"Still" is the key word that will lead you to develop your growth mindset and see learning as something continuous and that difficulties are NOT definitive or permanent.
With this new perspective, a positive impact can be achieved on motivation, perseverance, and attitude towards learning, in addition to strengthening the idea that with effort and dedication, success can be achieved over time, and worry is discarded for immediate results.
I agree with you regarding the change in how we learn if we adopt a growth mindset since it would not only influence HOW learning is approached. It would be a social paradigm shift that would modify the individual's attitude in all aspects of their life, assuming each problematic or unknown situation as a challenge, a new opportunity to grow and learn with commitment, inspiration, and hard work.
On the subject of qualifications, I agree with you. Of course, if you limit some of the concerns about grades, those students with a growth mindset will be more focused on the learning process and not on grades, understanding that grades are a temporary indicator of their performance and the tendency will always be to improve over time. Growing minds know that a low score is not a final verdict on your ability but rather a sign of areas that need more attention and effort.
To learn more about the growth mindset, it is impossible not to recommend the psychologist Caro Dweck. In addition to being a pioneer in the psychology of success, the field of growth mindset, her work has been fundamental to understanding how our beliefs affect our behavior. And achievements.
