Our actions can be triggered by intentions, incentives or intrinsic values. Recent neuroscientific research has yielded some results about the growth mindset and intrinsic motivation. With the advances in neuroscience and motivational studies, there is a global need to utilize this information to inform educational practice and research. Yet, little is known about the neuroscientific interplay between growth mindset and intrinsic motivation. This paper attempts to draw on the theories of growth mindset and intrinsic motivation, together with contemporary ideas in neuroscience, outline the potential for neuroscientific research in education. It aims to shed light on the relationship between growth mindset and intrinsic motivation in terms of supporting a growth mindset to facilitate intrinsic motivation through neural responses. Recent empirical research from the educational neuroscience perspective that provides insights into the interplay between growth mindset and intrinsic motivation will also be discussed.
我们的行为可以由意图、激励因素或内在价值观触发。最近的神经科学研究已经得出了一些关于成长型思维模式和内在动机的结果。随着神经科学和动机研究的进展，全球都需要利用这些信息为教育实践和研究提供参考。然而，对于成长型思维模式和内在动机之间的神经科学相互作用却知之甚少。本文试图借鉴成长型思维模式和内在动机的理论，以及神经科学的当代观点，概述神经科学在教育领域的研究潜力。其目的是从支持成长型思维模式以通过神经反应促进内在动机的角度，阐明成长型思维模式与内在动机之间的关系。还将讨论从教育神经科学角度进行的最新实证研究，这些研究为成长型思维模式和内在动机之间的相互作用提供了见解。
