So while Carol could argue that Scot's world works really well with her framework, Scott could argue Carol is wrong about how she classifies people and still stick by his framework.<br /><br />From my initial reading I am more sympathetic to Scott's ideas than Carol's (I am not sure yet if I buy the dichotomy description of fixed versus growth mindset), but let me think about it some more, I might revisits the idea in a post after I finish the Winning the Game lecture series.Dr.Wictzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880199562978081307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719480054640289846.post-20699652188595253762014-12-25T03:56:21.070-05:002014-12-25T03:56:21.070-05:00Thanks for this interesting blog post.

Looking at Carol Dweck's work (http://www.brainpickings.org/2014/01/29/carol-dweck-mindset/) on these concepts it occurs to me that games might foster the latter type of mindset. Putting her theory next to Scott Osterweil's "Four Freedom's of Play" (http://www.deepfun.com/2009/11/four-freedoms-of-play.html) it looks like his description of gameplay and her description of a growth mindset line up quite nicely. What are your thoughts on this?Aerjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280605486457521766noreply@blogger.com
