Abstract

This research aims to create an online training program for teachers that helps foster a growth mindset in their students. The main goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of this program using a research and development method. The training program consists of two projects. The first project helps teachers understand a growth mindset and why it is essential for students. It includes training modules that explain the theory behind the growth mindset and effective ways to encourage it in students. The second project gives teachers practical skills to apply this knowledge in the classroom. It includes hands-on activities, case studies, and real-life scenarios to help teachers use their knowledge. To measure the program’s effectiveness, the researchers used an experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest method at a randomly chosen school. The experimental group included 18 teachers and a selected number of students. Before the program started, teachers and students took pretests to gauge their initial understanding and attitudes toward growth mindsets. The findings showed that the online training program successfully met the goals outlined in the research. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in teachers’ understanding of growth mindset concepts and positive student attitudes and engagement changes. These results indicate that the program could be widely used in schools nationwide, helping to create a growth mindset culture in education. This initiative supports the professional growth of teachers and enables them to impact their students’ learning experiences positively.
