The growth v. fixed mindset has to do with the fact that fixed mindset does not allow your brain to develop, and with the help of trends and contribution, we are able to prove that. Growth Mindset is a discovery made by professor of psychology named Carol Dweck. What she discovered is that you will be more successful when you put in effort and overcoming challenges instead of just giving up. Fixed Mindset is an unsuccessful thing for a person to have especially when you want to have a good career. “Trends is important to the growth and fixed mindset”; Cameron Lisney mentioned in the Growth Mindset Animation,”with fixed mindset you will only get to your goal and not go further that your goal,but with growth mindset you will reach your goal but you will go beyond the goal that we reached”. Cameron Lisney also mentioned in the Growth Mindset Animation,”start by listening to the fixed mindset voice and when you hear it, talk back with the growth mindset voice and if you hear “I can’t do it” add “yet”. Mindset has a contribution on how people think either fixed or growth the person has their own way of thinking. Either being fixed meaning the person lets one obstacle stop them or growth meaning the person keeps climbing the obstacle and not stopping until they make it. Sometimes mindset can have bad contributions if the person with growth mindset stops having the same motivation, they will stop having the growth mindset and turn into a fixed mindset. It is easy to get in the fixed mindset, but not so much getting out of it. That’s when there needs to be changes made like the trend icon informs. Similar to the contributions, there needs to be motivation and praise for effort in order for the fixed mindset to slowly become the growth mindset. However, if there is only praise involved without any real progress, the growth mindset process is going nowhere. Specific evidence can be found in an article called “Teachers, Parents Often Misuse Growth Mindset Research” Carol Dweck says which states, “ Praising effort alone, she says, is useless when the child is getting everything wrong and not making progress”. What the quote means is that parents need to know when and how is the right time to praise a child for effort. Mindset is important for adults and even to children this matters because sometimes people make mistakes that you can’t develop your brain. We can’t all decide which mindset we have from either fixed or growth but that’s your decision not others. The brain is an important part of the growth mindset discovery. The brain symbolizes how rapidly it grows because the brain grows bigger and bigger when you are learning just like growth mindset. Growth mindset helps develop the brain. The brain is the main part of growth mindset,so that is why we decided to make the brain the main character in this project. Not only is the brain is part of the growth mindset but growth mindset is part of the brain. The brain and growth mindset are the better together then separated. They are both part of you future and is what you depend on everyday. The arrows symbolizes a pathway with different ideas on how growth and fixed mindset are different. We choose to do arrows because we wanted to show the contributions growth and fixed mindset do.
