Abstract:

21st century is the period of challenges and competitions for our students. The main purpose of education is to give better learning to our students. Rightly said by Albert Einstein that Education is not the learning of facts, but training of mind to think. The review of related literature suggests how a growth mindset is instrumental in student’s academic performance. Since long we have been trying to look for various methods and strategies for better learning, but actually it is the belief in the capacity of an individual to learn and grow. Belief in learning is more important than the capacity to learn. It is the mindset of a student that has the great influence on learning. There is a need to understand the relationship between learning and brain training. This paper attempts to explore about our mindset, fixed mindset and growth mindset, the difference between both the types of mindsets and the strategies to develop a growth mindset which is helping immensely in creating successful citizens of a nation.
