       Every time we make a mistake, our brain opens to #learning.National schools humiliate children. A motivation is that its role is to justify the social status assigned to each.Other forms of learning, on the other hand, have no meritocratic mission: children can learn for themselves.#EstelleSays 🧶#neuroscience #raceMaking #adultDomination #patriarchy #intelligence #growth #talent #teaching #joy #willingness #antiPsych #psychology #control #merit #success #doubt #personalDevelopment #school #assignments #assessments #education #imagination #performance #ranking #SamahKaraki #meritocracy #practice #training

       THE IMPLICIT THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE"Carol Dweck's theory of mindsets deals with implicit beliefs, states of mind that individuals have about fundamental human qualities. A ‘fixed state of mind’ (also known as entity theory) assumes that our character, #intelligence and creative ability are static givens that we cannot significantly change. Talent, according to this conception, would therefore be static, unalterable."THE EFFECT OF BELIEFS ON GOAL PERCEPTION"People with a fixed mindset, argues Carol Dweck, have an all-consuming goal of proving themselves, in the classroom, in their careers and in their relationships. Every situation calls for confirmation of their intelligence, personality or character. Every situation is evaluated: will I succeed or fail? Will I look intelligent or stupid? Will I be accepted or rejected? Will I feel like a winner or a loser?…@edutooters @psychology#learning #merit #doubt #personalDevelopment #school #education #imagination #performance #ranking #practice #training

       […]"What makes the ‘#growth mentality’ so appealing, Carol Dweck discovered, is that it creates a passion for learning rather than this thirst for approval. Its hallmark is the belief that human qualities like intelligence and creativity, and even relational capacities like love and friendship, can be cultivated through effort and practice. Not only are people with this mindset not discouraged by failure, they don't actually see themselves as failures in these situations, they see themselves as learners."Samah Karaki, doctor in #neuroscience, wrote in her book "Le talent est une fiction"@edutooters @psychology#learning #raceMaking #adultDomination #patriarchy #growth #talent #teaching #joy #willingness #antiPsych #psychology #control #merit #success #doubt #personalDevelopment #school #assignments #assessments #education #imagination #performance #ranking #SamahKaraki #meritocracy #practice #training #diversityOfPractice #institutionsDeceive #science #believe

       "The paradox of education is precisely this — that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. What societies really, ideally, want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society."James Baldwin to teachers in 1963: https://richgibson.com/talktoteachers.htm#obedience #adultDomination #growth #willingness #control #merit #personalDevelopment #school #education #imagination #performance #ranking #meritocracy #practice #training #merit #institutionsDeceive #learning #teaching #Baldwin #reform #adultism #teachers

       @estelle I may work this quote into my first year seminar class (starts next Friday and of course I’m not ready for it!).

       So here is more for you @geriruth At the end of this speech to teachers, #Baldwin restated the thesis in these words, more frequently quoted:"I began by saying that one of the paradoxes of education was that precisely at the point when you begin to develop a conscience, you must find yourself at war with your society. It is your responsibility to change society if you think of yourself as an educated person."#teach #learn #class #society #obey #obedience #teaching #learning #control #school #education #imagination #performance #ranking #meritocracy #practice #training #merit #institutionsDeceive #JamesBaldwin #reform #teachers
