Supporting students in their learning is important at any time but especially so during the Covid-19 pandemic. One way to help students feel supported is to encourage them to develop a growth mindset for their learning. In this paper, we present data collected during the Fall 2020 to Spring 2022 semesters from a general biochemistry course, where frequent short activities were completed to help students foster a growth mindset. Survey responses indicate that 73.6% of all students felt they had more of a growth mindset at the end of the course compared to only 29.6% of students knowing about growth mindset before the class. Further, the fact that the start of the semester activities were rated the most helpful by students shows a need for early, and even the first day of class, interventions on growth mindset.

成长心态作为大流行期间的学生支持工具

支持学生的学习在任何时候都很重要，尤其是在 Covid-19 大流行期间。帮助学生感受到支持的一种方法是鼓励他们为学习培养成长心态。在本文中，我们展示了 2020 年秋季至 2022 年春季学期从普通生物化学课程中收集的数据，其中完成了频繁的短期活动，以帮助学生培养成长心态。调查反馈表明，73.6% 的学生认为他们在课程结束时拥有更多的成长心态，而只有 29.6% 的学生在课前了解成长心态。此外，学生认为学期开始时的活动最有帮助这一事实表明，需要尽早甚至在上课的第一天对成长心态进行干预。
