13th Pan-European Conference on Digital Education

Special Edition on Growth Mindset

Dr. Dweck found that people’s theories about their own intelligence had a significant impact on their motivation, effort, and approach to challenges. Those who believe their abilities are malleable are more likely to embrace challenges and persist despite failure. This model of the fixed vs. growth mindset shows how cognitive, affective, and behavioral features are linked to one’s beliefs about the malleability of their intelligence. By helping students to develop a growth mindset, we can help them to learning more effective and efficient.

The 13th edition of the Pan-EU Conference will be devoted to explore teaching practices for cultivating a growth mindset in a classroom.

The conference is free of charge, held in English on 22nd of April 2021 from 15:00 to 16:30 Central European Time.

By helping students to develop a growth mindset, teachers make teaching - and learning - more effective. Growth mindset students request better feedback and have better learning orientation. They also show grit more often and thus persist longer.

Teaching students with growth mindset is cultivating an environment, where individuals believe their ability and talents can improve over time with hard work and effort. By fostering a growth mindset, students are taught to embrace challenges with open arms, and failure is viewed a learning experience.
