Bad behaviour presents a significant barrier to achievement and motivation within KS3/4 classrooms, and is a significant contributory factor leading to nearly 50% of teachers leaving the profession within their first five years……a career in which they sort to positively influence the young minds of the future….

In today’s working world where adaptability is the key to success, certainly considering this quote by unarguably one of the most influential scientists ....ever, supported too by a recent report by the workplace consultancy Mckinsey, who identified that up to 375 million workers worldwide will need to change roles or learn new skills by 2030, consideration of Dweck’s Mindset Theory is most definitely worth a thought or two!

Here at Taylor-tastic, we continually reflect on our teaching and it’s impact on children’s learning as we, of course, want our students to continue to achieve. In considering this, Dweck’s mindset theory is certainly one for us to consider, but one for parents to consider too.

Dweck, a prominent psychologist, and influential in research into children’s responses to failure, interestingly found that while some children bounced back from setbacks, others appeared devastated by even the smallest setbacks. After studying the behaviour of thousands of children, Dweck coined the terms ‘fixed mindset’ and ‘growth mindset’. Dweck claims, if a child believes themselves to be ‘clever’, this essentially serves to put a cap on their learning and they are more likely to become upset if they do find something challenging, and would rather look for an easier way out. This is termed a fixed mindset. Conversely, if a child believes they can become smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger so, therefore, when faced with a challenge, they put in extra time and effort which, in turn, leads to higher achievement. This being termed growth mindset.

‘This is all well and good I hear you say’, but ‘what can I do as a parent to influence that?’ What we find interesting about this theory is the massive impact as teachers we can have over a child’s mindset, and equally as important, the massive impact parents can have too. Dweck observed that a child’s mindset can be changed from a fixed to growth mindset quite easily, and that is through the nature of feedback or praise given. Quite simply, telling children they are smart encourages a fixed mindset, they feel they ‘are who they are’ and have a set level of intelligence, and will be adverse to trying new things because they want to rely on their ‘talents’ alone. Praising hard work and effort, on the other hand, cultivates a growth mindset. When children have a growth mindset, they understand their brain can continually grow and develop enabling them to take on challenges and learn from them, in turn, increasing their abilities and achievement, and ultimately their future adaptability. Isn’t this what we want for all our children?

A growth mindset is of paramount importance not only during a child’s school career, but in their future roles and successes too.
