I read this blog for my weekly work. I found it as a similar link from the blog that we read "Creating a Growth Mindset." I really liked that blog so i figured that I would read up a bit more on this one. This blog is titled "Helping Students clear the way for Critical thinking." I really like this one because it applies to the problems that i faced in school. Its about changing your brain from "mechanical" to "critical."
It addresses Mechanical thinking as something that your brain just automatically does.
For example: "I'm not good at math" <-- that statement is considered a form of mechanical thinking. This means that from now on every time that you see math, your brain is going to automatically think "Oh, that's a type of math, i must not be good at that."
The blog talks about turning that thinking into critical thinking. Which is similar to growth mindset. instead of "i can't" say "how can I?"
this whole topic really intrigues me because i feel like it not only changes your mindset but it also boosts you confidence level knowing that although something may seem hard, if you really put your mind to it, it can work!
