Carol Dweck, whose work on mindset has been one of the most influential pieces of research for modern educational practice, proposes that each person has predominantly either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin, two of the most prominent practitioners of this initiative, have now produced 'The Student Mindset' especially for students who wish to develop the characteristics and habits necessary for sustained success in college, university and life.
