Instructions
Having read for the first time about the benefits of a growth mindset, a librarian tells a student struggling with their research project to “work harder” and everything will be fine.
• Why should we expect this to be an ineffective strategy from the standpoint of growth mindset research?
• Why should we expect it to be an ineffective strategy from the standpoint of Rogerian Relational Rapport Model?
A) Initial replies/your discussion response should be 100-150 words in length, use APA rules for citations, and address the question with original insights.
B) Reply to one interesting classmate’s discussion post with which you agree or disagree. Be sure to support your stance with two to three sentences. I will provide classmates’ posts for you to select after my own submission.

Week 11 Assignment 01: Cognitive Recall Assignment: Mindsets Toward Learning
Instructions
For this assignment, you should write a one-to-two page response in a Word document addressing the following questions:
1. How do student attitudes toward the role of intelligence in learning impact their motivation to learn? Are there ways to overcome these attitudes? What might that look like? How can librarians contribute and add to teaching these ideas?
2. How can we facilitate a process-oriented approach to research? Can you think of an example of how you might do this in your own work?
3. What best practices can librarians adopt from the mindset literature to help students who are experiencing roadblocks in their research?
