Table 1 Teacher statements in experiment manipulating classroom mindset culture.
From: Shifting the mindset culture to address global educational disparities
Experimental Condition | Messages | Opportunities |
|---|---|---|
Growth mindset teacher-led classroom culture | E.g., “This class is set up the way it is because I believe that all students can learn and do well in the class, no matter where they started out.” | E.g., “If you show improvement in your exam grades over the course of the term, I’ll raise your final grade.” |
Fixed mindset teacher-led classroom culture | E.g., “Students who do the best at the beginning of the year are typically the same ones who do well at the end.” | E.g., “You cannot make up for problems missed on previous tests, so make sure you’re prepared for each test.” |
