Hello everyone,how are you all,hopefully you are always in good health,let me introduce
myself my names naufal im here to talk or explain about Grit: the power of passion and
perseverance
When I was 20 years old.I went to teach seventh grade math at a New York City public
school. And like other teachers, I create quizzes and tests. I give homework assignments.
When work comes back, I calculate grades. What surprised me is that IQ isn't the only
difference between my best and worst students. Some of my strongest players don't have
stratospheric IQ scores.Some of my smartest kids didn't do well. And that got me thinking.
The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math are, of course, difficult: ratios,
decimals, areas of parallelograms. But these concepts are not impossible, and I firmly
believe that any of my students can learn the material if they work hard and long enough.
After several years of teaching, I have come to the conclusion that what we need in education
is a better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a
psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is IQ.
But what if doing well in school and in life depended on more than just your ability to learn
quickly and easily? So I left class, and went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I
started studying children and adults in all kinds of very challenging environments, and in
each study my question was, who was successful here and why? We studied novice teachers
working in very difficult environments, asking which teachers were still will be teaching
here at the end of the school year, and among them, who has been most effective in
improving their students' learning outcomes? We partnered with private companies, asking,
which of these salespeople will keep their jobs? And it's not social intelligence. It's not good
looks, it's not physical health, it's not IQ. Grit is passion and perseverance for long term
goals. Grit has stamina. Grit sticks with your future, day in day out, not just for a week, not
just for months, but for years, and works very hard to make that future a reality. Grit lives life
like a marathon, not a sprint. A few years ago, I started studying grit in public schools. I
asked thousands of junior high school students to take a questionnaire, and then waited about
over a year to see who would pass. It turned out that braver children were significantly more
likely to passed, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, things
like family income, standardized achievement test scores, even how safe the children felt
when they were in school. Likewise in school, especially for children who are at risk of
dropping out of school. To me, the most surprising thing about grit is how little we know,
how little science, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, "How do I build
grit in kids? What should I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How can I keep them
motivated in the long term?" The honest answer is, I don't know. What I do know is that
talent doesn't make you successful. Our data show very clearly that there are many talented
individuals who do not follow through on their commitments. In fact, in our data, grit is
usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of talent. By far, the best idea I've
heard about building fortitude in children is something called a "growth mindset." This is an
idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck, and is a belief that the ability to learn
is not fixed, which can change with your efforts. Dr. Dweck has shown that when children
read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenges, they
are more likely to persist when they fail, because they do not believe failure is a permanent
condition. So a growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. We need
to measure whether we have succeeded, and we must be willing to fail, starting over again
with the trials we face. In other words, we must grit to make our children more grit.
