Abstract
This study aimed to establish growth mindset indicators and a growth mindset measurement scale for Thai children residing in the five provinces bordering the southern border. The research approach employed the mixed methodology consisting of the following five steps - Step 1: identifying indicators of a growth mindset, Step 2: examining the growth mindset indicators, Step 3: constructing the growth mindset assessment instrument and performing a secondary confirmatory component analysis, Step 4: establishing standard criteria (norms) for the growth mindset assessment tool, and Step 5: studying the growth perspective of children located in the five southern border provinces.
The research findings indicated that the growth mindset indicator comprised three elements: effort and challenge management, growth from failure, and self-efficacy, and 9 indicators: 1) the perception of intelligence set at birth (genetic), not by environmental influences, 2) the perception of being scared of difficult tasks, 3) the perception related to enough effort for accomplishment, 4) the lack of enthusiasm for solving problems, 5) the rejection of challenges since initial stage, 6) the refusal to learn too difficult things, 7) the confidence of their own problem solving skills, 8) the leadership, and 9) the assertiveness . The entirety of the nine-item survey possessed the subsequent reliability values:.742,.728,.726, and.718 for the individual components and the entire scales, respectively. The findings of the second order confirmatory factor analysis of growth mindset indicators were fitted. The Factor Loadings (𝛽) for each component were positive and statistically significant at the .01 level. The norms of Thai children in the five southern border provinces’ growth mindsets had a scaled of extended t value between 11.19 and 74.67, based on the usual growth mindset requirements. The findings of the investigation on the growth mindset of Thai children in the five southern border provinces have been obtained, the average was precisely 36.34, students Songkhla Province possessed the greatest mean, following by Narathiwat, and Yala Province got the lowest average.
