“…This is only possible if you provide coherence, ensuring that every student has an opportunity to present the archived knowledge and check correct understanding. In addition, new information on the subject should be presented all the time during the lesson to support spontaneity [28,29].…”

The article outlines the personality of a student as the single channel through which knowledge flows within the cognitive theory of “learning”. This sustainable process is the means of mediating the thought activity of an individual in a higher school. The study estimates personal qualities of a student through the capacity for self-organization, self-regulation, self-development, and realization of the self in the process of cognitive development. The aim is to show how the degree of these capabilities’ influences achieving the fourth goal, “Quality Education”, from the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations is determined. Participants were second year students (n = 120) of Naberezhnochelninsky Institute, the branch of Kazan Federal University. They were assigned to Experimental Groups following the “participation” pattern and Control Groups following the standard teaching methodology. The methodological structure presented is an important step towards putting “smart education” into practice. Attempts are made to show that subjective attitude on the part of the students is an indispensable condition for contribution to self-development as a multidimensional system having a complex structure. With respect to it, a multi-level system of estimation, considered in development with stability and variability (statics and dynamics) being joined dialectically (progress line and regression line), is designed. The obtained data provide evidence of the necessity for changing the basis of educational processes towards formation of subject’s capabilities while studying academic disciplines. This methodology provides for developing a selective approach to every student.

“…However, further studies have shown that grit is composed of two correlated factors. Consequently, two separate scores for PE and CI have been established and measured (e.g., Cormier et al, 2019; Feng & Rost, 2019; Fong & Kim, 2021; He, Wu et al, 2021; Hein et al, 2021; Karlen et al, 2019; Larkin et al, 2023; Muenks et al, 2018; Obermeier et al, 2023; Rhodes & Giovannetti, 2021; Rost & Feng, 2024; Sigurdson & Petersen, 2018; Soleimanzadeh et al, 2024;Tortul et al, 2020; Tyumeneva et al, 2019; Xu et al, 2020; Zhao & Wang, 2023).…”

The allegedly new volitional-motivational personality construct “grit” is seen as both theoretically and empirically relevant for a host of educational and life outcomes. In a recent debate, however, it has been argued that the construct should be considered as the amalgam of its two assumed subdimensions of Perseverance of Effort (PE) and Consistency of Interest (CI). Opponents of this argument note that the distinction between the two dimensions may merely be the result of different wording (positive and negative) in associated questionnaires. We systematically investigated this notion based on a sample of N = 881 high school students. Participants responded to one of four versions of the short grit scale (Grit-S) asking about their grit in math, foreign language English, and history. The items for PE and CI were each worded either positively or negatively, with all combinations realized. Our results support a strong wording effect but still support the notion of two correlated but distinguishable subdimensions. Finally, our results highlight the importance of differentiating between subjects when investigating grit.
