Carol wants the parents and teachers to praise the efforts of the children is putting out in the class room and say things such as, "I'm proud that you tried really hard," or "I see how much effort you put into this."
In the Alfie Kohn Article, it basically tells you the goods and bad about Carol research. The article goes more into depth about changing the way how educators teach kids. This article criticize and give advice towards Carol research. Fixed-Mindset people believe their basic qualities (intelligence or talent) are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They believe that you either are or aren’t good at something, based on your inherent nature, because it’s just who you are. Growth Mindset people believe anyone can be good at anything, because your abilities are entirely due to your actions. They keep up their confidence by always pushing into the unfamiliar, to make sure they’re always learning. I believe I have a growth mindset because I was always willing to learn new things, I've never had a thought in my mind saying "I can't learn this or that".
