Overview
What are some factors that hold back or push students forward in learning and performing the best they can? How do students react to successes and failures? In this interactive online workshop, participants will review evidence from social and educational psychology of how students’ mindsets about where their knowledge, skills, and abilities come from, and how students respond to challenges and setbacks, can impact the learning experience. Participants will identify the differences between a fixed and growth mindset, and how students’ and instructors’ mindsets can impact student motivation and achievement and sense of belonging. Participants will also identify strategies that can be implemented in their teaching to foster a growth mindset and increased sense of belonging in their students.
After participating in this online workshop, you will be able to:
- Explain the differences between a fixed and growth mindset
- Consider how students’ and instructors’ mindsets can impact student achievement and motivation
- Identify teaching strategies to promote a growth mindset and sense of belonging in students
