Project GOLD: Conceptualizing 21st Century Learner Dispositions & Measuring Students’ Motivation to Acquire Them
Overview: Project GOLD is an HEHD attempt to measure students’ motivations to acquire a set of desirable, 21st-century learner dispositions. This presentation includes an overview of those dispositions, including how they were identified, defined, and conceptualized for the purpose of research and assessment. Also to be presented are the procedures and results of 11 pilot studies that guided the development of a scale that measures the extent to which students have a “mastery oriented mindset” with respect to each of the five general dispositions. Finally, results from recent studies of the alpha and beta versions of the final scale will be discussed.
Coffee and Conversation About Research has been designed to provide an opportunity for HEHD faculty, staff, and students to talk about their research and scholarship. Faculty, staff, and students in other colleges who may be interested are encouraged to attend. The informal presentation format is open for dialogue with and among those attending the session.
