A Comparison of Two Journals That Discuss the Topic Mindset and Learning
The essay compares two journals that discuss on the topic mindset and learning. The topic expounds on the way right type of mindset that is appropriate for learning and understanding most of the respective concepts. One of the article shows the way one needs to develop and exhibit growth in the person’s mindset for the person to learn and understand most of the concepts that the person should understand. The other author focuses on the type of habits and behaviors that the learner needs to exhibit for him or her to learn well important and relevant concepts to the person’s life.

From a different angle, a classroom context can explain the hypothesis, as students with certain habits such as concentration, focus, and hard work understand concept easily and perform well as compared to students with contrary habits.
