The presentation will briefly talk about the aspects of Growth Mindset (GM) theory and discuss its importance during distance education. The presentation will also focus on how we could employ GM notions in distance teaching and learning. The main idea of the presentation is to encourage educators to see distance learning as an opportunity, not a setback

Case Study of the University of Targu Mures

Knowledge and technology transfer has never been greater than it is nowadays. Companies, universities and research and technology organizations understand that performance depends upon collaborating with each other, in ways that support and reinforce their complementary missions. By now, the working practices and professional skills required for effective knowledge transfer are widely known and well documented. It is essential that university students are able to recognize new situations in the aftermath of their university education as learning experiences and opportunities for growth, based on forms and principles of growth mindset.

A professional development course for university educators aimed at the development of a growth mindset of students was created and piloted during the project. The course is aimed at developing growth mindset teaching competence, leaning on a proposed 5 part model. The five parts of the model represent 5 different areas of growth mindset teaching: the nature of brains and intelligence, growth mindset language, growth mindset tasks, growth mindset assessment, and growth mindset reflection. We will present the curriculum and different training modules which are based on the parts of the model, the additional self-directed activities and share evaluation results from different piloting groups.

A webinar on the topic of a growth mindset for students will be presented, together with needed materials for the implementation of it. The materials of the webinar are available in various languages, not only in English. Teachers can easily present the webinar to their students, to introduce them the basics of a growth mindset theory. The webinar consists of short theoretical introduction, followed by some practical exercises for the students. The contents can be simply adjusted to specific target group of students. Aside from hearing how to conduct a growth mindset webinar for students, participants of the conference will also get in touch with the main concepts of the growth mindset theory.

Dealing with mindsets is important since the view a person holds about themselves profoundly affects their life. Carol Dweck distinguished between two contrary beliefs: fixed mindset and growth mindset. Empirical evidence suggests that holding a growth mindset, that is believing that failure and mistakes are part of the learning process and talents and abilities can be developed through effort and persistence, is positively associated with higher achievement, which implicates the need to foster a growth mindset in teachers and students. As part of the ERASMUS+ project GrowthMinds, we created an open-access compendium with the aim to promote the concept of a growth mindset as an evidence-based teaching concept that improves the quality of teaching. We hope to inspire educators to try out and incorporate growth mindset-based teaching activities in their teaching practice. This compendium includes growth mindset indicators that capture what growth mindset teaching is about as well as the theories they are based on, a collection of concrete teaching examples from different disciplines and different countries with diverse backgrounds, growth mindset information sheets that concisely summarize the most important aspects of growth mindset, and project partners’ experiences and reflections on growth mindset.
