Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the introduction of Carol Dweck’s landmark work in mindset, many scholars have studied the impact of a change in mindset on learning, behavior and health. More recently, research has shown that widescale and lasting improvements in learning come about when mindset ideas are infused through teaching and assessing and are specific to the subject being learned.
This Special Issue seeks to showcase and disseminate the latest advances in research on a mathematical mindset approach. We invite submissions that investigate the impact of such approaches on teaching, learning and collaborative problem solving. Relevant contributions may explore, for example, how mindset can be embedded in instructional practices and task design; fostered through collaborative groupwork; developed via games and classroom activities or supported through curriculum development and school design.
Prof. Dr. Jo Boaler
