Intervening for Impact: Mindsets, Executive Function, and Self-Regulation from Early Childhood to College

Thu, April 9, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Level 3, Avalon

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session features five innovative studies on interventions that enhance self-regulation, executive function, and motivational mindsets from early childhood through college. Papers include a meta-analysis of possible selves interventions, a multi-institutional trial of an online agentic orientation intervention in undergraduate STEM courses, and a latent class analysis of participation in a semester-long self-regulated learning intervention. Two additional studies focus on younger learners: one evaluates a growth mindset reading intervention for upper-elementary students with reading difficulties, and the other examines executive function and reaction time in early math learning. Together, these studies highlight the promise and complexity of designing, implementing, and evaluating interventions that support learners’ agency, motivation, and cognitive development across diverse educational settings.
