One of the things that caught my attention was Kohn's perception on the effects of praise on children. I've always thought that praise is a good
motivating factor for children to work harder, but Alfi has clearly challenged
that perception. I want to explore more on this particular issue. Furthermore,
the notion of static/fixed mindset vs. dynamic/growth mindset needs to get more
popularity and public support. In other words, I want to incorporate the
concept of growth mindset into my teaching and learning.
Lastly, I really liked the short video clip where the teacher
stopped students before they solved the problem and they solved it together as
class. It is a great illustration of ESA (Engage, Study & Activate)
phenomenon. The students studied by actively engaging themselves in the
problem. It is also a great example of making learning especially Math fun. I
look forward to making my teaching and learning fun and engaging!
