A Peer Tutor With a Partial Growth Mindset
Page: 1280
A mathematics peer tutor verbally expressed belief in a growth mindset, but also expressed beliefs that students who don't succeed are simply not putting in the effort. This poster reflects on the juxtaposition of these beliefs and their implications for helping students succeed in mathematics. Where does motivation come into play? Can students grow in motivation and academic skills just as we believe they can grow mathematically?
