Changing Mindset

Learning from Failure

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. "Making
mistakes and accepting failure are natural and important parts of the learning process.
Adopting a growth mindset in the face of failure provides both short and long term benefits;
it turns mistakes into challenges for triumph, just speed bumps along the way to learning and
mastery. When students make a mistake, parents and teachers should be ready to praise them
for their efforts, but not their efforts alone. They should also be sure to point out new ways of
approaching a given problem, ones that point out the flaws or shortcomings of a previous
strategy.

Of course making mistakes and failing is tough to manage, both for parents and children
but if teacher really want to help students develop a growth mindset, The teacher need to help
normalize mistakes and failures. The teacher should use these potentially painful experiences
as springboards for learning and progress.

Making mistakes, losing or failing can be painful and frustrating for students to learn.
Student failure is often not well received for students to be able to find failure from failure.
Students have the assumption that they carry out the learning process as expected but often
accept failure. independent learning changes students' thinking about fears in studying or
facing tests.

Impact *No* Fail When teacher prevent student from failing, Teacher inadvertently say:

“Students are not capable of handling difficult things.”

“Students are not capable of dealing with defeat successfully.”

“Students are unable to cope with disappointment or manage feelings of unhappiness.”

This strikes at the core of students' self-confidence; it increases their self-doubt,

discourages them from challenging themselves and weakens them from believing that they
can overcome challenges independently. Ironically, it hurts students' self-esteem instead of
building it.
 To encourage a more independent approach, teacher must help students to see failure as
an opportunity to learn, rather than something to be avoided at all costs. Begin by talking to
class about the benefits of failure, using real-life examples, such as cooking or playing sports.
Teacher may want to refer to some of own experiences of failure and explain how teacher
helped student to learn. Alternatively, Teacher can use the following case studies to
contextualise the benefits of failures:

Thomas Edison failed again and again in his attempts to make the first light bulb. Each failed
experiment taught him something that contributed to his final success.

J K Rowling's manuscript for the first Harry Potter book was turned down by twelve
publishers before finally being accepted by Bloomsbury. Or a Bill Gates who is the creator of
Microsoft experienced a failure in his career when the first company he formed was then
quite well and could generate income. However, when they tried to present the data
processing engine to Seattle Country, it failed. From here Bill Gates never gave up and
finally now together with his partners he has succeeded in creating Microsoft which benefits
are felt by almost everyone.

Be sure to praise students for trying even when they make mistakes and praise them
further when they demonstrate that they have learned from what they have done wrong in the
past.

Helpless pattern: very quickly begin to blame their intelligence at times of failures, even if they
had proviously been consistenly successful

Mastery oriented pattern : These student don't see failure as due anything,indeed, often did not
see failure. it is problem to be tackled and hence improve their performance
