What is the difference between hard-wired intelligence and the belief in it, and how does it affect learning?
Hard-wired intelligence is the belief that intelligence is fixed and cannot be changed, while the belief in it is the belief that intelligence can be improved through effort and practice. This belief can affect learning by either limiting or expanding one's potential for growth.
