Additional information
<32> 'Mindset' is the result of an educationally transformative 20yr research programme by Stanford's Carol Dweck. The experiment reported here is the first ever successful application of the 'mindset' concept to CS education. The innovation is to produce a significant increase in student performance via a rigorous experiment in a mainstream CS class, not via an artificial lab-based experiment. The results of this paper are being used to influence the practice of over 700 CS teachers in Scotland and also in the major 'CE-21' CS education programme in the US. SIGCSE is the major North American CS education conference.
