Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this episode of Teaching A to Z, we explore Growth Mindset: Research and Implications in the Classroom—what the latest studies reveal about its impact and where the evidence falls short. While growth mindset has inspired educators to focus on effort and persistence, recent research suggests that the effects on student achievement are modest. The podcast highlights that a more reliable way to boost learning outcomes is by increasing student motivation. Listeners will hear practical, research-based strategies for integrating motivational techniques into daily teaching—from goal setting and autonomy-building to connecting learning with students’ interests—helping teachers create classrooms where students are not just trying harder, but truly wanting to learn.Support the show
