Which of the following belief is good for learning ?

  • A.Ability is improvable.
  • B.Ability is fixed.
  • C.Efforts don't make any difference.
  • D.Failure is uncontrollable.

Answer: A

The belief that is good for learning is that ability is improvable.

This is what Carol Dweck calls a growth mindset, or an incremental view of ability. Learners who believe ability grows with effort and good strategies take on challenges, persist after setbacks and treat mistakes as information, so they learn more.

The other beliefs make up a fixed mindset. If ability is fixed, effort seems pointless; if efforts make no difference, there is no reason to try; and if failure is uncontrollable, the learner feels helpless. Each leads to avoiding challenge and giving up.
