Students explore the concept of a growth mindset through readings and videos. They write annotate texts, discuss, write reflections, create graphics as they explore and examine the topic. Finally they form and express their own voice in an essay.

Thank you for visiting our Tennessee Board of Regents OER Grant English 1020: Introduction to Literature course. The pilot launched in spring 2023. This Walters State Community College composition course focuses on reading and analyzing poetry, drama, and short stories. The course has been designed with Quality Matters standards, Universal Design for Learning concepts, Growth Mindset fundamentals, and Lumen Circles concepts.     

This resource contains an overview of the resource and printable forms for student self-reflection and goal-setting, including "Yet" and "Glows & Grows."

Students enter our math classrooms with anxiety about performance, misconceptions about what math is, and a lack of confidence that can limit their ability to have meaningful learning experiences. In response to this challenge, Stanford researcher Jo Boaler has focused on some key tenants to help students transform their mindset to find more success with math teaching and learning. Some of these mindset shifts include recognizing that: (1) anyone can learn math, (2) making mistakes is essential to learning, (3) math is about fluency and not speed, (4) math is visual, (5) being successful in math requires creativity, flexibility, problem solving, and number sense.

In order to start building these mindsets, Boaler advocates, among other strategies, that students build a habit of being mathematical through common routines, tasks, and puzzles.

This guide will introduce 3 of those routines/puzzles including tips on how to successfully implement these tasks in a face to face, blended, or distance learning setting.

The Need
Many adult education students had difficult (and often negative) experiences with math teaching and learning during their time in the K-12 system. Without addressing their math trauma and helping them to build a mathematical mindset, our students may continue to struggle and be limited in their ability to succeed in math class, on the equivalency exam, and in college and career settings. So our program views math mindsets as the greatest challenge and largest opportunity for transforming the experience our students have when returning to school. Without this shift, we could share the best lesson plans, the most engaging OERs, and the most transformative teachers, and students will continue to be held back by self-limiting perceptions about math and about their ability to succeed.

Autoren: Daniel Schunk, Eva Berger, Henning Hermes, Kirsten Winkel, und Ernst Fehr.  Im Jahr 2022 haben wir eine Studie zum Lehren von Selbstregulation in Grundschulen in der Zeitschrift Nature Human Behaviour veröffentlicht. Die für die Studie entwickelten Unterrichtsmaterialien stellen wir hier als offene Bildungsmaterialien für die nichtkommerzielle Nutzung in Bildungseinrichtungen zur Verfügung. Mit der Veröffentlichung als OER möchten wir einen Beitrag leisten zu einem offenen Zugang zur Wissenschaft und zum Transfer zwischen Forschung und Schulpraxis.
