Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Dweck's growth mindset model explains perceptions of intelligence and academic ability.
  • This model has a proven 30-year track record of enhancing student academic success across various disciplines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Dweck's growth mindset model to prelicensure nursing education.
  • To explore the implications of growth vs. fixed mindsets on learning within nursing education.
  • To provide strategies for cultivating a growth mindset in nursing students.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual analysis of Dweck's growth mindset model.
  • Discussion of the dichotomy between fixed and growth mindsets.
  • Proposal of practical applications for nursing education.

Main Results:

  • The growth mindset model posits that intelligence is malleable, fostering a love of learning.
  • A fixed mindset, conversely, views intelligence as static, potentially hindering academic progress.
  • Understanding these differences is crucial for educators.

Conclusions:

  • The growth mindset model has significant, yet unexplored, potential for nursing education.
  • Further research into integrating this model may yield substantial academic benefits for nursing students.
  • Cultivating a growth mindset can foster resilience and a lifelong learning orientation in future nurses.
