Growth mindset is a very interesting learning tactic – and the wonders it has worked in less privileged areas is fascinating. However. I don’t think that it is something that I can practice. Making “uncomfortable the new comfort zone” can work for other people – not for me. I’m twenty-six and completely revamping the way I learn isn’t something I wish to try.
I like the way I learn (visually and kinetically) and I’m too settled in my ways to try to change now. It’s just too bad that all of this research hadn’t already happened by the time I was in school, things probably would have been a lot more tolerable.
Hi Kirsten! I am glad that you are upfront and honest in this blog post! I told myself at the beginning of the semester that I was going to try and implement this for myself. But in all actuality, it is hard to try and teach an old dog new tricks. I think that the growth mindset can help a lot of people. But at this point in my life, when it comes to learning styles, I know what does and doesn't work for me. So good for you for trying it and knowing that you don't like it! Also, the cat meme is adorable.
