots at the hoops. But now I am more confident and I also practiced and practiced to get a new result.

Philosophy Bermuda Triangle..

This term we have been working on things that we want to know, we had to make thick questions. Meaning that it was hard to answer, then it suddenly changed. We now had to make something sisomo (Site, Sound and Motion.) We can't make something like a slideshow, document and poster. We had to be really creative use something else not boring. So I made a thinglink about the Bermuda Triangle. It has some facts that you might not have even known yet. But I hope you enjoy Bye!
