description There has been a long-standing debate among scientists as to whether intelligence is something innate, tangible, fixed, and relatively unchanging, or whether intelligence is not fixed and unchanging, but rather something that can be developed, dynamic, shaped, and strengthened with effort. Carol Dweck and her colleagues, who have focused their studies in this field, have developed the implicit theory of intelligence, which deals with this topic. According to the implicit theory of intelligence, which is based on people's beliefs about the nature of their intelligence, these beliefs are the perspectives on whether the intellectual abilities of individuals are fixed or whether they can be developed or not. Implicit theory of intelligence; expresses people's beliefs related to their intelligence as a structure consisting of two parts: the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. The implicit theory of intelligence see intelligence as ranging from either being stable, fixed, unchangeable, and innate (fixed mindset) or being improvable, dynamic, malleable, and could be changed by effort or hard work (growth mindset). This theory has been renamed as growth mindset in the recent period. Shortly, growth mindset interventions. Express that human abilities are not fixed and these abilities can be developed. However, as a result of a detailed search in the national literature, it has been determined that there is no study growth mindset. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to introduce growt mindset, whose effectiveness has been tested by many studies and evidence-based, especially to young researchers working in the academic field and field workers in Türkiye.
