Discuss with your partner or write to your notebook:
1. Read first what is meant by "fixed mindset" and "growth mindset". How would you translate the words into Finnish?
2. Which one describes you at the moment? Do you think people change their mindset over time? Why or why not?

• A fixed mindset is a way of thinking in which a learner believes that each person has a fixed amount of intelligence or talent. They believe that some people are naturally good at certain subjects, and other people are not. The aim of schoolwork, in their view, might be to identify who is 'clever' and 'talented' and who is not.
• A growth mindset, in contrast, is a way of thinking in which a learner believes that the brain can develop and increase its abilities and intelligence. A learner with a growth mindset knows that effort and finding a useful approach to a task will allow them to be successful. They believe that challenges will help their abilities grow. They see mistakes as opportunities for learning, and obstacles as something to be overcome.

The power of grit
Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn't the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of "grit" as a predictor of success.

The power of believing you can improve
Carol Dweck researches “growth mindset” — the idea that we can grow our brain's capacity to learn and to solve problems. In this talk, she describes two ways to think about a problem that’s slightly too hard for you to solve. Are you not smart enough to solve it … or have you just not solved it yet?
