    Growth Mindset Scholars: A Growth Mindset Community Intervention for a First-Year Experience

    Get PDF
    This thesis is concerned with how higher education has contributed to a rigid, inequitable view of intelligence that stifles education experiences for the sake of quick return on investment. Historically, this view of intelligence was used to justify slavery and other means of integrating people as human capital in society. I propose a one semester workshop intervention, based on Carol Dweck’s research into mindsets, for first-year students to increase the salience of growth mindsets in new students. Research suggests that growth mindsets will increase students’ resilience and adaptability when faced with adversity (Yeager & Dweck, 2012). Increasing growth mindsets may also mitigate multicultural student stressors, increase their connections with the university community, and help them persist until graduation (Kovach, 2018) (Broda et.al., 2018). This thesis outlines the learning goals and student first design for a successful growth mindset workshop including the incorporation of peer mentors and experiential learning to connect growth mindset broadly to first-year student life. Future application can focus on increasing the community engagement of the Growth Scholars Leaning Community in order to continue the work of changing higher education’s mindset on intelligence

    A workshop was convened by the FAA and NASA for the purpose of providing a forum at which leading designers, manufacturers, and users of helicopter simulators could initiate and participate in a development process that would facilitate the formulation of qualification standards by the regulatory agency. Formal papers were presented, special topics were discussed in breakout sessions, and a draft FAA advisory circular defining specifications for helicopter simulators was presented and discussed. A working group of volunteers was formed to work with the National Simulator Program Office to develop a final version of the circular. The workshop attracted 90 individuals from a constituency of simulator manufacturers, training organizations, the military, civil regulators, research scientists, and five foreign countries. A great amount of information was generated and recorded verbatim. This information is presented herein within the limits of accuracy inherent in recording, transcribing, and editing spoken technical material
