"I think, therfore I am" - Descartes
Question : What does this quote mean? Answer : This quote basically means that someone who thinks, exists in this world. Many professors and psychologists were researching about mindsets including a professor named Carol S. Dweck. Dweck’s contributions about the growth mindset has been trending upwards. Her contributions were about the 2 different mindsets, the “growth mindset”, and the “fixed mindset”. She figured that people who try hard and don’t give up easily, have a fixed mindset. And people with a fixed mindset is the opposite of a growth mindset. Ways to let people get a growth mindset, are praising them. Dweck supports the fact that, “Our research shows that when we praise kids for the process they engage in for their hard work, their strategies, their focus, their perseverance - they learn that challenge seeking.” meaning that praising people can help them learn more challenging things and increase their focus. Knowing both fixed and growth mindset is important because if you think you are doing horrible because you are failing can cause you to fail even more. Just because you know you have a fixed mindset doesn’t mean you can change it. If you continue to challenge yourself with laborious things, then you can experience growth mindset. For this poster, we represented rational and irrational for an example to the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. For the fixed mindset, we put rational, which is representing stops making progress for us, and for the growth mindset, we used irrational, which for us means always succeeding. After this, we just added decoration that can go with examples. "I think, therefore I am." Renee Descartes
