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.

Share your growth mindset practice with us and apply as a presenter.

Share your thoughts and ideas about the Growth Mindset on Mentimeter. ​We will present the answers at the 13th Pan-EU Conference on Digital Education. By creating this collection of thoughts and ideas you help the community of teachers to grow. The results will be also published in Pan-EU Conference on Digital Education Facebook group. ​

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.

An inspiring online learning opportunity for adult trainers

This online training will equip participants with knowledge and skills for creating a learning environment where emotions play an important role in the learning process. Participants will learn how to strengthen awareness and management of emotions, how to support learners in creating emotional balance and how to encourage empathy and supportive relationships.

Growth mindset is a mindset that helps teachers, students and people in general to accept challenges, love learning, learn from mistakes and persist when things seem difficult. The good thing is, that the growth mindset can indeed be developed with practice. 

Are you interested in how to teach a growth mindset? A growth mindset describes the underlying beliefs people have about learning and intelligence. When students believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger. Therefore, they put in extra time and effort, and that leads to higher achievement. A growth mindset creates a passion for learning rather than a hunger for approval. Its hallmark is the conviction that human qualities like intelligence and creativity, and even relational capacities like love and friendship, can be cultivated through effort and deliberate practice.

Teacher practice has a big impact on student mindset, and the feedback that teachers give their students can either encourage a student to choose a challenge and increase achievement or look for an easy way out. What kind of teaching practice develops a growth mindset of students? Let Dr. Kristijan Musek Lešnik tell you. Come and join our online keynote on Teaching growth mindset on 26 November 2020 at 10:00 AM (Brussels time). Apply now on by clicking the button below.

Dr Kristijan Musek Lešnik is a lecturer of psychological subjects at University of Primorska. He's an expert in positive psychology and has written many articles, books and handbooks on education and positive psychology.

Join us on the 26th of November, 10:00 Central European Time. Registration is FREE OF CHARGE, but you have to apply in advance by clicking the button below.
