Growth vs. Fixed

This post is about video cast called "Growth vs. Fixed" and it was about a study that Carol Dweck, who is a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, conducted. In her study she stated that her views were that some people use their intellegence to show people, and other use it to learn. In here study she conducted an experiment were she had two groups of students. One group was learning study skills and the other was learing study skill as well as growth mindset lessons. No one from each group knew that there were two different groups.

The results of her study showed some interesting things. It showed that the students who underwent study skill lessons didn't show any improvement. One the other hand the students who underwent growth mindset lessons showed much improvement. The first group lacked the motivation to learn and to show any improvements.

This was a pretty interesting video. It's pretty cool to see a professor be able to express their views on the study through this kind of media. I feel that this wouldn't have been as effective if it were simply an article written in a magazine or journal. This was a pretty cool video
