Abstract

Background: Growth mindset is an important aspect for achieving positive psychological states and improving learning success for students. However, traditional growth mindset interventions are time-consuming, and we thus need to look to simpler and more efficient intervention designs.

Purpose: This study attempts to measure the efficacy of a media-inspired growth mindset intervention for improving students' final project completion.

Method: A between-subjects design using a randomized pretest-posttest paradigm was employed, with 30 participants in group 1 (video media) and 30 in group 2 (infographics). Five participants from group 1 were disqualified as they did not complete the intervention. The growth mindset scale and indicators of thesis completion were used as measures. Means were compared using t-tests.

Findings: There was a significant improvement of post-test over pre-test scores of all 3 variables. Both the video and the infographic created significant between-test differences of pre- and post-test scores. Thesis accomplishment 3 months after intervention also indicated a significant and stronger improvement, where students got their thesis done despite initial lag in progress.

Implication: The intervention provides a viable solution for universities seeking to assist struggling students or successfully motivate students to graduate early.
