This study explored the structural relationship among growth mindset, academic grit, and academic burnout. This study investigated the impact of Korean high school students' growth mindset on their academic burnout. Also, it is this study's contention that the effect of growth mindset on academic burnout can be changed when academic grit as a persistent enthusiasm and effort in their studies are mediating. The sample of this study comprised 573 Korean high school students (aged 17 years) in 2018. This study was designed as correlational research, and data analysis was conducted mainly using structural equation modelling. This study found that growth mindset may act as a diminishing factor for academic burnout. In addition, this study found that academic grit negatively mediated the relationship between growth mindset and academic burnout, implying that academic grit can play a determinant role as a positive psychological variable that could alleviate or prevent academic burnout. Thus, programming and counseling oriented toward fostering academic grit and coupled with growth mindset should be provided to lessen or prevent academic burnout. This study fills a void in the literature on academic grit and on growth mindset in targeting academic burnout among high school students preparing for college entrance examinations.

Background: Recently, competency-based education has been reorganized in the dental hygiene curriculum. In education, non-cognitive factors are emphasized. Grit, the non-cognitive ability to persevere to achieve an individual's long-term goals, is emerging. This study aims to identify the degree of grit and core competencies in students and to investigate the relationship between them and the factors that affect these core competencies. Methods: This study was conducted using 350 dental hygiene students who were randomly assigned a structured questionnaire to complete. The final analysis included 321 students. The survey contents evaluated grit, core competencies, and general characteristics. The difference in the degree of grit and core competencies in conjunction with the general characteristics of the subjects was analyzed using the t-test/Mann Whitney U-test and the ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis H test. Multiple regression analysis was then conducted to determine the factors affecting the core competencies of the subjects. Results: The difference of 'grit' according to general characteristics was statistically significant in 'major satisfaction', 'relationship', 'perceived academic achievement', 'grade point average (GPA)'. The difference in 'core competency' according to general characteristics was statistically significant in 'grade', 'department selection', 'major satisfaction', 'relationship', 'perceived academic achievement', 'GPA'. Among the sub-areas of 'grit', 'perseverance of effort' showed a high correlation with 'core competency' and was statistically significant. As a result of regression analysis, 'major satisfaction', 'perceived academic achievement' and 'grit' of dental hygiene students had a statistically significant influence on 'core competency'. Meanwhile, 'GPA' was not seen to be statistically significant in 'core competency'. Conclusion: Grit, a non-cognitive factor, had a statistically significant effect on core competency, while the effects on GPA, a cognitive factor, were not statistically significant. Among the sub-factors of grit, 'perseverance of effort' had a statistically significant effect on 'problem-solving competency' and 'academic competency', which are 'core competency' sub factors.

“…Second, while little research used nationally representative data to examine how noncognitive skills are distributed across different family SES groups, no studies have utilized repeated cross-sectional surveys to examine trends. Several studies relied on small local samples collected by researchers to examine specific non-cognitive measures (e.g., Lee and Kwon 2016;Lim, Hwang, and Ha 2016), but these small-scale studies offer little information as to a national pattern or a systematic cohort trend. The majority of prior studies employed structural approaches and longitudinal data in order to draw causal inferences (Kim et al 2019;Lee 2011;Lee and Kwon 2016;Lim et al 2016;Shin et al 2010).…”

We examined family SES inequalities in non-cognitive skills among young Korean adolescents. Using nationally representative data for 6th graders and 9th graders between 2004 and 2014 and school-fixed effects models, we showed how internal motivation, self-esteem, sociability, perseverance, and the composite score from those four indicators differ across students with varying family SES. Additionally, we examined how family SES gaps vary by grade and test score, as well as across the quantiles of non-cognitive skills. Our analyses uncover several significant new pieces of evidence regarding educational inequality. To begin, we find robust family SES inequalities across all non-cognitive outcomes regardless of model or sample specification. However, we find no discernible systematic trends in the decade following 2004. In terms of the role of academic performance, we find that academic performance partially but considerably explains family SES differences in non-cognitive outcomes. More than half of total family SES gaps persist among students with identical test scores. Additionally, we find evidence that academic performance significantly moderates family SES inequality in non-cognitive skills. Family SES gaps are greatest at the lowest scores and at the highest scores, implying that both compensatory and reinforcing family advantages are at play. For 9th graders, we find strong evidence that the correlation between non-cognitive skills and academic performance is unequally distributed across family SES groups and increases over time. Finally, we find that family SES disparities are greatest at the top of the non-cognitive score distribution, which is largely explained by the advantage of the top quartile SES families.
