Question

1. nijah has taken piano lessons all her life. while she considers herself to be a capable player, she believes her skills are limited. recently, her pastor asked if she would be interested in performing regularly at the church. despite feeling nervous about playing to a live audience, she accepted the invitation. at first, nijah only played music she knew very well to minimize any mistakes she might make. after several performances, she became more comfortable and set a goal to start playing pieces that were more challenging. eventually, she branched out even more by including other musicians to play with her. does nijahs approach to playing the piano reflect a growth or fixed mindset?

Explanation:

Nijah started by being nervous but then took on more challenges (playing with others, more complex pieces). She set a goal (performing at church) and improved over time. A growth mindset involves believing abilities can be developed through effort. A fixed mindset is believing abilities are static. Since she worked to improve and took on challenges, it reflects a growth mindset.

Answer:

Growth mindset
