Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
This dissertation researched underachievement tendencies of gifted learners and growth mindset. Researchers have concluded underachievement tendencies can lead to social and emotional difficulties and intrapersonal issues (See Tan, Kian Tan & Surendran, 2016; Roedell, 1984; Rubenstein, Siegle, Reiss, McCoach, & Burton, 2012). Gifted students often battle frustration, avoidance, and depression (Chan, 2012; Esparza, Shumow, Schmidt, 2014; Speirs Neumeister, 2016; Turner et al., 2002). Without intervention, some students fall behind academically and socially, which can lead to low satisfaction with life, drop out, depression, or suicide (Denholm, 1991; Krakovsky 2007). This study focuses on one student with academic talent who exhibited underachievement tendencies. The purpose of this study was to examine the experience of a gifted third-grader participating in Brainology’s® growth-mindset intervention. Documenting the effect the experience had on the underachievement behaviors of this case student illuminated the possible impacts of a growth-mindset intervention on this student’s behavior, responses, and attitudes.
