The power of yet | Carol S Dweck | TEDxNorrköping

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The live talks at this TEDxNorrkölping event have "plasticity" in common. Capabilities for problem solving and for learning (or progress) have often been regarded as (inherited) components of the personality. Both Carol s Dweck and Torkel Klingberg have made quite clear, that improvements of such capabilities are supported by systematic use of appropriate training and feedback. Very essential knowledge for any parent, teacher, leader and human being in general.
Carol S. Dweck is a leading researcher in the field of motivation and is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford. Her research focuses on why students succeed and how to foster their success. More specifically, her work has demonstrated the role of mindsets in success and has shown how praise for intelligence can undermine students’ motivation and learning.
She has also held professorships at and Columbia and Harvard Universities, has lectured to education, business, and sports groups all over the world, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. She recently won the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association, one of the highest awards in Psychology, as well as six other lifetime achievement awards. Last Spring, the White House held an conference on her work and both President Obama and Michelle Obama refer to her work in their speeches on education.
Her work has been prominently featured in such publications as The New Yorker, Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, and The London Times, and the Manchester Guardian, with recent feature stories on her work in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Washington Post, and she has appeared on such shows as Today, Good Morning America, NPR’s Morning Edition, and 20/20. Her bestselling book Mindset (published by Random House) has been widely acclaimed and has been translated into over 20 languages.

all those people talking about the speed she's speaking: she's speaking at an event in Sweden, and tailoring her speed to an audience that's speaking English as a second, third or fourth language. As an American who's lived abroad for 20 years, I'm constantly shocked at how bad English speakers are at adapting their speaking pace to their audience. Kudos to her for giving her audience every opportunity to get the point...

[@louisehelgesson5471]

We're really good at speaking english in Sweden actually. 😄 So she could really just speak in normal speed. :3

[@emmaaaa1004]

Louise Helgesson True! I’m Swedish (have to watch this for school) and I put it on 1,5 speed because the slow pace bothered me

[@uski]

As a non-native English speaker I absolutely agree. English speakers are generally terrible at getting themselves understood by non natives. If you ask them to repeat they are going to repeat at the exact same speed and tone that the other person did not understand in the very first place... which will not help ! Plus they are terrible at understanding people speaking with an accent. This is from my experience of living in Canada and the USA for years.

[@maig8173]

english is my first language & i didn’t notice that she was even speaking slow Lol

[@pierreester1470]

People who complain about the speed of her speech have no time to think at all

[@suthawand.2983]

As a learner who still need to improve my own English skills, she gets my respect for her slower speech. And the message is on point. It also benefits to all of us not only teachers or parents. Thank you!

[@davideckard5827]

as someone who is fluent in english and only speaks in english, i am glad she is speaking slower. so many people just rattle off stuff and its so hard to pay attention to as someone with adhd

[@ridpathos7821]

I read her book about 5-6 years ago, and it really changed my life. You may think she sounds creepy or hate her powerpoint or whatever, but her book has changed my life and multitudes of my students' lives. Her principles are now taught in nearly every classroom across every grade all over the US and the world. She's a pretty amazing person, and I can't recommend her book more highly.

[@darkEscapeUa]

[@neilscole]

Mindset is making its way into Canadian universities/colleges more than primary and secondary schooling. It's a big leap to assume these concepts are being incorporated into classrooms everywhere. I certain wish that were the case. There's also the problem of growth mindset being incorporated into a curriculum, but it's not really applied through the teacher's instruction and/or weak follow-through from students means they aren't necessarily adopting a growth mindset, but rather just "going through the motions" to complete assignments. They might use the language of growth mindset, but haven't adopted an actual growth mindset. That being said, her book dramatically changed my life and completely changed my teaching and academic advising.

[@kierstendatcher7345]

Carol S. Dweck is the Lewis and Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and her work is transforming for teachers, parents, children, and our communities. I deeply appreciate her work and that she presents it so beautifully. Upon reading her work, you will discover that she is extremely well written, intelligent, and wise and models humility.

[@TEDxNorrkoping]

I was shocked when I learned about this after having been teacher and parent for over 40 years. Very basic solid knowledge I should have got from the very beginning!

[@henryparker3420]

As a student, this was somewhere in the back of my head. I knew that I was supposed to do all of my homework, and get the best grade, but it became really hard when I was doing homework on things I knew. Instead of doing homework I would scour the internet for the big questions I had. what *are* sine and cosine? what *is* dx? why can't we divide by zero?

[@henryparker3420]

I walked away from high school with a bad grade and a passion for learning.

[@varunmaheshwari9025]

Henry Parker Often times my Modern World History Honors 9th grade teacher will tell me, "It's not about the grade. It's about the learning experience and what you take away from it." Although I agree about the learning part, I disagree with respect to the way he feels about grades. Grades don't display everything, but grades and test scores are so vital to colleges that it is absolutely necessary to get good grades to get into an institution that I want to go to. I mean, I know people that are smart but lack the ability to score well on tests which is unfortunate.

[@TEDxNorrkoping]

Varun Maheshwari Yes. Grades are used and needed for selection in situations where qualifying exams or other means are not applicable. However, I think that the label "Not Yet" is always superior to a label meaning "(Permanent) Fail".

[@varunmaheshwari9025]

Bengt Lennartsson Yes, definitely. The thing is, however, if someone doesn't pass a course they've essentially failed. They haven't failed permanently, but temporarily they have. And even if you tell them "Not Yet", it still means the same thing. Although it is encouraging, if I was to fail a class the label Not Yet and Fail would mean the exact same thing to me.

[@grandpamel7736]

If you don't appreciate her talking speed, just use the youtube settings to change the speed to your liking. No need to complain.

[@yermiramakhatova7252]

I really don't care about the pace, I care about the point. And point taken. This is absolutely amazing video which I would strongly recommend to watch

Thanks Prof. Dweck! 🙏🙏🙏

[@botsynth]

It is absolutely brilliant. It is like theory of everything for general relativity and quantum mechanics in phycology, philosophy and cognitive behavioral therapy. It is like a stone on which everything else is built. Absolutely underrated.

As a mom, I have already started using this expression consciously with my daughter. Such a miraculous powerful phrase to know and use! Thanks, dear Dweck for this amazing reminder

[@tlp5846]

Thanks Dr Carol Dweck for such great reminder!

[@maryopot4253]

Very articulate....thought provoking

[@user-oq6bl7gi2z]

I’m so glad to hear you’re speach

[@Autotelique_moi]

So amazingly interesting! Thanks professor Dweck!!

[@mikequitugua]

Whenever someone asked me to do something I couldn't do I always tell them "not yet". I'm glad Dr. Dweck confirmed it was a good habit.

[@neilscole]

@@alegriart I think what Mike meant is that if he can't do something, but someone has asked him, he says "not yet." For example, I can't swim, but when asked "can you swim?" I respond with "not yet." My goal is to learn to swim, so I can't swim *yet*.

[@sharinaross1865]

Thought provoking.

This video changed my morning....and feel like it's def going to change my life ,too....she sound really confirmed and it has that pecial power!

[@rhondadaly3798]

Very inspiring words professor Dweck

[@sfcnav]

What an amazing way to approach learning.

[@TheJiei]

I really love the word "Yet" :) It is so important for us, the adults, to let the children know that they always can explore more if they don't know something "yet". Although, it is very crucial to raise children's self value, we have to admit that there are too many places still using numbers or letters as if it proves how much they worth... & unfortunately, many children lost their confidence in themselves before they try :/ We all should make difference, not just school, but at home too. We gotta remember the statistics doesn't conclude anyone's personality or their potentials!

My teacher suggested this video to our class and this really opened my eyes on why I have such a negative outlook on subjects that I find difficult. Glad to know that there is still hope that I can change my thinking approach.

[@ThundersonMusic]

The comments about the speed of her delivery really make me laugh. It is quite true. She is clear, thoughtful and intentional with every word. Many people have already connected Jeff Bezos quote - "be proud of your choices not your gifts" as being inline with Dweck's research and growth-minded encouragements. She is brilliant and the subject matter is exciting even if she is not a charismatic speaker. The effort/work she has put into her insights vs. the natural gift of charisma. LOL!! This is well worth the listening and applying -- at any speed. You wouldnt want her to see negative comments and give up on sharing. Although, I trust she would be beyond that! Y'all just got a Tik Tok attention span. LOL!
