Confront your fears. Growth Mindset Memes
Friday, August 26, 2016
I'm really glad that Laura assigned this Growth Mindset assignment. Through the videos, I realized that I have a fixed mindset because I fear of change and challenge. I used to be "Question Girl", asking about everything when I get a chance, and now, I just try to pass my classes. Like the students in the video, my confidence was shaken when I first receive a "B" when I started at OU. I was in shock. I could not believe that my effort was wasted, but now, I see that I might not try hard enough. There were things that I could have done better, but I chose to accept my limitation. Because of this mindset, I lost my curiosity in learning new things. With this Growth Mindset activities throughout this semester, I hope to change my mindset and become for more active in my learning.

Looking back on this now after spending 12 weeks in this course, has your mindset changed?
ReplyDeleteI also have been afraid of change and challenge. I went to a very small high school and critical thinking was none existing. EVERYTHING was laid out for you and some teachers would baby you so much. I was not prepared for college and I knew it by the first week. I felt as if I just graduated kindergarten, not high school. I was so lost and insecure of myself and my capabilities. I realized it would get better, I would find a groove and style and make it through college. I now graduate in a month, and would not have made it if I did not change my mindset and adapt to new environments, note styles, studying styles ...etc.
