Growth V' Fixed Mindset

Our icon, over time, and imperative, parallel shows the way we see the two types of mindset. In the video, Carol Dweck, "Developing a Growth Mindset", she explains how a teacher took a low level kindergarten class, (‘many of whom could not hold a pencil for the first time’) from Harlem, (New York) to the 95th percentile, this shows our icon [change] over time. It shows this because over time a low level kindergarten class raised all the way up to the 95th percentile. This isn’t the only case where the teacher had a low level class and transformed it to a high level class. In the same video, Carol Dweck, "Developing a Growth Mindset", she uses another example with the same teacher who took a fourth grade class (located in the South Bronx) that was behind and brought them to the top of New York State (In Math). Dweck also had her own studies in which she gave student complex math problems in which the ones with a growth mindset learned and accepted that they didn’t get the problem right, while the ones with a fixed mindset tried to find people who were ‘dumber’ than them to cope with them now knowing.
The significance of the icon, over time and the imperative, parallel is that they show how Dweck’s theory changed over the course of her research and how other theories are similar to hers, but use different examples. These types of things matter because they show you how growth mindset was not that important but then became very popular in schools all over the world. Parallel is important in order to show how Dweck theory was influenced by other researchers and was not just herself. The imperative (parallel) shows similarities between two different ideas and the icon (changes over time) which shows changes over time are very helpful towards understand the Growth vs. Fixed mindset. The changes over time are very helpful in the sense of letting you know how researchers have changed their thoughts about mindset. The parallel lets you know how not only one person influenced this but many other people did too.
In our ‘artifact’ we decided to present our imperative, parallels as the more prominent theme. How did we present it? It is represented on the bottom of the paper with the two parallel lines (going horizontal). It’s represented by two track runners doing the hurdle event. The obstacle that has been represented in mindset are the hurdles. When the fixed mindset runner knocks over the obstacle they decide to give up contrast to the growth mindset runner who knocked over a few hurdles and continued to run.
