In an article I read written on July 13, 2014 by Ken Bain “Baffled by failure or focused? » he explained that there are two types of students: "helpless" students who think they are not smart enough and "mastery" or "growth" students who will try anything before giving in and how the “Desperate” students think their intelligence is fixed. Also in an interview with Ken Bain conducted by the Project Information Literacy on October 10, 2012, Mr. Bain discussed more of his views on learning such that you don't learn from your experiences, but on reflection on your experience which is a process. he called it “deep learning.” He also discusses problems with strategic learners who basically only score high and don't ask questions after they get their answer. Many students have the idea that learning is all about getting a high grade and that once they get that grade, they're done. But if they do it just for the grade, it can cause serious problems, they won't learn how to learn deeply, and maybe it can affect their career. Worrying too much about grades can cause serious problems for students, such as not really understanding the work, making them not feel smart enough and losing interest in school and can cause anxiety and other health problems . In the article, Mr. Bains said, “Indeed, there are several problems with strategic learners” (Project Information Literacy, October 10, 2012, page 1/4). One of the problems is that students don't really understand what they're learning if, once they get to the high grade they want, they stop. I'm very guilty of only playing for the grade because I did everything throughout high school. I was taught that getting an A was the highest grade you could get, so once I hit that A, I... middle of paper ... question things and after getting an answer, I question them again. In today's world, we have a lot of routine experts because a lot of today's students focus too much on the grade, which prevents them from becoming adaptive experts. As these students are not adaptive experts in their career, they will not be able to solve unusual problems and will not be able to bring about change in their career. Some of these routine experts may be the best in their field, but by plugging in numbers and getting answers, they lag behind because they don't question the answer. Ultimately, these students link their self-image to achieve the highest grade possible. leads them into serious problems, students do not learn to their full potential and negatively affects their careers. Grades play a role in education, but they shouldn't define a student like they do today..
