The objective of this research is to study how the learning environment could help foster a growth mindset in students. Too many students focus on the final grade they get on an assignment rather than identifying and learning the patterns of their errors. I believe that a positive learning environment can help students change their approach to learning by allowing them to acquire a growth mindset. A positive learning environment is one in which students feel safe and comfortable making mistakes. It is a place where students feel supported academically despite their level of understanding of a certain subject. My hypothesis is that the students' mindset reflects the learning environment. My intervention aims to get students to focus on the learning process (that is, to think about how they arrived at their answer rather than what the correct answer actually is). A support factor also includes the type of praise my students will receive from me. . I hope to create an environment where praise is given during (not just after) the learning process and it will be a rewarding effort on the part of the student, as opposed to what they learn. A student with a growth mindset will see the wrong answer. as an indicator of what they need to work on a little more, as opposed to just what they don't know or haven't managed to learn. Students with a growth mindset understand that with time and effort, their ability to learn the material will increase. On the other hand, a student with a fixed mindset will attribute their failures to their abilities. They view learning as a product rather than a process, where the answer is either right or wrong, and if they get it wrong, they are simply incapable of learning the material... middle of paper.... ...development and health.
