4. Growth Mindset went to teach seventh graders math in the New
York City public schools.And like any teacher, I
made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework
assignments.When the work came back, I
calculated grades.
2. What struck me was that IQ was not the only
difference between my best and my worst
students.Some of my strongest performers did
not have stratospheric IQ scores. Some of my
smartest kidsweren't doing so well. And that got
me thinking. The kinds of things you need to
learn in seventh grade math, sure, they're hard:
ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. But
these concepts are not impossible, and I was
firmly convinced that every one of my students
could learn the material if they worked hard and
long enough.
3. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of
super challenging settings, and in every study
my question was, who is successful here and
why? My research team and I went to West
Point Military Academy. We tried to predict
which cadets would stay in military training and
which would drop out. We went to the National
Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children
would advance farthest in competition. We
studied rookie teachers working in really tough
neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still
going to be here in teaching by the end of the
school year, and of those, who will be the most
effective at improving learning outcomes for
their students? We partnered with private
companies, asking, which of these salespeople is
going to keep their jobs? And who's going to
earn the most money? In all those very different
contexts,one characteristic emerged as a
significant predictor of success. And it wasn't
social intelligence. It wasn't good looks,
physical health, and it wasn't IQ. It was grit. Grit
is passion and perseverance for very long-term
goals. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not
a sprint. I started studying grit in the Chicago
public schools. I asked thousands of high school
juniors to take grit questionnaires, and then
waited around more than a year to see who
would graduate. Turns out that grittier kids were
significantly more likely to graduate, even when
I matched them on every characteristic I could
measure, things like family income,
standardized achievement test scores, even how
safe kids felt when they were at school. So it's
not just at West Point or the National Spelling
Bee that grit matters. It's also in school,
especially for kids at risk for dropping out.
4. So far, the best idea I've heard about building
grit in kids is something called "growth
mindset." This is an idea developed at Stanford
University by Carol Dweck, and it is the belief
that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can
change with your effort. Dr. Dweck has shown
that when kids read and learn about the brain
and how it changes and grows in response to
challenge, they're much more likely to persevere
when they fail, because they don't believe that
failure is a permanent condition. So growth
mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we
need more. And that's where I'm going to end
my remarks, because that's where we are. That's
the work that stands before us. We need to take
our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we
need to test them. We need to measure whether
we've been successful, and we have to be
willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again
with lessons learned.
In order to gain the success, you need a grit, the more gretty you are, the closer you to the succcessfull. But it's not
an easy job to get a grit, you need to concetration to your aim and never get back. So you will getting more closer to
successful. There's one thing that you should know about this, what you need is growth mindset, ability to learn is
not fixed,that it can change with your effort so growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more.
Salah satu hal yang pernah terjadi pada saya terkait dengan apa yang di ceritakan oleh pembicara
adalah, saat SMP, pernah ada test IQ disekolah saya, saya mendapatkan hasil yang kurang
memuaskan, yaitu 94 IQ, saya berspekulasi bahwa saya memang ada di level segitu dan IQ adalah
penentu dari prestasi seseorang. Lalu 2 tahun kemudian, setelah saya menemukan bahwa saya
memiliki kemampuan seni menggambar, pemikiran saya tentang kecerdasan seseorang dipengaruhi
oleh IQ kian memudar, saya mulai berfikir bahwa IQ bukanlah satu-satunya penentu dari bakat
seseorang, tapi banyak faktor lain yang bisa menjadi faktor kecerdasan seseorang, karena pintar
bukan hanya soal menghitung, tapi tentang bagaimana menjalani hidup.
