9 Yet a few years later many students have turned away from learning. And many of the well-meaning things we do make it worse.
10
11
12 How do we make sure our students remain motivated to learn?
13 Mindsets Matter Fixed Mindset: Intelligence is a fixed trait Growth Mindset: Intelligence is a malleable quality; a potential that can be developed
14 Mindsets Matter Which mindset is correct?
15 The Plastic Brain
16 News About The Adolescent Brain (Ramsden et al., 2011, Nature) Tracked students over adolescence Many showed large changes in IQ-test performance Linked to changes in density of neurons in relevant parts of the brain
17 Making Students Smarter: Jaeggi, Buschkuel, Jonides, & Perrig, 2008
18 Alfred Binet
19 Mindsets Matter Do students hold the same mindset in different areas? Can mindsets be changed?
20 How Do Mindsets Work?
21 Transition to 7 th Grade Followed hundreds of students across difficult transition Measured their mindsets Measured their attitudes toward learning Monitored their grades in math for two years
22 1. Fixed Mindset: LOOK SMART AT ALL COSTS Growth Mindset: LEARN AT ALL COSTS
23 Looking Smart vs. Learning Blackwell, Trzesniewski, & Dweck, 2007 Fixed Mindset Student: The main thing I want when I do my school work is to show how good I am at it. Growth Mindset Student: It s much more important for me to learn things in my classes than it is to get the best grades. Blackwell, Trzesniewski, & Dweck, 2007
24 2. Beliefs About Effort Fixed Mindset: Effort is bad IT SHOULD COME NATURALLY To tell the truth, when I work hard at my school work it makes me feel like I m not very smart. Growth Mindset: Effort is good WORK HARD, EFFORT IS KEY The harder you work at something, the better you ll be at it.
25 Do Geniuses Work-- Or Does it Just Come Naturally? MARIE CURIE
26 3. Resilience: In the face of setbacks Fixed Mindset: It s about me Hide Mistakes Conceal Deficiencies Growth Mindset: It s part of learning Capitalize On Mistakes Confront Deficiencies
27 After Setback Fixed Mindset: I d spend less time on this subject from now on. I would try not to take this subject ever again. I would try to cheat on the next test. Growth Mindset: I would work harder in this class from now on. I would spend more time studying for the tests. Blackwell, Trzesniewski and Dweck, 2007
28 Math Grades Math Grades in Adolescents Blackwell, Dweck, & Trzesniewski (2007) Growth Mindset Fixed Growth Fixed Mindset Entering Academic Year Fall Year 1 Spring Year 1 Fall Year 2 Spring Year 2
29 Fixed Mindset provides no recipe for recovering from failures or deficiencies: Giving up, retreating to comfort zone Blaming others Trying to feel superior
30 Rebuilding Self-Esteem After Setbacks Students failed a hard test Afterwards could look at tests of other students. Did they look at students who had performed better or those who had performed worse?
31 Pre-Medical Students Grant & Dweck, 2003
32 Organic Chemistry Grades
33 The Fixed Mindset Turns Students Away From Learning Mangels, Butterfield, Lamb, Good & Dweck, 2006
34 The Fixed Mindset Turns Students Away From Learning Question What is the capital of Australia? Ability-Relevant Feedback Person types answer * or * Correct answer 1.5 s 1 s 1.5 s 2 s Learning-Relevant Feedback
35 Where Do Mindsets Come From? Our language conveys what we believe and what we value Mueller & Dweck, 1998; Kamins & Dweck,1 999; Cimpian, Arce, Markman, & Dweck, 2007.
36
37 Non-Verbal IQ Test
38 Messages About What We Value Intelligence Praise: Wow, that s a really good score. You must be smart at this. Effort (Process) Praise: Wow, that s a really good score. You must have tried really hard. Control Group: Wow, that s a really good score.
39 Intelligence vs. Effort Praise Mindset: Fixed vs. Growth Goals: Looking smart vs. Learning After Difficult Trial: Confidence/ Enjoyment/Performance
40 Lying Students who misrepresented their scores Intelligence Control Effort Type of Praise Given
41 New Study With Babies (Gunderson et al., 2011) Observed mothers praise to their baby over a 2-year period (1-3 years old). Measured the child s mindset and desire for challenge 5 years later (8 years old). Process praise growth mindset and greater desire for challenge
42 What to Praise Effort, struggle, persistence despite setbacks: Great effort! Who had a terrific struggle? Great persistence! There were so many hard things and you worked you way through them. Boy, were you growing your neurons!
43 What to Praise But not just effort also strategies, choices, choosing difficult tasks Wow, nice strategies. You kept trying different things until it worked! Great choices! You chose a nice hard task. You ll learn a lot!
44 What to Praise Effort, struggle, persistence despite setbacks, but not just effort Strategies, choices Choosing difficult tasks All in the context of learning and improving
45 Yesterday Praise: Look, you got an A without really working. You re really good at math! You did that so quickly and easily. That s impressive!
46 Tomorrow You got an A without working. An A is nice, but you must not be learning much. You did that so quickly and easily. I m sorry I wasted your time. Let s do something you can learn from.
47 The Power of Yet I m not good at... I can t do... I tried but it didn t work

62 The Brainology approach
63 In Brainology, students meet Chris and Dahlia Copyright 2008 Brainology, LLC. All rights reserved.
64 Guided by the Brain Orb, they take on a series of quests to understand how their brains work.
65 They visit the Brain Lab
66 where Dr. Cerebrus shows them how the brain works
67 and develops by growing new connections when you learn.
68 They learn new brain-based study strategies
69 write reflections in their online e-journal
70 use the online Brain Book to look up information Copyright 2008 Brainology, LLC. All rights reserved.
71 and use the Map to navigate the program. Copyright 2008 Brainology, LLC. All rights reserved.
72 At the end of the program, they earn the BrainMaster certificate.
73 Brainology Scotland: Increased reading achievement; attitudes toward setbacks; life satisfaction. U.S.: Increase grades; classroom conduct and engagement
74 Have you changed your mind about anything? My favorite thing from Brainology is the neurons part I always picture them when I m in school Yes I imagine neurons making connections in my brain and I feel like I am learning something.
75 Summary Embrace learning and growth Understand the role of effort in creating talent Maintain confidence and effectiveness in the face challenges and setbacks and it can be taught.
76 One Final Note A Growth Mindset for Educators Too As educators, we must constantly be learning and improving. If we don t fulfill our potential as teachers how can we make sure our students fulfill their potential?
77 Thank you!
