Promoting a growth mindset within educational environments can significantly enhance academic outcomes. Research underscores the relationship between grit and academic success, suggesting that students who exhibit perseverance tend to perform better in subjects like reading, mathematics, and writing.
There is a need to study growth mindset in the Chemistry classrooms and how to integrate growth mindset with the newest science standards and teaching models, including the Next Generation Science Standards, 5E learning cycle, and 3-course model.
