How Context and Learning Mindsets Advance Academic Outcomes: Findings from National Study of Learning Mindsets

Mon, April 20, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents findings about how context and learning mindsets affect and advance academic outcomes. The findings are based on the National Study for Learning Mindsets, a first-of-its-kind longitudinal, double-blind, randomized trial conducted in a representative sample of U.S. public high schools. Previous findings have indicated increase in grades of lower-achieving students in core classes over the academic year and the rates of taking advanced math courses in the following school year. The findings presented here examine how context and school environments and norms influence the effect of the mindset intervention treatment among different types of students in different type of schools including varying levels of impact from this treatment.
