Important Barrier

Does the mindset about fixed intelligence have an effect on inadequate reading self-concept? Recognition that students’ beliefs or perceptions about intelligence and ability affect their cognitive functioning and learning is amongst the top twenty psychological principles for teaching and learning of young people (APA, 2015). Research into these beliefs, which are named fixed versus growth mindset, suggests that a fixed mindset represents an important barrier to successful learning. In our paper, we use the PISA 2018 data to investigate the occurrence of a fixed mindset amongst Slovenian 15-year-olds, and, as a focus of the paper, the context that the mindset forms for the relationship between actual ability and self-concept. We address the question of whether there is a difference in reading self-concepts for students with similar reading literacy but different mindsets. We found that there are no gender differences in the proportion of students with fixed mindsets and, as expected, somewhat higher proportions of low-achieving students have fixed mindsets in comparisons with high-achieving students. Differences amongst reading self-concepts of boys and girls are well-known. Our analyses further revealed the within-gender differences in self-concepts between those with fixed and those with growth mindset; girls or boys with a growth mindset have, on average, higher reading literacy, higher self-concept and enjoy reading more than girls or boys with a fixed mindset. If these comparisons are further adjusted only to students with similarly low levels of reading literacy, we find that students with average-low reading literacy have a similar self-concept of reading competence regardless of their mindset, their perceptions of how many difficulties they have in reading in general and on the PISA reading test are, however, very different. While girls with average-low reading literacy and a growth mindset are perceived to have an average (within the group of average-low readers) amount of problems in both reading in general and in the PISA test, girls with average-low reading literacy and a fixed mindset are perceived to have more of such problems – despite being similarly successful on the PISA test. Boys with average-low reading literacy of both mindsets reported fewer difficulties in reading in general than girls – even though their reading achievements are similar. However, fewer problems on the PISA test were reported by boys with average-low reading literacy and a growth mindset, while those with a fixed mindset, interestingly, reported a similar amount of these problems as girls with average-low reading literacy and a growth mindset. The effects of a fixed mindset therefore seem to show in some cases in an inappropriate self-assessment of reading problems. Key words: Fixed and growth mindset, reading literacy, reading self-concept, PISA study

This paper aims to discuss: (1) the integration of moral values through folklore in narrative texts, (2) the implementation of the happy strategy in teaching and learning processes, and (3) the improvement of speaking skill and self concept. The integration of moral values in folklores as narrative texts can be done to fulfil the learning targets. It is because students will be supported to internalize and actualize those values in their life. Some moral values that can be stressed in the integration of folklores are how to be an honest one, confident, careful, communicative, and down to earth person. The Happy strategies are joyful learning activities that can support students in learning how to speak effectively. It is because learning experiences on how to speak and to communicate were framed fun and relax. The characteristic of the happy strategies included ice breaking, storytelling, role playing, self assessment, peer assessment, and selected report. The strategy also made students felt directly aware of their performance from the result of peer assessment. The teaching strategy that had been implemented in non formal education especially for packet B program was proven to be appropriated. Having been implemented the language input (moral values based on folklores) and the happy strategies, student’s linguistic competence, linguistics performance (speaking skill) were improved. Furthermore, student’s self concept also changed to be better. It is because they can learn some moral values from the folklores and strengthen them through the reflection session of the class.

Abstract Gendered occupational and educational choices have often been traced back to gender differences in students’ domain-specific ability self-concept and intrinsic motivation. This study explored the role of believing in an “innate” math or language arts ability (i.e., having a fixed mindset) for gender differences in students’ ability self-concept and intrinsic motivation in 423 female (49%) and 447 male (51%) tenth graders from Germany (age M = 16.09 years, SD = 0.68, range: 14–18 years). In line with math-male stereotypes, believing in “innate” math ability was associated with lower ability self-concept and intrinsic motivation in female but not male students. In language arts, students’ mindsets were unrelated to their motivation. The results suggest that a fixed mindset presents an additional burden for female students in math, but not for male or female students in language arts.

From the results of the analysis can be summarized as follows: 1) There is a significant relationship between self-concept of the Learning outcomes chemistry inquiry model. T test against self-concept variables (X1) obtained regression coefficient (B) 0.440 (44.0%), coefficient (Beta) 0.091, tcount of 0.378 with significance 0.006 t. Because of the significance of t less than 5% (0.007 <0.05), the Nil Hypothesis (H0) is rejected and working hypothesis (Hi) is received. 2) There is a significant relationship between self-efficacy toward chemistry Learning outcomes inquiry model. T test for Self-efficacy variable (X2) obtained regression coefficient (B) 0.329 (32.9%), coefficient (Beta) 0.124, tcount of 0.436 with a significance of 0.009 t. Because of the significance of t less than 5% (0.008 <0.05), the Nil Hypothesis (H0) is rejected and working hypothesis (Hi) is received. 3) There is a significant relationship between motivation to learn chemistry results inquiry model. T test for motivation variable (X3) obtained regression coefficient (B) 0.130 (13.0%), coefficient (Beta) 0.065, tcount of 0.230 with a significance of 0.001 t. Because of the significance of t less than 5% (0.001 <0.05), the Nil Hypothesis (H0) is rejected and working hypothesis (Hi) received 4) From the calculation results obtained Fhitung value 2,249 (significance F = 0.001).

Psychopathological Symptoms

The purpose of this study is two-fold: (a) to analyze self-concept, self-esteem, and psychopathological symptoms in individuals with and without intellectual disability; and (b) to explore whether there were gender differences in these same variables in both groups. The sample is made up of 170 participants aged 19 to 40, 128 without disability and 42 with intellectual disability. The methodology is descriptive. To measure the variables, three assessment instruments were applied: the “Listado de adjetivos para la evaluación del autoconcepto en adolescentes y adultos” (LAEA; Garaigordobil, in press), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE; Rosenberg, 1965), and the Revised Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90; Derogatis, 1983). The ANOVA showed that participants with intellectual disability scored significantly lower in self-concept and self-esteem, and higher in all the psychopathological symptoms except for somatization. The ANOVA did not reveal significant gender differences in any variables in either of the two groups.

And Performance

Purpose This paper aims to show that everything a business does is fundamentally reliant on its culture. Culture determines how successful a strategy is and whether that strategy can be executed. If the culture in a business is out of alignment, it is imperative to change it. This paper examines how HR professionals can take ownership of this cultural space and help to create a growth mindset throughout the organisation. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on experience gained through working with several large organisations to transform their people culture and performance by embracing a growth mindset and to help their HR leadership become the early champions of change, thus ensuring the process was successfully delivered. The paper includes case studies of two organisations where successful cultural shaping delivered improved results. Findings Companies with a growth mindset will outperform those with a fixed mindset. Changing mindsets is not overly complex, but it requires flawless implementation with the HR leaders at the forefront. Originality/value As Lou Gerstner, who turned around the computing giant IBM, said “I finally realised that culture is not part of the game, it is the game”. By understanding how individual mindsets impact culture, HR professionals can own and drive their organisation’s culture-shaping efforts.

Students With Ld

Growth and fixed mindset messaging is gaining popularity. In our pilot study, we examine the mindsets of students with learning disabilities (LD) to determine how their self-beliefs relate to this messaging. Our results demonstrate that students with LD endorse growth mindsets more than fixed mindsets which is consistent with their peers without LD. Moreover, in their comments about being a student with LD, participants highlight important components of growth mindset messaging. However, some comments may reflect a false-growth mindset wherein students are only focused on effort and not the additional resources required for growth. We provide directions for future research.

The responses of 268 Hong Kong and 399 Nigerian first- or second-year social science undergraduate university students to the Personal and Academic Self-Concept Inventory (PASCI; Fleming & Whalen, 1990) were compared to previously reported findings with similar groups of American and Nepalese students. Country × Gender analyses indicated clear, statistically significant mnain and interaction effects which varied according to the area of self-esteem under investigation. Support was found for the tendency found in research with secondary school students for subjects from non-Western cultures to report higher academic but lower nonacademic self-esteem than their Western peers. However, the gender differences did not generalize across cultures.
