Dataset for examining the role of mindset-relevant teaching practices in the mindset effect

Data for the mindset-relevant teaching practices study were extracted from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 dataset which is accessible on the website of the OECD (URL: http://www.oecd.org/pisa/data/2018database/). This dataset includes information on 146,922 15-year-old medium-performing students from 67 countries and regions. We used the data to test two hypothesized models (i.e., the mediation model and the moderation model) in Mplus. The model results answered the question about how mindset-relevant teaching practices influence the relationship between students’ growth mindset and reading performance. We have found that mindset-relevant teaching practices moderate the relationship between students’ mindset and reading performance and the mindset effect is enhanced by growth-mindset-oriented teaching practices.

本项关于思维导向教学实践的研究数据提取自国际学生评估项目（Programme for International Student Assessment，PISA）2018年数据集，该数据集可通过经济合作与发展组织（Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development，OECD）官方网站获取（网址：http://www.oecd.org/pisa/data/2018database/）。该数据集涵盖来自67个国家及地区的146922名15岁中等学业表现学生的相关信息。本研究借助Mplus软件，基于上述数据对两项假设模型（即中介模型与调节模型）开展检验。模型检验结果回答了“思维导向教学实践如何影响学生成长型思维与阅读成绩之间的关联”这一研究问题。本研究发现，思维导向教学实践对学生思维模式与阅读成绩之间的关联具有调节作用，且成长型思维导向的教学实践能够强化思维模式效应。
