Science Café Cleveland presents
Controversies over whether students' beliefs in the sources of intelligence influence their school achievements?
AUGUST 13, 2018
FEATURING:
Brooke Macnamara, PhD
Assistant Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, 黑料吃瓜网
EVENT INFORMATION:
According to聽尘颈苍诲蝉别迟听迟丑别辞谤测, individuals believe either that their intelligence can grow with聽effort (i.e., they hold what is called a “growth mindset") or that intelligence聽is聽relatively stable (i.e., hold a "fixed mindset"). Some earlier聽research findings have suggested that holding a growth mindset is beneficial and聽results in individuals having a聽greater propensity to try and overcome聽challenges, whereas holding a fixed mindset is thought to be detrimental,聽leading to a greater likelihood of giving up too easily when聽faced with a聽challenge or even avoiding situations where they might be challenged.
These ideas have聽been widely circulated in the education community and led to intervention聽programs designed to encourage the growth聽mindset in students. Brooke recently聽tested the effectiveness of such interventions on academic achievement and found聽that these claims may have聽been overstated. Join us at this month's Science Cafe Cleveland as she shares these findings.
