“Developing students’ talent is, after all, the principal mission of any educational institution–to help students learn, grow, and develop into competent and responsible citizens, parents, employees, and professionals.”

We must protest and react against this brutal pessimism; we will try to demonstrate that it is founded on nothing.
Some recent philosophers seem to have given their moral approval to these deplorable verdicts that affirm that the intelligence of an individual is a fixed quantity, a quantity that cannot be augmented.

There is no such thing as innate talent.
Talent is cultivated. Talent is developed.
Talent is earned.

Does the research on college students
support this?

Research on Mastery
• Sample of 14,000+ students from 48 institutions
• Academic Discipline was the best predictor of GPA & retention
“the amount of effort a student puts into schoolwork and the degree to which he or she sees himself or herself as hardworking and conscientious”
Robbins et al.2006Journal of Educational Psychology
![Page 48: Developing Talented College Students - University of South ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050100/626c46a9434e3e64f15face0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Research on Mastery
• Meta analysis of 21,000+ students
• Class Attendance
“These relationships make ___________ a better predictor of college grades than any other known predictor of academic performance, including scores on standardized admissions tests such as the SAT, high school GPA, study habits, and study skills.”
Crede et al.2010Review of Educational Research
![Page 49: Developing Talented College Students - University of South ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050100/626c46a9434e3e64f15face0/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Research on Mindset
• Teaching high-risk students a growth mindset greatly improves their academic effort
Is what we do and say with our students communicating a growth mindset or a fixed mindset?
Sriram, R.2014Journal of College Student Retention
![Page 50: Developing Talented College Students - University of South ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050100/626c46a9434e3e64f15face0/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Research on Myelin
• Myelination is vital to talent
• Frontal lobe is the last part of the brain to myelinate
• This myelination occurs during the 20s
How can we help our students understand how important the college years are for brain development?
Jay, M.2012The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter

Research on Motivation
• Grit: • Passion & Perseverance
toward long-term goals
• Difference between a GPA of 3.0 and 3.35
How often do we talk about purpose, calling, or vocation with our students?How else will they “stomach” what it will cost to become talented?

Research on Mentorship
• Meta analysis of mentorship in college
• Increase in retention, graduation rates, and comfort w/ campus
• Especially for first-year Latino students
How do we connect our students with people who will invest in them and provide constant, specific feedback?
