Growth Mindset: The Limits of Growth Mindset

This week, I read an article titled "The limits of growth mindset" by David Didau. Here are my findings.

The difference between success and failure is effort, as some people would say. However, according to Didau, hard work and a growth mindset is not enough to improve at a faster pace. The ability to recognize a mistake and then improve that mistake independently is what differentiates an accomplish and unaccomplished student. In doing so, a good student needs to have a good mental representation of what a good performance is. That mental representation can be a types of imagery or philosophy of the mind. I think I agree with that.
