I've been receiving emails about educational webinars featuring Dweck and
the ideas promoted in her book "Mindset: How We Can Learn to Fulfill Out
Potential". I have a couple of questions:
(1) Has anyone read it? The description on Amazon appears to indicate that
it is a pop psych book for "success-oriented" people (perhaps like books on
the effective habits of successful people) but how much is hype and how much
is really research based?
(2) Companies providing educational seminars seem to be promoting Dweck's
book and work, it seems to me that it is oriented to the pre-college crowd,
so,
has anyone at the college level tried to implement Dweck's recommendations?
What have been the results? Is there something here that all teachers
should
be aware of and use in their teaching?
