Growth Mindset, Grit & Self-Efficacy:
Research Findings & Practical Applications
.
As research evidence continues to emerge on grit, resilience, growth mindset, and self-efficacy,
it's increasingly important to separate fact from fiction about what we know and don't know
about non-cognitive skills, as well as the boundary conditions of their impact on student success.
Student success professionals need to know how they can apply the research to-date to their
particular institutions and student populations to avoid over-promising or underestimating the
role of non-cognitive skills. From this webinar, participants will develop a solid understanding of
both the research findings to date about non-cognitive skills, as well as a conceptual framework
and process to use those findings to draw up and evaluate programs on their campuses.
