Een kladblok is een subpagina van iemands gebruikerspagina. Het dient als testruimte voor de gebruiker en om nieuwe artikelen of langere toevoegingen aan bestaande pagina's voor te bereiden.

Let op: je kladblok opslaan gaat met de knop 'publiceren'. De pagina wordt daarmee nog niet in de openbare encyclopedie geplaatst en blijft een kladpagina. De kladblokpagina is wel zichtbaar (voor iedereen met wat meer Wikipedia-ervaring) en mag dus geen onoorbare dingen bevatten, zoals auteursrechtschendingen.

Het is, ook in een kladblok, uitdrukkelijk niet toegestaan om zonder toestemming auteursrechtelijk beschermd materiaal van derden te publiceren.

Carol S. Dweck (born October 17, 1946) is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University.[1] She graduated from Barnard College in 1967 and earned a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1972. She taught at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the University of Illinois before joining the Stanford faculty in 2004.

Contributions[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]

Professor Dweck has primary research interests in motivation,[2][3][4][5][6][7] personality, and development. She teaches courses in Personality and Social Development as well as Motivation. Her key contribution to social psychology relates to implicit theories of intelligence. This is present in her book entitled Mindset: The New Psychology of Success which was published in 2006. According to Dweck, individuals can be placed on a continuum according to their implicit views of where ability comes from. Some believe their success is based on innate ability; these are said to have a "fixed" theory of intelligence (fixed mindset). Others, who believe their success is based on having opposite mind set, which involves hard work,learning, training and doggedness are said to have a "growth" or an "incremental" theory of intelligence (growth mindset). Individuals may not necessarily be aware of their own mindset, but their mindset can still be discerned based on their behavior. It is especially evident in their reaction to failure. Fixed-mindset individuals dread failure because it is a negative statement on their basic abilities, while growth mindset individuals don't mind or fear failure as much because they realize their performance can be improved and learning comes from failure. These two mindsets play an important role in all aspects of a person's life. Dweck argues that the growth mindset will allow a person to live a less stressful and more successful life. Dweck's definition of fixed and growth mindsets from a 2012 interview:

This is important because (1) individuals with a "growth" theory are more likely to continue working hard despite setbacks and (2) individuals' theories of intelligence can be affected by subtle environmental cues. For example, children given praise such as "good job, you're very smart" are much more likely to develop a fixed mindset, whereas if given compliments like "good job, you worked very hard" they are likely to develop a growth mindset. In other words, it is possible to encourage students, for example, to persist despite failure by encouraging them to think about learning in a certain way.
