They’ve asked thousands of kids to play this game and guess what? Their mindsets changed: And the majority of children (and parents) are more worried about their grades (NOW) than if they are learning (NOT YET).ĭr Dweck shares an interesting study, where her team of researchers created an online math game, which rewarded effort, strategy and progress (YET). The problem here is that the current education system often puts children into a fixed mindset. You are learning and just haven’t mastered something YET. “Not yet” basically means that you can improve if you put more effort and try other strategies. In short, people with a fixed mindset operate using a focus of “Now”, and those with the growth mindset operate using the idea of “Not Yet”.
