摘要:

培养成长型思维是国际经济合作和发展组织提升青少年核心素养的重要策略。然而,近年来的一些实证研究削弱甚至否定了该干预策略的正向推动作用,且该领域在东亚文化情境中缺乏本土化的干预实验证据。针对成长型思维理论的干预有效性质疑以及文化适应性争议,本研究对通用的成长型思维培养方案进行本土化改良,于2021~2024年在长三角地区的一所农村小学开展为期三年的随机干预实验与追踪调查,并采用倍差法来评估干预效果。研究发现,本土化的成长型思维培养方案显著提高了农村学生的成长型思维水平,并具有长期效应;干预对年龄越小或初始思维水平越低的学生效应越大;课程所带来的成长型思维的提升有效地改善了学生的学习行为,包括抑制消极学习动机、弱化能力型归因、提高过程型同伴反馈以及强化努力型归因。基于本研究的结果,学校、家庭和社会应当通力合作,共创成长型教育文化环境,强化成长型育人理念,尽早且持续地对处境不利学生进行成长型思维的培养,通过心理资本培育实现学业差距弥合与教育公平推进。

Abstract:

Cultivating growth mindset is an important strategy for the International Economic Cooperation and Development Organization to enhance the core competencies of adolescents. However, recent empirical studies have weakened or even reversed the positive driving force of growth mindset cultivation, and there is a lack of empirical evidence from East Asia. Addressing the debate of effectiveness of growth mindset intervention and its cross-cultural applicability, this study designed and implemented culturally adapted growth mindset intervention program to a randomized trial and three-year follow-up study at a rural primary school in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2021 to 2024, and used the Difference in Difference method to evaluate the intervention effect. The study found that the intervention program significantly improved the growth mindset level of rural students and had a long-term effect. The effect was more significant for younger students or those with lower initial mindset levels. Besides, the growth mindset enhancement brought about by the intervention effectively improved the students’ learning behavior, including suppressing negative learning motivation, weakening ability-based attribution, improving process-based peer feedback, and strengthening effort-based attribution. Accordingly, schools, families, and society should collaborate closely to jointly create a growth-oriented educational environment, strengthen growing educational principles, equip disadvantaged students with growth mindset as early and as sustained as possible, and bridge academic gaps while promoting educational equity through the development of psychological capital.

Key words: growth mindset, adolescents, intervention and follow-up, learning behavior
