Abstract

The growth mindset in mathematics is one of the important elements in learning mathematics. With these psychological aspects, students have beliefs that their mathematical intelligence can be developed through an active and diligent mathematics learning process, not being afraid when facing difficulties, not feeling satisfied with praise, and making positive inspiration for the academic achievements of other friends. This article presents the results of an exploration of the growth mindset in mathematics of students in private junior high schools who take science specialization classes. A total of 78 students participated in this study. All students were given a growth mindset scale in mathematics and analyzed quantitatively descriptively. The results of this study indicate that most students have a mixed math mindset, namely a fixed mindset with a little growth mindset (Fixed-Growth (FG)) of 56.41% or a growth mindset with a little fixed mindset (Growth-Fixed (GF)) of 39.74%. Meanwhile, students with a strong growth mindset (Growth-Growth (GG)) have a very small percentage of 3.85%. In terms of gender, male and female students are more dominant in the fixed mindset (Fixed-Growth (FG)) with a little growth mindset (male (55.88%) and female (56.82%)). Therefore, further research needs to be carried out to foster a growth mindset in mathematics learning activities through pedagogical interventions in these science specialization classes.
