“…We provide in Figure 1 a map of what we mean, as the result of our literature research, for "promotion of student learning" in our whole research. It is worth noting that among the most investigated features in the literature, there are perception of self-efficacy, well-being in learning, metacognition and growth mindset [27][28][29][30][31].…”

In this paper we discuss some aspects of the design of a teaching/learning sequence (TLS) on surface phenomena for high school students, inspired by the ideas proposed by inquiry and investigative based learning approaches. A good understanding of surface phenomena is relevant in Physics and other scientific and technical fields. This, and the acknowledgement that traditional teaching methods used to introduce the basic concepts related to this topic have often proved to be not very effective in captivating students’ interest and in favoring authentic understanding of the related physical content drove us in choosing this physics topic. Furthermore, some considerations on a case study on the efficacy of the TLS on the development of a growth mindset are reported.

“…In my prior work Stohlmann reviewed articles on growth mindset in K-8 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) Education, science education, and mathematics education. In terms of mathematics education studies, there were seven, with five involving middle school students and two with elementary students (Stohlmann, 2022). Compared to the other four areas of STEM, mathematics is a subject that students are less likely to enjoy (Christensen & Knezek, 2020) and they are less likely to endorse a growth mindset for mathematics (Ahn et al, 2016).…”

Growth mindset has received more focus in schools in the past fifteen years as a possible way to improve various educational outcomes. There are important possible benefits if students believe in the malleability of intelligence and the potential to improve in ability and various human qualities. Students with growth mindsets set self-improvement as achievement goals, use all of their resources, seek feedback, attribute failure to something that is under their control, and work harder when faced with setbacks. For mathematics, these beliefs and outcomes of a growth mindset are especially important as students may view mathematics as too difficult and a barrier or detterent to a possible career. The notion that only some students can do well in mathematics is important to counter. The purpose of this article to review the research on growth mindset in high school mathematics education since 2007. Directions for future research are discussed including the importance of teachers in growth mindset interventions and students developing growth mindsets through having successful mathematics learning experiences.

“…2. Literature Review (Stohlmann, 2022) In the last fteen years, growth mindset has drawn increased attention in schools as a potential means of enhancing a range of academic achievements. It's crucial to support students in developing a belief in the adaptability of intelligence, the possibility of skill improvement, and other human attributes.…”

Students with learning disabilities have increased continuously from last few decades’ due to this threat of emerging academic, social, and psychological issues increased automatically. Students who have a fixed mindset that their qualities are fixed, whereas those who have a growth mindset that their qualities are flexible. The current applied research investigated Pakistan's Superior University the efficiency of a Growth Mindset intervention based on (Dweck, Chiu, & Hong, 1995) theory. Through project-based learning, this study indicates to determine how an intelligence scale and learning disabilities affect students' growth mindsets. Results of Before Intervention Test (BIT) were ineffective, so an After Intervention Test (AIT) was implemented through a project-based learning activity, and significant results were discovered. The validity and reliability tests were employed in this work to support the analysis of multiple linear regression. The findings of this study indicate that student growth attitude is highly influenced by both learning disability (X2) and IQ scale (X1), as well as by all other variables taken together. If researchers, administrators, teachers, and other people have a better knowledge of the mindsets of students with learning disabilities, they will be better able to develop effective solutions.
