Education World: Wire Side Chats: How Can Teachers Develop Students' Motivation -- and Success? - 0 views

  • Teachers should focus on students' efforts and not on their abilities. When students succeed, teachers should praise their efforts or their strategies, not their intelligence. (
  • When students fail, teachers should also give feedback about effort or strategies -- what the student did wrong and what he or she could do now.
  • teachers should help students value effort.

  • teach students to relish a challenge
  • keeping a balance between valuing learning and performance.
  • (a) valuing learning and challenge and (b) valuing grades but seeing them as merely an index of your current performance, not a sign of your intelligence or worth.
  • Work harder, avail yourself of more learning opportunities, learn how to study better, ask the teacher for more help, and so on.
  • They are very performance-oriented during a game or match. However, they do not see a negative outcome as reflecting their underlying skills or potential to learn. Moreover, in between games they are very learning-oriented. They review tapes of their past game, trying to learn from their mistakes, they talk to their coaches about how to improve, and they work ceaselessly on new skills.
  • Teaching students to value hard work, learning, and challenges; teaching them how to cope with disappointing performance by planning for new strategies and more effort; and providing them with the study skills that will put them more in charge of their own learning.
  • there is no relation between a history of success and seeking or coping with challenges.
  • praising students' effort had many positive effects.
  • We should praise the process (the effort, the strategies, the ideas, what went into the work), not the person.
  • By motivation, I mean not only the desire to achieve but also the love of learning, the love of challenge, and the ability to thrive on obstacles.

  •  
    Maria Popova's blog, brainpickings, on Carol Dweck's work on mindset.

Growth mindset leads to curiosity, learning, exploration, and creativity. Fixed mindsets lead to the status quo and adhering to what exists. Growth mindset sees problems and challenges as growth and learning opportunities, fixed mindset views challenges as failure and underperforming. Great graphic of the 2 mindsets from Dweck's book.
