New research funded by the National Science Foundation finds that online intervention taking less than 30 minutes significantly increases interest in computer science for both male and female undergraduate students.
"Our focus was on determining how and whether a 'growth mindset' intervention would affect student interest and performance in computer science," says Jeni Burnette, first author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of psychology at North Carolina State University, which conducted the study.
"We knew from previous work in other contexts that a growth mindset -- the belief that human attributes are malleable -- can have significant consequences for self-regulation and goal achievement," Burnette says.
