growth mindset

A way of thinking about learning and intelligence that suggests people can develop their abilities through hard work and dedication.

A growth mindset can be distinguished from a fixed mindset in which people believe that intelligence and talent alone create success without effort. A growth mindset encourages learning by embracing mistakes and developing perseverance and resilience.
