DEVELOPING STUDENTSʼ SCIENTIFIC MINDSET IN TEACHING PHYSICS

In this article, the possibilities of traditional teaching methods in modern physics education are examined, along with their limitations in developing students independent thinking and problem-solving skills. As a possible solution, the study considers the integration of Carol Decks “growth mindset” concept into the methodology of teaching physics. The results show that adopting a growth mindset approach not only improves students’ academic performance but also strengthens their intrinsic motivation to learn and their perseverance in solving problems. The article blends theoretical perspectives with practical examples and analysis.
