Dweck's Mindset Theory as Context for Service Learning
Eppler, Marion; Ironsmith, Marsha
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education, v13 n3 2021
Undergraduate students tutored elementary school children applying Dweck's growth mindset model, while a concurrent class implemented an evaluation of the program. Tutors encouraged children to adopt a growth mindset while helping with homework, especially in mathematics. Research students designed and conducted pre- and post-interviews to assess children's beliefs about mathematics achievement and growth mindset. We describe these complementary service-learning courses and offer recommendations for improving interventions and assessment in a service-learning context.
