There was this talk by a psychology professor named Carol Dweck and she basically says that if you provide pupils with a grade of "not yet" instead of providing pupils with a 'failing' grade, they will learn to adopt a growth mindset. This means that they will be much more likely to reflect on their approaches, accept challenges and therefore improve academically. In comparison those with a 'fixed mindset' tend to 'run away' from challenges and errors, and therefore when they receive a 'bad' grade they don't engage with actively establishing how they could improve their strategies to reflect their true capabilities.
Several studies have been conducted looking into her ideas, which she mentions in her talk.
I found this really intriguing so I decided to write a blog post about it. Her concepts, theory and research is explained in more detail on there. I'll leave the link below as it would be too much to write in this post. The video of her talk is also attached in the post.

What are your views on this? How effective do you think this growth mindset strategy is?
