Subclaims¶

q3 i? No statistically significant relationships between teachers' growth mindset and performance-approach goals (r = .033, p = .084), performance-avoidance goals (r = .077, p = .074), teachers' achievement (r = .013, p = .852), or student achievement (r = -.024, p = .309). → 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 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Two-level random-effects meta-analyses across separate outcome categories (k = 6–10 per outcome, N = 756–3,182). All five correlations were trivial and non-significant, including student achievement (k = 10, N = 756, r = -.024). No effect sizes beyond the correlations themselves are printed.

"The relationships between teachers' growth mindset and performance-approach goals (r = .033, p = .084), performance-avoidance goals (r = .077, p = .074), performance-approach goal structures (r = .014, p = .717), teachers' achievement (r = .013, p = .852), and student achievement (r = -.024, p = .309) were trivial in strength and not statistically significant."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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