'Believing that you can improve' - Growth Mindset Part 1 with Dr Fiona Shelton - Success as a Student Podcast

University of Derby Skills Podcast

In this episode Alex discusses how to develop a growth mindset with Dr Fiona Shelton.

A growth mindset means believing that you can develop in a certain area rather than your abilities being fixed. It is a skill that will help you develop other skills, particularly ones that you are not as strong with. We will discuss, what a growth mindset is, how you can grow through perseverance, and the relationship between growth mindset and feedback.
