The focus of the researcher is to create an impact on the perception of the students. Mindset is the person’s collection of thoughts and beliefs that shape thought habits. The thought habits affect how you think, what you feel, and what you do. Your mindset impacts how you make sense of the world, and how you make sense of you. This includes how people think about their intelligence, capabilities, and talents.Dweck (2006) classified mindset into two types; the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits; while in a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work-brains and talent is just the starting point.
