摘要

学生对自己能力的信念(称为“外行理论”)会影响他们的动机、行为和学业成功。外行理论包括关于提高智力的潜力(心态)、谁(即每个人或只有一些人)有潜力在某个领域表现出色(普遍性),以及在某一领域达到卓越是否需要原始的智力天赋(才华)的信念。研究表明,这些信念中的每一个都会影响学生的教育经历和学业成绩。然而,目前尚不清楚它们是代表不同的潜在结构,还是容易受到“jangle谬论”的影响(即,给同一个潜在结构起不同的名字)。我们进行了一项多阶段的混合方法研究,以1)评估心态、普遍性和才华信念是否代表了概念上和经验上可区分的概念,以及2)评估心态和普遍性以及才华信念是否对心理社会(如归属感)和学术成果(如课程成绩)都有独特的解释价值。为了解决这些问题,我们开发并收集了一项新的科学和数学本科生业余理论测量的有效性证据,称为大学生业余能力理论(ULTrA)调查。因子分析表明,心态、才华和普遍性是不同的、可凭经验区分的结构。结构方程模型表明,每个lay理论对相关结果都有独特的预测价值。

Undergraduate Lay Theories of Abilities: Mindset, universality, and brilliance beliefs uniquely predict undergraduate educational outcomes.

Students' beliefs about their abilities (called "lay theories") affect their motivations, behaviors, and academic success. Lay theories include beliefs about the potential to improve intelligence (mindset), who (i.e., everyone or only some people) has the potential to be excellent in a field (universality), and whether reaching excellence in a field requires raw intellectual talent (brilliance). Research demonstrates that each of these beliefs influences students' educational experiences and academic outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether they represent distinct latent constructs or are susceptible to the "jangle fallacy" (i.e., different names given to the same underlying construct). We conducted a multiphase, mixed-methods study to 1) evaluate whether mindset, universality, and brilliance beliefs represent conceptually and empirically discriminable concepts, and 2) evaluate whether mindset, universality, and brilliance beliefs contribute unique explanatory value for both psychosocial (e.g., sense of belonging) and academic outcomes (e.g., course grades). To address these questions, we developed and collected validity evidence for a new measure of science and math undergraduates' lay theories, called the Undergraduate Lay Theories of Abilities (ULTrA) survey. Factor analyses suggest that mindset, brilliance, and universality are distinct and empirically discriminable constructs. Structural Equation Models indicate that each lay theory contributes unique predictive value to relevant outcomes.

期刊介绍: CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE), a free, online quarterly journal, is published by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). The journal was launched in spring 2002 as Cell Biology Education—A Journal of Life Science Education. The ASCB changed the name of the journal in spring 2006 to better reflect the breadth of its readership and the scope of its submissions. LSE publishes peer-reviewed articles on life science education at the K–12, undergraduate, and graduate levels. The ASCB believes that learning in biology encompasses diverse fields, including math, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, and the interdisciplinary intersections of biology with these fields. Within biology, LSE focuses on how students are introduced to the study of life sciences, as well as approaches in cell biology, developmental biology, neuroscience, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and proteomics.
