A review of strategies that games use to promote #GrowthMindset https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/gnw89_v1 (summarized in infographic below)
#EdTech #GameBasedLearning

Infographic titled "Level Up Your Mind: Game Strategies for Growth," explaining how digital games promote a growth mindset by rewarding the process of learning rather than just the outcome.

Below the title, a brain illustration is shown next to five key strategies, each paired with an icon:

* **Teach the Science of "Brain Growth":** Icon of a brain with signal waves. Encourages explicit instruction, like neuroplasticity videos, to demonstrate how effort strengthens the brain.
* **Praise Strategy Over Innate Ability:** Icon of a speech bubble with a checkmark. Advises providing real-time feedback that affirms persistence and trying again over inherent talent.
* **Implement "Brain Points" Incentive Systems:** Icon of a ribbon badge with a star. Suggests shifting reward structures to points for sustained effort, risk-taking, and strategy experimentation.
* **Calibrate the "Zone of Proximal Development":** Icon of a progressive path target. Recommends designing challenges that require effort while remaining achievable to avoid discouragement.
* **Reframe Failure as Informative Data:** Icon of a shield. Focuses on using formative feedback and "safe retry" systems to view mistakes as learning opportunities.

5/ This Halls of History demo requires a desktop browser, a microphone, and about 10 minutes for a run though. Phones and tablets aren't supported yet.

I'm admitting players on a rolling basis as I scale the platform.

In applied game design and active learning, our primary objective is never to eliminate failure, but to make its causal meaning completely transparent.
