Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

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 = 7 effect sizes (N = 3,182) for mastery-approach goals. The pooled correlation was "r = .148, p < .001" with I² < 0.01, aligned with Dweck's theoretical premise that growth mindsets orient individuals toward mastery goals.

"mastery-approach goals (r = .148, p < .001)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Teachers' growth mindset is associated with mastery goal structures but not performance goal structures — a broader claim this one bears on
Teachers' growth mindset shows a small positive overall association with combined teacher, instructional, and student outcomes (r = .111) — a broader claim this one bears on
Teachers' growth mindset is positively associated with their self-efficacy (r = .180) — related
