Exploring Workplace Learning in Surgical Practice: How Mindset and Motivation Are Associated With Self-Regulated Learning Behaviors
Surgeons holding a stronger fixed mindset reported lower levels of autonomous motivation, which were subsequently associated with less frequent use of SRL in the forethought phase. Conversely, more frequent use of SRL across its three phases was reported by surgeons holding a stronger growth mindset. These findings call for support of surgeons' growth mindset, to facilitate surgeons' roles as motivated and self-regulating learners striving for continuous performance improvement.
