Abstract
Background:
Many nursing schools are transitioning to a competency-based model due to the increasing complexity of medical information, skills, task acuities, and cognitive overload.
Problem:
Nursing faculty may not be familiar with the synergy between achievement goal theory and the growth mindset (GM) model to prepare nursing students within a competency-based model effectively.
Approach:
This article presents a persuasive argument for how integrating achievement goal theory and the GM model could effectively foster mastery goals essential for competency development.
Conclusions:
Mastery goals, a component of the GM model, can be used as tangible indicators for assessing and evaluating competency development.
