Overview

Randomized trial examines growth mindset effects on academic engagement in non-English majors, suggesting enhanced motivation.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate the impact of a growth mindset intervention on non-English majors' L2 motivational self system and academic engagement.
  • Quasi-experimental design with cluster randomization assigned 120 first-year undergraduates to experimental (n=60) and control groups (n=60).
  • The experimental group underwent a 12-week growth mindset intervention integrated into regular English instruction.
  • Measurements included growth mindset, L2MSS components, and academic engagement dimensions at three time points (T1, T2, T3).
  • Significant Group × Time interactions for all three L2MSS components and engagement dimensions were observed.
  • The growth mindset intervention resulted in a total indirect effect of β = 0.665 on engagement with 95% CI [0.521, 0.821].
  • The ideal L2 self accounted for approximately 51% of the total intervention effect on engagement.
