Abstract

Mounting evidence that growth mindset-the belief that intelligence is not fixed and can be developed-improves educational outcomes has spurred additional interest in how to measure and promote it in other contexts. Most of this research, however, focuses on high-income countries, where the most common protocols for measuring and intervening on student mindsets rely on connected devices-often unavailable in low- and middle-income countries' schools. This paper develops a toolkit to measure student mindsets in resource-constrained settings, specifically in the context of Brazilian secondary public schools. Concretely, we convert the computer-based survey instruments into text messages (SMS). Collecting mindset survey data from 3570 students in São Paulo State as schools gradually reopened in early 2021, we validate our methodology by matching key patterns in our data to previous findings in the literature. We also train a machine learning model on our data and show that it can (1) accurately classify students' SMS responses, (2) accurately classify student mindsets even based on text written in other media, and (3) rate the fidelity of different interventions to the published growth mindset curricula.

在资源有限的情况下大规模衡量学生的心态:在大流行病期间应用于巴西的工具包。
越来越多的证据表明,成长型思维模式--相信智力不是固定不变的,是可以发展的--可以改善教育成果,这激发了人们对如何在其他情况下衡量和促进成长型思维模式的更多兴趣。然而,这些研究大多集中在高收入国家,而在这些国家,测量和干预学生心态的最常见方案依赖于联网设备,而中低收入国家的学校往往没有联网设备。本文开发了一个工具包,用于在资源有限的环境中测量学生的心态,特别是在巴西公立中学的背景下。具体而言,我们将基于计算机的调查工具转换为短信(SMS)。随着学校在 2021 年初逐步重新开学,我们收集了圣保罗州 3570 名学生的心态调查数据,并将数据中的关键模式与以往文献中的研究结果进行比对,从而验证了我们的方法。我们还在数据上训练了一个机器学习模型,结果表明该模型可以:(1)准确地对学生的短信回复进行分类;(2)即使基于其他媒体上的文字也能准确地对学生的心态进行分类;以及(3)对不同干预措施与已发布的成长心态课程的忠实度进行评级。

期刊介绍: Multidisciplinary and international in scope, the Journal of Research on Adolescence (JRA) significantly advances knowledge in the field of adolescent research. Employing a diverse array of methodologies, this compelling journal publishes original research and integrative reviews of the highest level of scholarship. Featured studies include both quantitative and qualitative methodologies applied to cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development and behavior. Articles pertinent to the variety of developmental patterns inherent throughout adolescence are featured, including cross-national and cross-cultural studies. Attention is given to normative patterns of behavior as well as individual differences rooted in personal or social and cultural factors.
