○本：「Helping Children Succeed」Paul Tough 著（Random House Books）
・One of the most serious threats to a child’s healthy development is neglect – the mere absence of responsiveness from a parent or caregiver. When children are neglected, especially in infancy, their nervous systems experience it as a serious threat to their well-being; indeed, researchers have found that neglect can do more long-term harm to a child than physical abuse.
・We are mostly motivated not by material consequences of our actions, but by the inherent enjoyment and meaning that those actions bring us. … Three key human needs – our need for competence, our need for autonomy, and our need for relatedness, meaning personal connection.
・What produces those positive academic behaviors? Farrington’s answer was a quality she called academic perseverance – the tendency to maintain productive academic behaviors over times. What distinguishes students with academic perseverance, Farrington contended, is their resilient attitude toward failure.
・What made students act in perseverant ways? … The key factor behind academic perseverance was students’ academic mindset … four key beliefs that contribute most significantly to students’ tendency to persevere in the classroom: 1. I belong in this academic community; 2. My ability and competence grow with my effort; 3. I can succeed at this; and 4. This work has value for me.
