Abstract

The Growth Mindset is an attitude focused on the development and continuous learning of the individual, so that it contributes, in a systemic way, to the enhancement of the student. In contrast, he may assume a defensive attitude, focused on his individual performance and, in turn, avoid challenging tasks that involve learning and change (Fixed Mindset). The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between the Growth Mindset and the Fixed Mindset of public technical high school students in Rio de Janeiro. This is a research of qualitative approach, of action research type of exploratory type and interpretative nature, carried out with 98 students. As an instrument of data collection, we used a self-assessment questionnaire with closed questions and workshops applied in person and online. The data were analyzed using Bardin's content analysis. Participated in the research 98 students, 28 of whom were under 18 years old, 73% declared themselves as being mixed race or black, and 32% as white. Of these 68% lived in São Gonçalo, 12% in Niterói and 10% in Itaboraí and Maricá. From the results obtained it was possible to identify the prevalence of the fixed Mindset in the students, especially in the technical course of work safety. It was concluded that they understood that although it is difficult to change, this change is necessary, so that they can transform their lives, make them more secure and believe in themselves and in all their potential.
