In 1988 Dr. Dweck sparked interest in researching mindsets by showing that those who believe their abilities are malleable (i.e. have a “growth mindset”) are more likely to embrace challenges and persist despite failure than those who view their abilities as non-changeable (i.e. “fixed mindset”). Growth mindset (GM) students seek out better feedback, persist for longer, cope better with transitions and develop better self-regulation. GM reduces stress in students, promotes wellbeing and emotional functioning, improves self-esteem, learning orientation, reduces helplessness and is linked with grit and pro-social behaviours. Research supports the idea that educator mindsets may influence the way they respond to students, which in turn has an impact on the students’ outcomes.This project aims at developing GM by university level teaching personnel (university educators) and consequently their students. GM is an evidence-based teaching practice, which improves the quality of teaching regardless the level of education.The objectives of the project are to help:1.improve continuous in-service training opportunities for tertiary educators to build their competencies for developing a GM of their students;2.GM faculty classroom culture by increasing the number of educators using GM concept in their practice;3.availability of free hands-on creative and inspiring activities for GM for lecturing at the university level;4.increased self-efficacy by university educators’ regarding their impact on students and on society;5.increased self-efficacy by university students’ regarding their studies and knowing how to transfer their KSAO to employment.The project will directly include university educators and university students as main target groups. Multiplier events will be aimed at teaching personnel (220 participants), webinars will be held for students (as this will be a widely disseminated online content, the number of participants is not known, but will exceed 300). Short-term joint staff training events will be held for around 50 participants. The developed materials will be disseminated for free in five languages, thus additionally reaching a large number of teachers and students. Students will also be indirectly included in activities when teachers-participants of events will carry out new methods.Stakeholders to whom we will disseminate the project results will be indirectly included, e.g. policy makers, NGOs, education associations, education institutes.Our activities:•four intellectual outputs (IO) with a focus on easily available and practice-driven evidence based lecturing methods (a digital collection of tools for educators, a continuous professional development course for tertiary educators, a best practice compendium and GM webinars for students).•Four short-term joint staff training events for project partners (GM tools in motivating students, How to develop a GM in distance teaching, GM and university - industry knowledge transfer and GM in university lecturing).•Four multiplier events titled “GM in university teaching” (one per country).•Two transnational project meetings (kick-off/closing meeting).The methodology used will adapt to each activity and will include all/some of the following: needs outlining; review of literature …; content development and testing; data collection; implementation; content finalization; translations; evaluation; dissemination. In activities we will use flipped and experiential learning, hosting and design thinking methods, blended approaches to learning and other student-centred methods.Project management methodology will be used to ensure a smooth implementation of the project, also using online cooperation and communication tools.Together with the four IO, the tangible project results include more opportunities for continuous professional development; content in 5 languages; new pilot courses; an e-learning platform; educational and promotional materials (e.g. presentations, articles, social media posts, infographics); evaluation reports. Some of the intangible results are an increased quality of teaching, transnational learning/exchange of best practices and collaboration on the project; an increased capacity of project participants to operate in an international environment; international information, guidance, coaching/counselling activities; learning from real life cases; cross-sectoral cooperation (NGOs and universities).Long term benefits and sustainability of the include: the developed IO and content will be publicly available online in five languages, ensuring that interested parties can access them after the project ends. Developed courses and workshops can be carried out in the future, reaching a larger number of teachers and students. Teachers that will be involved in the project will continue to use their gained knowledge for future generations of students, reaching hundreds of students in each country and extending the GM.
