In an article I read written on July 13, 2014 by Ken Bain “Confused by Failure or Focused?” discussed how there are two types of students: "helpless" students who think they are not smart enough and "mastery" or "growth" students who will try everything before giving up and how "hopeless" students think that their intelligence is fixed. Also in an interview with Ken Bain conducted by Project Information Literacy on October 10, 2012, Mr. Bain discussed more of his view on learning as one does not learn from one's experiences, but on thinking about one's experience which is a process he called “deep learning”. He also discusses issues with strategic students who basically just perform for the high grade and don't ask questions after they get the answer. Many students have this idea that learning is just about getting a high grade and once they get it, they're done, but if they do it just for the grade it can cause serious problems, they won't learn how to learn in depth and it can possibly affect their career. Worrying too much about grades can cause serious problems for students such as not truly 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, Bains stated, “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, and once they get the high grade they want, they stop. I'm very guilty of performing just for the grade because I did it all throughout high school. I was taught that getting an A was the highest grade you could get, so once you get that A I... halfway through the paper... question things and after you get an answer keep questioning them . In today's world we have many routine experts because most of today's students focus too much on grading and this leads them to not become adaptive experts. Because these students are not adaptive experts in their careers, they will not be able to solve unusual problems and will not be able to make a change in their careers. Some of these routine experts may be the best in their field, but by plugging in the numbers and getting an answer they hold back because they don't question the answer. Ultimately, tying their self-image to getting the highest possible grade leads them to some serious problems, students do not learn to their full potential and negatively affect their careers. Grades play a role in education, but they should not define a student as they do today.
