Measuring Mindset Change in the Systemic Transformation of Education

Introduction As the whole society is experiencing a notable shift from the industrial age to the information age, an urgent need for a mindset change in education has been frequently discussed during the past decades. This paper will approach the mindset change through three interconnected sections: the first section reviews the conceptualization of mindset and then gives our definition of mindset concentrating on understanding its unique significance to the educational system. The second section presents, compares, and contrasts the key markers of the information-age mindset and the industrial-age mindset. The third section displays an instrument designed and developed by the authors that can be used to measure the status of individual and group mindset.
