Ilya will propose four critical angles
- reviewing available empirical studies, especially through the lens of insights drawn from statistics;
- carefully considering the context of educational research;
- analysing the way in which research constructs may be embedded in or influenced by idiosyncratic features of culture;
- paying attention to conceptual integrity and (re)turning to ordinary language.
Ilya will critically evaluate the research on ‘growth mindset’ interventions to illustrate these four complementary angles.
This online event will be particularly useful for teachers, researchers and policymakers interested in teacher education and the role philosophy can play in teacher education.

About the Speaker
Ilya Zrudlo
Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Philosophy at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada
He has two main research programmes. The first investigates the moral and intellectual capacities young people need to acquire in order to contribute to the development of their communities, particularly in urban contexts in North America.
The second research programme focuses on teaching and teacher education, exploring the nature of teaching itself, the role of philosophy in teacher education, and how philosophical analyses of popular educational slogans and interventions can protect teachers from the ongoing torrent of fads and fashions in the field.
