Mindset: Educational fact or fiction with Brooke Macnamara
b'
In this episode Dr Brooke Macnamara shares details of her research about mindset.\\xa0 Her research is a fascinating insight into the interventions around mindsets including growth mindset - a concept which I am sure you are familiar.\\xa0 If you, like me, have read Carol Dweck\\u2019s work it is compelling, but can we really change mindset?\\xa0 The concept itself is quite vague and is a belief or set of beliefs that then impact behaviour.\\xa0 The challenge for research is to show that we can firstly change the belief (and only the belief) and this will ultimately result in improved academic ourcomes.\\xa0 The interventions though rarely just focus on the beliefs as we shall hear.
