Growth Mind-Set: Including More Girls in STEM
Thu, April 8, 12:00 to 1:00pm EDT (12:00 to 1:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Science Teaching and Learning Roundtable SessionsAbstract
Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) fields have always been heavily male dominated, regardless of efforts in recent years to reduce the achievement gap between men and women entering these technical fields. Recent studies have purported that growth mindset techniques can be implemented to benefit girls who intend to enter STEM, all while quelling the notion that ability is gender-based and fixed. This review aims to analyze research on how growth mindset tactics impact girls entering STEM fields and will use the theoretical framework of growth mindset to provide necessary context to the status quo. The goal of this review is to provide rationale for growth mindset intervention in schooling systems and relay its positive impact on girls in STEM.
