GROWTH MINDSET

I never heard of the growth mindset before but if I'm looking back on myself and peers i can recognise the effects of having a growth mindset on learning and on your work.

Personally to me it would depend on my interest in learning the subject or to get better at something. Like if i really like something, such as how i enjoy doing web development/design, it doesn't matter if I'm good at it or not I'm just doing it and growing with it because in enjoying it. whereas if I'm not enjoying something I won't feel as easy going with it and may feel stressed and "stuck" like i can't do any better because i won't put as much effort in inevitably.

I've learnt normally when i learn new things initially I'm very exited at the thought of being the best at it and doing well without thinking about the process of getting there. so eventually when i hit a tough spot in learning this new thing i tend to panic and think about giving up for a split second before i get back into it and try harder and so on..

* "do you think you'll be interested in learning more about the growth mindset this semester?"

I don't see what more there is to learn without it getting too tedious and boring i like to keep things short and sweet this was very informative but i didn't enjoy listening to that woman talk the only reason i liked it was because of the RSA animation in all honesty i found it very clear and helpful!

My personal learning goals for this semester would be to maximise my attention span, i tend to zone out when I'm tired so I'm looking into making sure I'm well rested and on top of my work load so i don't burn out too quickly.
