POSITIVE MINDSET IN TEACHING
AMOR A. BAÑAL
Recognizing the importance of state of mind is necessary to achieve success. The innate ability of a person has a significant role in the workplace. Despite the difficulties and hurdles in the work setting, the idea of growth mindset manages great outcome and results especially in the teaching-learning process.
According to Psychologist Carol Dweck, results can be in the fixed mindset or growth mindset of a person. The fixed mindset has no change with the decisions you make while growth mindset focuses on the changeable abilities of a person towards his work.
In the workplace, mindset is crucial for decision-making purposes. It allows continuous support for improvement and contributes to one’s growth. When workers have learning opportunities such as seminars and training, it helps them to become more growth-oriented in their jobs.
Focus on the good things, practice gratitude, spend more time with positive people and practice positive talk may lead to a great mindset in the work setting.
Research shows that mindset plays a substantial role in determining life’s outcomes. Proper understanding, shifting, and adapting your mindset improves one’s health and makes more resilient to life’s challenges.
Mindset influences every individual to accomplish their task appropriately. Having good attitudes in the workplace develops a positive working environment, determines employee’s morale, productivity, and builds trust. On the other hand, a negative attitude creates distrust among employees and fails to succeed.
An optimistic mindset in teaching demonstrates competitive change in the workstation. It is believed that workers can do many things based on their intelligence and ability to deal with others. Moreover, having a positive mindset achieves success and tends to reach their goals in the workplace that will benefit the learners in the acquisition of knowledge, skills as well as values.
