  1. Learning to fail for success: developing students’ Mindful Mindsetsto promote resilience, tenacity and effective learning Dr Udaramati Melanie Pope and Dr Lindsay Davies Centre for Professional Learning and Development NTU

  2. Workshop outcomes By the end of this session you will have had the opportunity to: • Experienced and discuss the theory of Mindful Mindsets (Mind2) • Examine the principles of Dweck’s Mindset theory • Explore some of your learners’ Mindsets within your discipline/context • Identify ways of supporting mindset awareness to actively encourage your learners to develop more of a Growth Mindset

  3. Growth Mindsets What do we know about them already?

  4. Dweck on the benefits of a Growth Mindset https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arCdzdBhCcc

  5. Let’s get into the ‘learning moment’… • Watch the video clip • Working in pairs, take it in turn to copy the activity using your hands on a flat surface • Build up as much speed as possible • We’ll be coming round to observe and mark each of you for speed and accuracy • https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oQIf5gObYLE

  6. Engaging with a Mindful Mindset Stop! Scan - your body, emotions & thoughts Hold- your reactions, be with them

  7. How did that learning activity feel? Capture your reactions to this learning activity using the Mindset Reactionnaire • How did you find that activity? • Which of the statements reflect your approach and reactions to the task? • Do any of these surprise you?

  8. How do Mindsets appear in your learners’ behaviour?

  9. Planning for points of practice: a cycle of active learning, assessment and feedback for a Growth Mindset Use feedback to reflect on what was learned from errors Active learning in the teaching session Formative assessment in the session/immediately after/after practice Summative assessment improved outcomes More effective learning processes to take forward into next stage of learning Teacher: reminders that it takes practice/you can develop some more Student: What do I understand now? What don’t I understand YET? Identify steps for practice More opportunities to practice and get feedback, x∞

  10. Activity 3: Encouraging a Growth Mindset through supported ‘failure’ • How would you create specific, supported opportunities for learners to fail throughout the learning process? • Use the Planned Points of Practice (P3) approach to: • identify formative assessment points • show how you could support your learners in engaging with ‘failure’

  11. Let’s get back into the ‘learning moment’… • Watch the refresher • Working in pairs, take it in turn to copy the activity using your hands on a flat surface • Build up as much speed as possible

  12. Stop! Scan - your body, emotions & thoughts Hold- your reactions, be with them Relax - your body Change - your reactions: body, emotions & thoughts

  13. Feedback… • Give each other feedback on your paradiddles • Think about qualities such as speed and accuracy

  14. How did that learning activity feel this time? Capture your reactions to this learning activity using the Mindset Reactionnaire How did you find that activity? Which of the statements reflect your approach and reactions to the task this time? Has anything changed?

  15. The Mindful Mindset • Supports the development of Growth Mindsets • Should be used alongside an active learning approach • Applies to any instance of learning • Incorporates mindfulness activities: Stop, Scan, Hold, Relax, Change

  16. The Mindful Mindset: Theory • Role of awareness • Learning is a whole person process • Learning is a relational process • We can empower ourselves to have a choice • M2 is a practice • M2 is an authentic practice – you have to model it!

  17. Workshop outcomes revisited By the end of this session you will have had the opportunity to: • Experienced and discuss the theory of Mindful Mindsets (M2) • Examine the principles of Dweck’s Mindset theory • Explore some of your learners’ Mindsets within your discipline/context • Identify ways of supporting mindset awareness to actively encourage your learners to develop more of a Growth Mindset • Perform a paradiddle

  18. So what has this got to do with ‘Teaching Excellence?’

  19. Developing a community of practice • What will you do to take this work forward? • Will you share it with us? • Join us for our Mindset Symposium on 12th December 1-4pm at Nottingham Trent University Please come and talk to us throughout the conference, we want to continue to develop learner Mindsets through this work!
