Climate C3.4: Promoted a growth mindset in students
- Instructor uses incorrect answers as a jumping board to highlight common mistakes: “Thank you for that answer. It gives me an opportunity to talk about a common mistake that I see students make....”
- Instructor uses “yet” - as in, “you have not yet completely understood this concept/formula, so let us go over it and figure it out together.”
- Growth mindset activity (Associated lesson plan and assignment)
- Instructor reinforces the ideas from the growth mindset activity/assignment - using the Growth Mindset Feedback Tool, reminding students about the pledge they made in the assignment, etc.
- Additional resources:
- You Can Grow Your Intelligence (Blackwell, 2002)
- Corrections assignments reward effort and growth rather than penalizing mistakes. Students can submit work and solutions to things they got incorrect on an exam for a return of some or all of their lost points.
- Metacognitive “exam wrapper” to support students’ reflection on their performance
- End of semester reflection
