Learning Context Designer, Engineer, Architect, and Implementer: Designs the ‘‘Space’’ to Optimize Growth Mindset

View a recording

Medical educators are increasingly expected to design, develop and evaluation learning contexts that support a growth mindset. This session will scrutinize related terms–contexts, culture, climate, environment–and highlight the assumptions that underlie each terms and implications for designing, developing and evaluating the "space" in which learning happens. After comparing orientations toward learning (progress and growth versus performance), participants will identify strategies to design, develop and evaluate their own learning contexts in ways that optimize a growth mindset.
