| Popis: | We examined the relation between teachers’ beliefs about the nature of intelligence (their growth mindsets) and their treatment of high versus low ability students. Teachers with weaker growth mindsets reported being more likely to use restrictive instructional practices (controlling and performance-oriented) overall than teachers with stronger growth mindsets, and teachers were more likely to use restrictive practices when working with a low-ability student than when working with a high-ability student. By contrast, the hypothesized student ability level ́ teacher growth mindset ́ instructional practice type. A number of important potential limitations and their implications for future research on these relations are discussed. |
