 * 1) Culture gap: Mindset
 * 2) Articles that highlight this culture gap:
 * 3) Changes to be made to these articles:

Mindset wiki page: individual vs collective, fixed vs growth, leader vs follower

Western world vs other countries

We are going to be focusing our efforts on the Mindset wikipedia page and taking a cultural approach when discussing mindset in a classroom setting. As a group, we are going to compare the general Western world mindset to those of other countries and how these differentiate in the individual vs collective dynamic, fixed vs growth dynamic, etc. The topic of this project relates directly to our course material. The mindset of a child can influence their success; in addition, the mindset of a teacher sets the tone for a class and how the class will function. Schooling in cultural communities varies greatly depending on the environment they were brought up in.


 * This is an interesting topic. One of the challenges will be find secondary sources. Have you found any yet? Try searches in academic databases (e.g., Google Scholar) using the keywords "mastery orientation" "cultural differences" and the like. Mastery orientation, or mastery goals for learning, is essentially a pseudonym for growth mindset. Drewdeecopp (talk) 21:28, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
