Growth Mindset & Intellectual Risk-Taking: Disentangling Conflated Concepts
Clark, Shelby; Soutter, Madora
Phi Delta Kappan, v104 n1 p50-55 Sep 2022
Although most teachers are familiar with growth mindsets, many conflate it with other terms or concepts or have difficulties understanding how to best foster growth mindsets in their students. Shelby Clark and Madora Soutter describe how growth mindsets are related to, yet distinct from, intellectual risk-taking and share strategies for fostering both in students. The strategies come from their yearlong research project observing classes and interviewing students and teachers at a high school that uses a discussion-based pedagogy known as the Harkness method.
