In the largest study of its kind, dozens of researchers set out to learn if a short, online intervention could foster a growth mindset in students, and whether it could positively impact academic achievement.

Lead author and University of Texas at Austin researcher David Yeager joins CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss the study, which involved 12,500 students at 65 schools across the U.S.

Yeager also discusses some noteworthy findings and key takeaways for policy, practice, and future research.
