Dr. Carol Dweck, of Standford University is studying and observing new psychological concepts throughout learning in K - 12. Studies show that students are pre-destined to be in a certain skill category and it will stay that way until they are finished with school completely. Dr. Carol Dweck does not understand this concept and has her own concept called Growth Mindset that helps students to breat mental barriers that usually hold students back from learning and allows them to learn with different learning styles.
As a future teacher, I would be able to better educate my students by using this resource. The Growth Mindset concept will help students to branch out of their normal learning style and learn differently. Using these videos, I would have discussion and even blog topics or journal topics about them so that students can express what they have learned. This is always a good way for students to explore new ideas.
