The strongest predictor for success | Angela Lee Duckworth

¿Qué determina el éxito en la vida y en la escuela?

La importancia de la perseverancia

  • La investigación se centra en entender qué características hacen que algunas personas tengan éxito en entornos desafiantes, como la Academia Militar de West Point y el National Spelling Bee.
  • Se identifica que una característica clave para predecir el éxito es "grit", que se define como pasión y perseverancia hacia metas a largo plazo.
  • En un estudio realizado en escuelas públicas de Chicago, se encontró que los estudiantes con más "grit" tenían una mayor probabilidad de graduarse, independientemente de otros factores como ingresos familiares o resultados de exámenes estandarizados.

Construyendo "grit" en los niños

  • La relevancia del "grit" no solo se observa en contextos académicos exigentes, sino también entre estudiantes en riesgo de abandonar la escuela.
  • Una estrategia efectiva para fomentar el "grit" es promover una mentalidad de crecimiento, concepto desarrollado por Carol Dweck en Stanford. Esta mentalidad sostiene que las habilidades pueden desarrollarse con esfuerzo.
