“…Future work can focus on incorporation of interventions for teachers and students in high school mathematics. Research at the K-8 level has suggested that mindset interventions paired with challenging, open-ended collaborative STEM activities helps students to internalize their growth mindsets in the context of their subject specific learning (Dringenberg et al, 2020;Vongkulluksn et al, 2021). It has been suggested that the messages that teachers convey to students and how they teach the content may be more impactful on students' mindset orientations than any growth mindset program (Schmidt et al, 2017).…”

Growth mindset has received more focus in schools in the past fifteen years as a possible way to improve various educational outcomes. There are important possible benefits if students believe in the malleability of intelligence and the potential to improve in ability and various human qualities. Students with growth mindsets set self-improvement as achievement goals, use all of their resources, seek feedback, attribute failure to something that is under their control, and work harder when faced with setbacks. For mathematics, these beliefs and outcomes of a growth mindset are especially important as students may view mathematics as too difficult and a barrier or detterent to a possible career. The notion that only some students can do well in mathematics is important to counter. The purpose of this article to review the research on growth mindset in high school mathematics education since 2007. Directions for future research are discussed including the importance of teachers in growth mindset interventions and students developing growth mindsets through having successful mathematics learning experiences.

“…The second study that involved middle school students also occurred in an out of school setting at a STEM summer camp for middle school girls. The study investigated the impact of a one-hour session on growth mindset during the three-day STEM camp (Dringenberg et al, 2020). During the one-hour intervention students reflected on the question if some people are just better at mathematics and science than others; as well as who can be successful in STEM.…”

“…The researchers stated that it would not be certain if this same intervention would have had an impact on students who generally had fixed mindsets or who did not self-select to attend the STEM camp. They also mentioned that incorporating more of an engineering focus in the camp may have more of an impact on students' mindsets (Dringenberg et al, 2020).…”

“…-A mindset intervention paired with STEM activities can be beneficial to aligning students' mindsets with a growth mindset. The intervention can include reflection and discussion about the neuroplasticity of the brain and that success in STEM is not just based on innate ability (Dringenberg et al, 2020).…”

Background: Positionality captures how the researcher is positioned, personally, socially, and politically, in relation to the study's context. A researcher's positionality influences each step of the project, which makes it a critical component to make visible in publications. Purpose: The purpose of this research article is to explore current considerations of positionality in engineering education research by highlighting example statements across journals and modes of inquiry. We considered qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches to engaging with questions of interest to the field. Design/Method: We surveyed three journals in the field of engineering education:
