Froggy Jumps The power of yetOnline version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-swZaKN2Ic by Safae MK 1 A ‘growth mindset’ means understanding that a we can develop our abilities and intelligence; they are not set forever at a certain level. b our abilities can grow a certain amount but are mostly fixed at birth. c our bodies and minds grow until we become adults. 2 In one high school, when students did not pass a test they received a grade of “not yet” instead of ‘F.’ The speaker likes this, because it helps students understand tha a it's O.K. to fail b some people just aren’t good at taking tests c they can keep studying and pass it next time. 3 (Choose all the answers that are true.) Students with a ‘fixed mindset’ were more likely to: a believe if they failed at something they would never be good at it b avoid difficult tasks because they feared looking like ‘failures.’ c look for others who did worse than they did so they could at least feel superior to them 4 When researchers taught students that learning difficult new things helped them make more connections in their brains, and get smarter over time a students decided studying was too much work b students were more willing to keep trying, and their grades went up c students were disappointed they didn’t immediately feel smarter
