this video is an interview with carol dweck a psychology professor. the video is about the debate on if a child's mind is developed over time or is it already fixed on the intellect it can obtain. the study was performed into different groups and the subjects were not told what exactly was going on. one group was taught new things to develop their brain and the second group learned study skills. the group that learned new things seemed to actually benefit more from what was going on.
Carols experiment although not conclusive was very informative and she rose some good points. the human brain is a muscle and only gets strong by using it and challenging it. she also said that children's brains get stronger as they are challenged.
i feel that the findings in this video are pretty much common sense. we all know that you have to challenge your brain to get smarter and to learn. as a teacher i will challenge my students learn and help to develop there thinking so that they will be valuable assets to their communities.
