Topic: Growth mindset
Date: Thursday
21 October, Time: 12h00 Facilitator:
Zamangwane Khanyile, Email: Khanyilez@ukzn.ac.za
Do you believe that you were born
and raised with a fixed set of skills and abilities—such as your
IQ—that you had from birth and will stay with you your entire life? Or do you
believe that your ideas and beliefs are changing, that you can learn new skills
if you work at them, and that your wisdom and intelligence grow with each new
experience?
If you said "yes" to the first question, you have what is called
a "fixed mindset." If one has a
"fixed mindset," it can be problematic because one's
fear of making mistakes can lead one to avoid opportunities that would help one
grow, do well academically, and create the life one desires.
If you said "yes" to the second question, you probably have what
Stanford professor Carol Dweck calls a "growth mindset." If one
has a "growth mindset," one usually enjoys challenges, despite
the risk because one values learning and growth.
So if you currently have more of
a fixed mindset - do not worry —you can develop a
growth mindset! Developing a growth mindset will
teach you to embrace failure and find new ways of succeeding.
Attend
this workshop and achieve your academic potential!
