...Growth mindset or fixed mindset, according to Carol S. Dweck studies in her article “Brainology” students either have a growth mindset or fixed mindset(1). I believe that not all students shine in every subject, but they do have subjects that come naturally to them, where they want to do better in. They also know they are going to strive in and their mentality does change to wanting to achieve in that subject. Now with a fixed mindset their mind shuts down and their self-esteem lowers and they are scared to try. So is it possible to have both mindsets? Dweck makes a good point about their only being two mindsets the growth mindset which is a believe that how smart a person can be is realized with learning and the fixed mindset is when the student makes a challenge a threat because they are afraid to fail.(1) She never states that students can have both mindsets where they can be good at one subject and be bad in another. Many students have one subject they enjoy the most and have the growth mindset of wanting to learn more, and they have subjects that doesn't come as naturally like others and have more of a struggle. I believe that every student can have a growth mindset and fixed mindset and it all depends on what subjects they like or dislike....

According to Tough on college conundrum, it is seen that the majority of the children from poor families do struggle in getting education as compared to those in the rich families. It is clear that “over the past few decades, it has become evident that the United States does not so much have an issue of restricted as well as uneven college admittance. It has a challenge of incomplete and lopsided college achievement (Tough, p. 150).” Concerning this it is clear that the United States does not concentrate on one background when it comes to ones college admission. They say that the most challenging fact presently is the non-fulfilling college accomplishment. Therefore, it can be pointed out that the college conundrum as stated means that the majority of the grades tend to show more than the mystery content. They say that this discloses characters of motivation, determination as well as the availability of good study habits and time management techniques that inform us about the great pact that a scholar will finish a college program. This is slightly different than the achievement gap since people in life are graded by their academic qualifications. They say that “an ACT preparation schedule that enhances scholar’s course not only opens entrance to...

...Most students at Anaheim schools would rather look smarter than actually be smart and retain knowledge, which doesn’t bode well for the students in college.

...I started my education in Erie, Pennslyviana.I attend McDowell High. I would say that we were one of the richer schools were I live. I am going to talk about my first assignment Brainology. I thought it was very interesting and it thought me a lot about how some people have different mindsets. Also it has showed me what mindset I have. Once you find out your mindset I felt like it opened a lot of doors for me. After reading the article it changed the way I thought in and out of the classroom. Now I try to take more time on my class work to understand it and not just stop doing it because I cant understand it. That’s what people call “Fixed Mindset” There are two different kinds of mindsets that you can have one being fixed mindsets. A person with a fixed mindset believes that you have this much intelligence and that’s it. People with this mindset worry about how much of this fixed intelligence they have. Carol has found that students with this mindset often reject learning opportunities. I found myself doing this in the classes that I didn’t understand. But in the long run it didn’t really help me out too much. Students that have a fixed mindsets and they have a setback in school more students would say that they felt dumb, study less the next time, and consider cheating on the next test. I felt that way about a class last year. I felt that the class was too hard for me. I often found myself struggling in that class. But in reality all I needed to do is read the textbook and...

...For the most part, every student that attends college wants to be successful. But how can students attain this success while in college? Well, to be successful in college, a student must follow a formula to achieve that success. I believe the first thing students should do is avoid any type of diversions that can easily ruin the chances of achieving success. For example, procrastination being one of the biggest diversions of them all. I am guilty of procrastination myself and I wish I could eliminate the horrible habit. Students should also avoid alcohol and drugs. They are not good for the body and the mind, and can a huge impact on a student’s capability to function in class. In college, some students love to party. While there isn't anything wrong with partying every once in a while, partying too much can be detrimental to a student’s grade. Not only that but, not attending class can hurt a student’s grade. All of these things should be avoided in order to achieve success....

...Feross Harajli Rodgers English 093-48 10-19-13 Success In College As time goes on, the life of a college student becomes progressively more difficult. Taking notes, studying, organizing time, and being confident plays a huge role in a student’s life. Procrastination is another thing that can hold back a college student. Becoming a college student is not about just getting good grades; it is about having a positive mindset, which will help the student become more successful, despite his or her grades. Students that are having a hard time in college should follow these steps. First, the student must be confident. Most students’ attitude towards a class dictates their success in the class. The student must enter a class with confidence. He or she must have a spirit of conquering the class and wanting to understand the material. Without confidence, the student most likely won’t succeed in the class because without it, it leads to not taking notes, not studying, and not paying attention. Second, the student must take notes. Taking notes is the key essential of memorizing lectures. Taking notes will help the student study for exams and understand the material. Taking notes will also help the student look back at previous notes and will help the student be ready for the final exam. He or she should take notes because that will help memorize the material given; and when that’s memorized, that will allow the student to participate in class and gain participation points. Third...

But many start to feel as if what is the point of the SAT, like sure it helps show your ability to figure out problems and makes it even easier to go to college.

...1. What are the common sub-mindsets (e.g., creativity, initiative, vision) that you think Steve Jobs had based on the entrepreneurial mindset framework we discussed in class? There were a lot of sub-mindsets that helped Steve Jobs become a very successful entrepreneur of our generation and I think we can learn a lot from him. One of the most important sub-mindset of his is his imagination/creativity. His Apple products have revolutionized the way in which technology is heading since their initial release of the first apple computer in 1976. His astounding capability to develop and design such technological products amazes me till this day, since my first iPhone (the 3gs) I had never switched from Apple to any other phone manufacturing company – same as my MacBook. He also had a strong vision, passionate and fearless when it came to expanding Apple. A lot of his decisions were questionable and at time risked his company but only because he really believed in it. He was able to push his business and peers to the limits without going overboard with it. 2. What did you like and learn from this video? I believe that there were a couple of lessons we could learn from Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford. The first thing I learnt from his speech is that he followed and believed in his heart, after attending college for a few months he decided to drop out of all of the courses that was required for his degree and enrolled in the ones that truly interests him – one...

...Research Proposal, Part 1 Team A CJA/334 February 18, 2013 Susan Wind Research Proposal The issue Team A will be examining is the education of officers, why they decided on that career choice, what motivated them and what was needed to fulfill that goal. The significance of this issue is to develop an idea of what is needed of an individual to become an officer. In general terms the proposed study is the psychology that lies behind the mindset of a career in law enforcement. When understanding the theory behind a career in law enforcement a prediction in direction of future events can help develop, organize, and explain the pragmatic angles inside the criminal justice system. Each angle can support and aim at developing the needed funding to support the training and opportunities individuals seek out to obtain their career in law enforcement. Scientific knowledge behind the paradigm structure of why and how may bring a different theoretical and methodological idea of the criminology career. Funding for careers come from the physical, social, and development of research and can improve on the quality and direction of an individual. In theory that quality of development may need to focus on problems that may arise, such as the demand in small communities compared to larger ones, is there funding and scholarships for minorities and females within each area and what motivates women in the direction of law enforcement.
