Abstract:
Growth and fixed mindsets impact learning by orienting students to adopt different goals (learning versus performance). In this talk, I will first describe findings that challenge the straightforward linkage between mindsets and achievement goals (Yu & McLellan, 2020). I will then discuss key teacher and school factors that can communicate growth and fixed mindset beliefs to students, along with implications for educators who hope to promote students’ growth mindset (Yu et al., 2022).
