q3 i1 Teachers' growth mindset correlates positively with mastery goal structures (r = .137, p = .001) but not with performance goal structures (r = .014, p = .717). → Bardach 2024

Evidence¶

Bardach 2024¶

Bardach, L., Bostwick, K. C. P., Fütterer, T., Kopatz, M., Memarpour Hobbi, D., Klassen, R. M., & Pietschnig, J. (2024). A Meta-Analysis on Teachers' Growth Mindset. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09925-7

q3 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r3

Two-level random-effects meta-analysis of k = 8 effect sizes (N = 1,944) for mastery goal structures, the instructional-practices outcome. The pooled correlation was "r = .137, p = .001" with I² = 63.46%. The parallel performance goal structure analysis (k = 6, N = 900) yielded r = .014, p = .717, non-significant.

"mastery-approach goal structures (r = .137, p = .001)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Mindset — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
