Description¶
A researcher-designed training program delivered through an obligatory "Teaching Thinking" faculty course, using "interactive training that largely depend on brainstorming, discussion, dialogue, team work, streaming of and illustrative movies." It targeted six non-cognitive skills: locus of control, planning, empathy, self-confidence, growth mindset, and grit. Students worked individually or in groups, concepts were introduced via short films and planned activities, there were no textbooks, and assessment used practical interactive projects rather than pen-and-paper exams.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Delivered through interactive activities performed individually or in groups, with concepts presented via short films or planned activities
Constraints¶
- The article reports the program did not significantly develop planning, locus of control, or self-confidence
Target Learners¶
- University of Petra undergraduates in the Faculty of Arts
Learning Goals¶
- Locus of control
- planning and goal setting
- empathy
- self-confidence
- growth mindset
- grit
Claims¶
- An interactive training program produced statistically significant differences among three teaching methods on overall non-cognitive skills and on empathy, growth mindset and grit; post hoc tests found it beat traditional teaching, and the article does not report its comparison with a no-training control [~M]
- Program Failed Planning Locus Self Confidence [~M]
