b"DEVELOPMENT OF GROWTH MINDSET RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS & PARENTSFaith Lim, Jasmine Ho, Leonard Ng, Lynn ZuhrahIntroductionEducation plays an integral part in a childs development. Given the various stressors that a child faces, there has been a growing emphasis to teach children proper coping methods. One such way is to teach children to work on their mindset. As such, this project is done in collaboration with the National Healthcare Group (NHG) to help cultivate a growth mindset in lower primary children. In this project, we developed materials for NHG. Growth mindset (GMS) is the belief that intelligence can be developed over time through consistent efforts. It is where one believes that he/she can improve and do better. Studies have shown that with a growth mindset, both academic achievement and mental health can be significantly improved. Besides that, teachers and parents are often seen as role models and play an essential role in shaping a childs development. As such, to cultivate a growth mindset into lower primary children, the project aims to create materials that will aid teachers and parents in promoting a growth mindset in school and at home.MethodologyInitially, to get a better grasp of how our growth mindset materials could look like, we looked at past projects and their developed materials. These projects gave us a better idea of what we could do and from there, we could adapt the essential concepts into our own materials. Apart from past projects, to better understand how teachers and parents interact with lower primary children both in school and at home, we started by drafting up two sets of interview questions, one for teachers and one for parents. These interview questions asked about the interactions, challenges and the individuals knowledge regarding growth mindset. After the interview questions were finalised, we recruited six teachers and six parents, with there being an equal number of males and females in each group. These interviews helped to provide us with the information that we needed in order to start creating our growth mindset materials.FindingsTeachers Parents Do not have much free time with the Have the most interaction with their children students as they have to spend time finishingon weekdays after work and on the the syllabus. weekends.
