Developing a growth mindset in education: A bibliometric analysis and its challenge during pandemic

The growth mindset is essential for learning because students encounter
numerous obstacles during the pandemic. However, only a few studies have
examined research trends in growth mindset pedagogy. In filling this gap, this
study aims to conduct a bibliometric study using the growth mindset pedagogy
during the pandemic. Data from 81 Scopus-sourced scholarly articles on
growth mindset in education from 2020–2022 was used. Vosviewer
qualitatively analysed the data. Results showed that the research cluster's
growth mindset is diverse and adaptive to learning dynamics, notably during
the Covid-19 pandemic. Several research clusters examined instructors,
students, and parents' roles in learning. Another cluster focuses on academic
achievement and teacher efforts to improve student performance. Research
also addresses student issues like depression, academic fatigue, and suicide
ideation. Research on a growth mindset in education has grown quantitatively
since 2021. Clusters 1, 2, and 4, 5 have the most research on active learning
design to improve student academic performance and accomplishment through
teachers and other supporting elements. Even though academic fatigue can
lead to depression and suicidal ideation, research on academic achievementrelated

student issues is scarce. In conclusion, a growth mindset can
significantly contribute to enhancing academic performance and solving
learning problems.
