Consider another example from the same dataset in which high school students» cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) are related to their scores
on Panorama's
Growth Mindset scale, which measures how
much students believe they can change their intelligence, behavior, and other factors central to their school performance.
Much of the anxiety surrounding math comes directly from classrooms that don't actively advocate for a
growth mindset — a way of thinking that emphasizes effort and understanding concepts instead of focusing solely
on test scores and right answers.
