Chemistry at the University of Chicago

Chemistry at the University of ChicagoI am pleased to announce that the new University of Chicago School of Mathematics and Physics and all of its teachers, students, faculty, and alumni are a great source of inspiration. The classroom experience is educational, interesting, and interesting to me.Chemistry in the classroom should not be intimidating, the classroom is too big, and teaching is too hard for a student to handle. The chemistry teacher should be up on the latest technologies and techniques and use them effectively.The other day, while I was walking through my physics lab, I noticed a student coming out from a corner with a wrench in his hand. A student in the back was explaining something to the front one, and the student I was with looked away in disgust. The young man was a student of mine from the school.The young man could not keep up with the rest of us, we needed information, and the rest of us needed to complete the project, and he could not. It turns out he had not got any of the information but had used the information as an excuse to not finish his assignment.There are many reasons that a student can not complete his or her physics projects. It can be due to laziness, lack of concentration, lack of motivation, illness, etc. Many physics students feel their teacher is holding them back, and it is frustrating and discouraging.In this school, a physics class should be about more than just the mechanics of atoms and molecules. In this school, students should learn how to think independently, critically evaluate the concepts presented to them, learn how to use logic, reason, and problem solve. These things should be taught in a way that instills self-confidence, self-esteem, and the desire to learn. In the classroom, students should be encouraged to speak their minds, ask questions, work on their own projects, and learn at their own pace. Chemistry is a science, it is a good thing, but the chemistry teacher should encourage and give students the confidence they need to get the job done.

4 Ways to Make Online Learning Successful - by TutorNerds

4 Ways to Make Online Learning Successful - by TutorNerds Take your teacher and tutor anywhere: 4 ways to make online learning successful Online Edtech has made it so easy for students to be able to learn in the convenience of their home but, they can still utilize this technology when theyre out and about. A well-rounded education includes more than just looking at a computer screen. There are on-the-job experiences, museums, field trips, and travel. Many older students are taking their teacher with them, virtually, so they can experience the world and still have a guide to help them know whats important and what to pay extra attention to. However, this requires some creative communication, and the technology is now advanced enough that teacher and student can communicate almost anywhere check out our in-home online tutoring network TutorNerd. Match with experienced tutors in your area all from the comfort of your home. 1.     Real-time interaction One of the best ways for teacher and student to communicate is through simple real-time interaction. In a virtual world, this means that the student is hearing the teacher’s voice and maybe seeing their face, but theyre not there in person. Students can ask questions and get immediate answers, and teachers can move from one topic to another without advanced preparation. One of the issues here is that its difficult to get a whole classroom of people to meet virtually at the same time, and so this type of online education tends to include private tutoring and consultation. Many students use their video for a brief meet and greet but then find the camera to be a distraction and end up using voice only while they work through their study session or learning material. 2. One-way communication Although initially, one-way communication doesnt seem like the ideal fit, it can work great in an online environment. The instructor can record a lecture or lesson ahead of time and students can watch it or listen to it when they have time. Many online students are working adults or high school students in an alternative learning environment, so they want to be able to study after work or on weekends. Many one-way communication courses still provide a great opportunity for interaction and QA theres just a delay in response. One-way communication can also work great for students working with a private instructor in a different time zone or for lessons that require additional preparation or research on the part of the educator. 3. On-the-go situations Creative communication can even help students learn while they’re out and about. For example, the instructor can record some preliminary information about artwork for artifacts in a museum that their student is planning to visit and the student can listen to these facts and figures in their ear buds while standing right in front of said artifact. In theory, a teacher could pre-record cultural lessons about world heritage sites or practical facts about how to navigate technology. Online students can be in any self-led field trip and still have a virtual teacher there with them. 4. Shared information One of the most important things about making online education successful is to figure out how to appropriately share information. What these days document sharing is readily available through Google Docs and teachers can look at students’ computer screens to help them navigate the world of Internet research by viewing their screen through programs such as Join.Me. Students can even set up a split screen where they have their work on one side and document sharing on another. Although there are many benefits to having two people sitting in the same room at the same time with a piece of paper and pencil, creative communication, and modern technology allows people to get together and learn when they would otherwise never have had a chance to meet. This encourages so much more people to receive their education in an alternative environment and give them the option to do more than just sit in front of a screen while they complete assignments. As more and more things happen online, students will be able to expand their education outside of the classroom. In-home online tutoring is a great way for students to get extra help without interfering with their busy schedules. Check out online tutoring network TutorNerd to learn more!

On Singledom

On Singledom credit: http://www.flowers-magzine.com/Reviving_Wilted_Roses I can rejoice in the fact that it’s just me again. I no longer have the burden of another person. I can do what I want, when I want. I can enjoy the uncertainty of being a twenty-year-old junior in college. I can enjoy the uncertainty of what will happen every time I go out. I actually feel like going out again. The strange sadness that prevented me from doing anything is gone. The strange sadness of knowing that I was in the wrong relationship is gone completely. I can listen to all kinds of happy single-girl music, and then recognize that it isn’t my style. I can actually figure out what my style is. I can actually figure myself out. I remember that I’m still not fully acquainted with who I am. I have yet to fully develop my own identity. I can start by gathering qualities in myself that I admire. I admire my sensitivity, as it denotes empathy and caring. That doesn’t mean that I am weak or fragile, it means that I hold consideration for others in the highest regard. It means that I am in tune with my emotions and that I have a warm, open, heart. I know that I am stronger than I seem. I can remember bad things, much worse than this breakup that I got myself through. I recognize that I am my own best advocate. I can keep my own company and be in a relationship with myself. I know that the relationship that I have with myself is the most important relationship in my life. I know that at the end of the day, I have to be my own lover. I know that unless I have a stable, loving, respect-filled relationship with myself, that I will never be able to have one with another guy. I am thankful for the non-romantic relationships in my life. I am thankful for my family, and for my friends, who are the family I’ve chosen. I know that regardless of my romantic status, my life is filled with love. I will never give up on love. I will, of course, let my heart heal, and wait for the right person to let in next. I will be patient, but hopeful. I will be alright. I’m single again, and I’m going to be okay.

Intensive and Extensive 2 Ways of Reading That Power Language Learning

Intensive and Extensive 2 Ways of Reading That Power Language Learning Intensive and Extensive: 2 Ways of Reading That Power Language Learning We learn languages for a host of different reasons.Some of us do it for educational purposes, employment opportunities, travel goals or to communicate with family or friends, among other motivations.But diverse as our motivations may be, we all want to read in our target language, dont we?Reading is basic. Its practical. It opens up worlds and broadens horizons.Its also just enjoyable. Sometimes it even includes fun material like comic books and romance novels.And most of us want to not just stumble through; we want to read well.The great news is that not only is it possible to train yourself to read well in your target language, you can actually use reading as a method to teach yourself vocabulary, sentence structure and more.With two different but complementary strategiesâ€"extensive and intensive readingâ€"we can strengthen our reading skills and overall fluency.Lets see how! Intensive and Extensive: 2 Ways of Reading That Power Language LearningIntensive and extensive reading, named after a detailed study by Harold Palmer, are two distinct methods of reading. Both are useful for learning a second language.What Intensive Reading IsIntensive reading is just what the name implies!Its reading where testing, evaluating and increasing knowledge is the primary focus. Understanding the literal meaning of whats being read is vital. Reading intensively often includes note-taking and attention to details.In intensive reading, theres an emphasis on deconstructing sentences to understand grammar and syntax rules as well as to extricate the details of the topic. It can also involve reading comprehension testing, such as finding answers to specific questions.Some possible examples of intensive reading material are reports, contracts, news articles, blog posts and short pieces of text such as short stories.What Extensive Reading IsExtensive reading is a completely different sort of approach.Know how it feels when youre doing something simply for the joy of doing it? Like riding a bicycle or dancing, when you know it wont matter if you don’t get the gears shifted perfectly or your dance steps dont hit every downbeat?Extensive reading is like that. Its reading for fun. And its doing it as often as possible.Fluency and total comprehension arent necessary for extensive reading. Its great to read at or, even better, below a comfortable level of understanding. Most of the time, an unfamiliar word can be deciphered by the surrounding text and if not, thats fine, too. Its not vital to understand every single word in order to get the general idea of a particular passage.Its generally accepted that 90-95% of the words should be familiar in order to read comfortably in a foreign language. And most of us can get along pretty well even without having all that vocabulary in our toolboxes. Guessing, especially when reading extensively, does work.The idea behind extensive reading is that increased exposure leads to stronger language skills. Think of the vocabula ry youre being exposed to when you read a lot. And seeing the structure, idioms and cadence of a language leads to familiarity, which leads to reading competence.Think about dancing again. The more you dance, the better you get. Reading extensively is just like thatâ€"but without the tight shoes!Possible examples of extensive reading material are magazines, graded readers, novels and, yes, even comic books!How to Build a Learning Program Using Both Types of Reading with SMART GoalsOne of the best ways to incorporate both intensive and extensive reading in your learning is by setting SMART goals.SMART goals are goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.Lets be clear on what this acronym means so we can see how it applies to intensive and extensive reading programs.Specific is pretty clear-cut. It means just that, specific. I want to read in Spanish isnt a specific goal. I want to read in Spanish proficiently by this time next year is a specific goal.Measura ble goals are a road map for getting to your final goal. They define the way you plan to accomplish what youre setting out to do. Ill read one blog post and one chapter in my target language every day. One post, one chapter. Totally measurable.Attainable goals are less concrete than the others in that they depend on your level of commitment. Almost any goal is attainable, but are you willing to do what it takes to make it happen? Only you can answer that one. It requires putting your mind to doing something, then just doing it.I wont read in any language other than my target language. This is an example of a goal you might set in order to make the amount of reading you want to do realistic and attainable. An  attainable goal must positively influence the overall outcome and also be attainable in itself, and whether or not it is will depend on your level of commitment.  Setting attainable goals is helpful because theyre part of the actual how to process of your overall goal.Relevant goals answer the question  why? Why are you doing this? Whats your reason for tackling the overall goal? I want to read well in my new language so I can plow through the bestseller list without stopping!Timely is definitely a no-nonsense part of the process. Set your timeframe and stick to it.Now that weve got the whole SMART goal setting thing sorted out, lets apply it to both types of reading.Devise a schedule that will allow you to apply both methods of reading to your language study. Maybe alternate days for intensive and extensive reading. Or devote an hour in the morning to one type and another hour (or whatever time you have available for reading) to the other.SMART Goals for Intensive ReadingSetting SMART goals for intensive reading isn’t difficult. An example of an intensive reading program using the SMART method might be:Specific: “I want to read five blog posts each week.”Measurable: “Ill read one blog post a day.”Attainable: “Ill only read blog posts in the l anguage I’m studying.”Relevant: “I’m trying to learn how sentences are structured and pick up every detail of what’s written.”Timely: “Every morning from 8-9, I’ll read intensively.”Remember, this plan is just an example. Use it as a jumping-off point for your own intensive reading program. If youre more of a news article person, substitute those for blogs. Honestly, there isnt one material thats best for everyone; its really a matter of personal preference. People tend to read more when theyre interested in what theyre reading. Me? Ill take a fashion magazine over a dry textbook any day! Choose options that appeal to you, and insert them in the appropriate spots.Also, the number of items on the reading list and times are suggestions. Tailor the plan to fit your schedule.When you read intensively, ask yourself questions about the material and look for answers. Compile a vocabulary list and look up every word you don’t recognize. Read to dissect the structure of t he piece and evaluate grammar rules so you can readily apply them to your own writing.SMART Goals for Extensive ReadingIt’s far easier to set SMART goals for extensive reading because so many of the stressful challenges (vocabulary lists, searching for answers, etc.) are no longer factors. This is the type of reading for enjoyment, remember? But SMART goals can still ramp up this part of your language program.A SMART goal strategy for extensive reading could read as follows:Specific: “I want to read one book a week.”Measurable: “Ill read 30 pages each day.”Attainable: “I wont read any books that aren’t written in my target language.”Relevant: “Im doing this so Ill be able to read well in this foreign language.”Timely: “Ill read every day from 4-6 before I eat dinner.”Extensive reading simply requires you to read. Choose a favorite book and read for the joy of it. Recognize what you know, but don’t stress over missed words or phrases. Quantity counts in this exercise. Of course, the bigger your vocabulary, the easier its going to be to read, but its not essential to be fluent to use this type of reading to help achieve your reading goal.Both intensive and extensive reading programs provide material for keeping reading journals. Keep track of what you read, how easily youre understanding the material, and how your vocabulary is increasing. Before too long, the journals will reflect your SMART goal programs by showing an improvement in reading skills!How to Find Interesting Reading Material That Works for YouIntensive Reading MaterialIntensive reading materials are everywhere. Blog posts, news articles and any pieces of short text are ideal for intensive reading practice. Additionally, childrens books work well in the beginning of intensive reading programs.Wondering how to track down some super-relevant intensive reading material in your target language? Easier than you might think.Say youre learning to speak (and read!) Portuguese. I G oogled magazines written in Portuguese and within 10 seconds I had so many to choose from. Here are just a couple:Planeta focuses on environmental, cultural and health issues.The Brazilian edition of Elle magazine is just as sleek and up-to-date as the one I pick up at my local newsstand.Both make me consider putting learning Portuguese on my to-do list, if only for the fun of reading their mags!I tried the same line in my browser but substituted Italian for the target language. Italian is a language I read and speak so the  huge assortment  of magazines that came up  was absolutely wonderful.Interested in the daily news from Milan?  Try  Corriere della Sera.D la Repubblica is an Italian magazine with lifestyle, fashion, beauty and even cooking tips.Both of these kept me reading and browsing much longer than I intended to be at my computer, but Im not complaining!Timely and interesting reading material? And loads of it? Whats not to love?Its a snap to do this for any language.Rememb er, resources for both types of reading can come from internet downloads, a local library or any bookstore and, apart from the bookstore, a lot of it is free.Extensive Reading MaterialWhen its time for extensive reading practice, its more a matter of narrowing down choices than searching for them! Actually, there are so many options that it might seem a bit overwhelming, so weve narrowed things down a bit.Here are some suggestions for beginning an extensive reading program:French foreign language books seem to have very attractive covers! Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) is one of my favorites, in any language! If youre a Stephen King fan, It is available in a three-book series in a French version called  Ã‡a.Spanish is such a widely-read language that there are many books in all genres to choose from. Harry Potter  always catches my attention. La hora de la araña  is the Alex Cross mystery by James Patterson Along Came a Spider.Chinese has no shortage of translated books. Life of Pi has been readâ€"and enjoyedâ€"by readers all over the globe. The Historical Lessons of China is a volume of 24 essays which, depending on the individual essay, might prove handy for intensive practice, as well.Italian is such a romantic language, both when read aloud and silently. Honestly, I could read Italian exclusively and never grow bored.  Harry Potter  is super interesting in Italian, too! For something a bit less involved, Ottavia e i Gatti di Roma (Octavia and the Cats of Rome) is a bilingual picture book.German-language books run the gamut from health to travel to spiritualityâ€"and include popular fiction, as well. Der Kleine Prinz (The Little Prince) is just as good in German as it is in other languages!English-language books  are, of course, readily available. Some of the ones from the bestseller lists are perfect for extensive reading. Theyre pulling millions of readers into their stories so theyre an ideal choice for reading practice. Practice thats riveting? Pe rfect!P.S. from Paris,  translated from the French, is getting a ton of book chatter, both in the industry and among readers. Any Dream Will Do: A Novel is filled with feel-good moments that are ideal for making reading time feel like pure enjoyment rather than part of a learning program. If youre a non-fiction fan, theres buzz about Apollo 8: The Thrilling Story of the First Mission to the Moon.More Material, and Choosing Whats Right for YouKeep in mind that what you choose for both intensive and extensive reading practice should be geared to your reading level. There are a few ways to gauge whether a book, magazine or any other type of reading material is right for you.Extensive readers shouldnt discount books theyve already read in their native language. In fact, this is a very good option for choosing books, especially if youre just getting started  with reading practice.If youre reading a book in another language that youre already familiar with, it wont be a stretch to figure out meanings or decipher new-to-you vocabulary. Hey, you already know the gist of the story, and a filling-in-the-blanks adventure has a great place in extensive reading practice.Ditto for  any material  that has side-by-side translations. They work for both types of reading but are especially helpful when reading intensively and focusing on determining critical answers or nailing down tricky  grammar issues. Seeing the words in print, in their entirety, eliminates ambiguity.Theres no shortage of graded readers and they work for both types of reading. Wondering what graded readers are? Theyre books that have been graded according to vocabulary.If you have any doubts about your reading ability or what level to begin with, why not check  out graded reader offerings? Theyre available in nearly every language and as you gain your reading chops you can advance to the next level!Consider:The Italian Bookshop for  readers in  Italian.Sinolingua for  its  beautiful Chinese readers.Penguin R eaders for tackling English.Klett for German readers.CDJapan for Japanese graded readers (some of these have  fantastic artwork!).The go-to spot for Spanish graded readers is European Schoolbooks Limited. I personally have several volumes from this site on my shelves, and a couple are very well-read.Childrens Library offers graded readers in French, and again, the artwork  in some of these books  is  delightful.Dont forget the Amazon previews, or look inside feature available with so many titles. If youre not sure about a selection, peek inside. See how many words on the first page, or first few pages, you understand. Gauge your readiness with this feature and whether youre really interested in a particular book, as well.Skim through as many first pages as it takes to find material you can comfortably comprehend. But remember, extensive reading doesnt demand that you know all the words, so give  yourself room to grow and learn!Remember: Reading Takes TimeWe learn skills through prac tice. Reading isnt any different; reading well takes lots of practice, so if its not going really well in the beginning, dont get discouraged. And dont give up!Whatever language youre studying, choose materials relevant to both types of reading. Keep at it, and expand both types of reading programs as competenceâ€"and confidence!â€"grows.Create a reading habit. Its a healthy one that will get you closer to fluency.As with any habit, the more you do it, the better youll get at it.Read, read, readâ€"and then read some more!

If you are struggling with this, you need to practice making yourself do so.   Here are some example rules that you could try to help you overcome your difficulties and start communicating more in your classes: Make a rule that you have to visit at least one teacher in their classroom/office each week. Make a rule that you must raise your hand at least once each class Make a rule that you talk to your teachers in person or via email at least two days before every test Make a rule where you tally every time you raise your hand in a class, and you have to reach a certain number each day or each week You can make your own rules or your system, but the important thing is that you start practicing.   You will find that you are more confident about speaking up and talking in front of others.   You will find that your grades and relationships with your teachers improve.   You will find that you are paying more attention in class and feeling less stressed when you get confused by a lesson.   If this is a problem for you, make it your back to school resolution to stick to a plan that gets you talking to your teachers more often.

Determining The Importance Of Recycling In Organic Chemistry

Determining The Importance Of Recycling In Organic ChemistryAt least the pendulums in organic chemistry are made from recyclable materials, as their counterparts in other areas of science tend to be made from toxic materials. This is a subject that the teacher or instructor has to be careful in guiding his students to understand the importance of recycling, with the understanding that the greatest learning that can be had by the student takes place with that knowledge. The teacher or the Organic Chemistry Tutor should encourage the students to understand this and to carry out the necessary recycling activities.The first aspect of recycling in chemistry that is extremely important is to make sure that the chemical compounds used in the synthesis of pendulums are made from pure and natural materials. The most pure materials are those that are made from man made chemical reactions. There are two kinds of reactions that are possible: these are the oxidation and the reduction reactions. O xidation is a form of chemical transformation in which the electrons are changed from an atom to another one, and the electrons are replaced by a lighter atom. Reduction is a form of chemical transformation in which the electrons are transformed into the atoms of a heavier atom.A Chemistry Tutor will encourage the students to ensure that the pendulums used in the synthesis of organic pendulums are made from non-toxic materials, with the use of ephedrine, methamphetamine, or ephedrine byproducts as chemical precursors. The students can make their own sources of these two byproducts, as these substances are available in almost every home. The main thing that has to be kept in mind here is that it is very essential for the students to respect the purity of these substances, so that they do not suffer any side effects.The organic chemistry tutor has to also encourage the students to recycle their pendulums every few weeks, in order to reduce the costs that they will have to pay for thei r chemistry supplies. The Chemistry Tutor will also have to make sure that all the chemicals used in the synthesis of the pendulums are biodegradable.Another very important aspect of recycling that the organic chemistry tutor will have to promote is the promotion of recycling of pendulums in the class. This is because he needs to monitor the students closely so that he can encourage them to make their own recycling activities. He has to tell the students that the more that they take care of the environment, the better. He also has to ensure that he monitors the students carefully, as the pendulums are considered very vital tools in chemistry.The organic chemistry tutor has to be careful in making sure that the students understand what the various recycling methods involve. Since these methods involve a great deal of work and a large number of students, the organic chemistry tutor has to encourage them to take up recycling activities, so that the students will gain a lot of experienc e. However, the organic chemistry tutor will also have to assure the students that the pendulums inorganic pendulums used in the synthesis of organic pendulums should be pure, since the pendulums can be recycled if they are made from non-toxic materials. This is necessary, as the students have to be reminded that the pendulums are very important in organic chemistry.An organic chemistry tutor should be able to encourage his students to make their own sources of these byproducts, and even to have a large collection of these materials in his house. He should also be careful to remind the students that there are various amounts of these byproducts that can be found in organic chemistry, and so the students should not leave them lying around.

The Growth Mindset vs the Fixed Mindset.

The Growth Mindset vs the Fixed Mindset. What are the Growth Mindset and the Fixed Mindset? ChaptersDefining Growth and Fixed Mindsets.Some Examples of Fixed and Growth Mindsets.The role of mind set in your ability to achieve success is an idea that has become hugely popular of late due to the work of the Stanford University psychologist and professor, Carol Dweck. Her two books, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success and Mindset: How You Can Fulfil Your Potential, have both become bibles for many educators, entrepreneurs, writers, and politicians.Both books outline the theory that has made Dweck famous: there is a continuum of ‘mindsets’ that stretches from the ‘fixed mindset’ on one end to the ‘growth mindset’ on the other. Where you sit on this continuum has huge impact on your chances for success, your ability to receive praise and criticism, and your ability to face failure and take risks.It has been a hugely inspiring idea, not least because it takes an ancient idea â€" essentially the difference between nature and nurture â€" and repackages it as a scient ific theory and practice that places success as its goal.Read our introduction to growth mindset!The Value of Dweck’s Work.Yet, there is huge value in Dweck’s work. Defining mindset as a process of self-conception and self-regulation that we all have â€" and that people use to ‘structure the self and guide their behaviour’, her work gives the tools to analyse and evaluate the attitudes and ideas that define the way we think about ourselves and the things we do.In this respect, her work has given people a much greater new understanding of themselves â€" and a new attitude that has inspired them to think differently about their talents and abilities, the possibility of learning and growth, and the ways that they can achieve their goals.Here, we’re going to share Dweck’s two central concepts â€" a growth mindset and a fixed mindset â€" and show you the differences. If you want to know a bit more about the background to Dweck’s work, check out our article, What is Growth M indset Theory?Let’s get started! Teach your child a growth mindset from an early age.. This is why we referred to these theories as something like nature and nurture above.You can probably reach the conclusions yourself as to what these two differing mindsets might mean for everyday situations such as accepting criticism, encountering setbacks, and learning new things.People with a fixed mindset are thought, in their reliance on habits of mind that tell them that ability is unchangeable and set in stone, to be much less able to learn and grow and to relish that process of learning and personal growth. Meanwhile, the growth mindset sees others persevere at every setback, as they have a mental attitude which continually strives to learn new things.We’ll be exploring some of the other differences between growth and fixed mindsets below.Encountering Growth Mindsets in the Education System.But first, it is worth paying attention to the ways in which Dweck reached the conclusions of this most compelling of the theories of intelligence out there at the moment. Whilst her ideas have become rather in vogue right now, the initial studies she undertook to elaborate her theories came from a number of studies with kids about twenty years ago.In these studies, groups of children were given a test. Once they completed the test, they were all told that they had done brilliantly.However, when returning the test scores, the researchers told different groups of the children different things: some were praised for their intelligence and others were praised for their effort.After the study, the kids were monitored for their general attitude and their academic achievement. Those who the researchers had been praising for their effort were much more likely to go on and do much better than those whose intelligence had been praised. Those whose intelligence had been praised â€" their innate ability, rather than their practical effort â€" were more likely to demonstrate a fear of failure later on too.All this was take n as evidence that a growth mindset â€" a mindset that valued effort over innate ability â€" was the key to success.Find out how to develop your growth mindset!Education and the Growth Mindset Today.Nowadays, these studies have taken the education system by storm â€" at least in England. In this country, the imperative to praise effort rather than a simple ‘amount of intelligence’ in school kids has long been influential, encouraging them to persevere, to try harder, and to believe that success comes with work rather than the luck of biology.The idea that praise can be enough to instigate a change of mindset is one that has drawn criticism. However, elsewhere in the world, the difference between innate ability and developable intelligence is one that has gained a huge amount of traction.Some Examples of Fixed and Growth Mindsets.So now, let’s take some examples of the ways in which the two different mindsets â€" fixed vs growth â€" differ in everyday life.We know that both are born of the difference in the conception of the origin of intelligence, yet what affect does this have? For it to be called a ‘mindset’ at all, all of this has to be a bit more significant than a mere belief in innate ability.And that’s precisely the thing: this belief infuses all other aspects of our lives, attitudes, and ways in which the brain works.Let’s take some concrete examples of how these mindsets differ.Learning New Things.One of the main aspects of the fixed mindset is that when it comes to learning new things, people don’t necessarily have the will, the motivation, or the self-determination to do it. If the fixed mindset suggests that intelligence is innate, the motivation to learn is not there: no further education feels worthwhile or even possible.Rather than learning new things, people with a fixed mindset rather want to show themselves and others that they are intelligent â€" for reasons of confidence.Meanwhile, those of a growth mindset relish the opport unity to continually learn, as they recognise that that is the way that intelligence works.Encountering Challenges.Another aspect of the fixed mindset is its aversion to challenge. In the course of learning, any challenge or obstacle will throw them off course â€" and they are much more likely to give up than those with a growth mindset.The latter here see challenge as an opportunity for future growth â€" a means by which to learn new skills. Perseverance is one of their greatest qualities. You'll never learn an instrument if you don't believe that you can.Accepting Criticism and Advice.People with a fixed mindset are also not considered to be particularly good at accepting criticism and advice. They see it as a personal attack, a wound to their pride, their ability, and their very being.On the other hand, those who have a growth mindset are able to see the value in every criticism, in every piece of advice. If fixed mindsets want the world to know that they are clever, growth mindsets want to pursue intelligence continually. Every advice or piece of constructive criticism keeps pushing them forward.Accepting the Success of Others.Sometimes we feel jealous and resentful â€" or even threatened and intimidated â€" by other people’s achievement and success.For people with a fixed mindset, this is due to the fact that they too want to be recognised as clever â€" or that they will never achieve, with the lot that they have been given â€" the success that they see in others .People with a growth mindset meanwhile find inspiration in the success of others. They see it as something that, with enough effort, they too can achieve. Develop your growth mindset with us.Changing the World.All of this boils down to a fundamental difference in outlook on the nature of the world. And this is where the difference between the growth and the fixed mindsets takes on larger proportions.Because a fixed mindset demonstrates a fundamentally deterministic vision of the world, in which the traits with which you are born cannot change â€" and nor can anything else.Meanwhile, growth mindsets thrive in the knowledge that everything can change and develop â€" and that it should.Check out more growth mindset resources!
