Objective: This research aims to study the roles of Muslim parents in promoting a growth mindset among kindergarteners in schools under the special development zones in the southern border provinces. The study focuses on three aspects: Being a role model, providing a psychological environment, and supporting children learning from the failure.
Methodology: The sample consisted of 380 Muslim parents of kindergarteners who enrolled in kindergarten level 1-3 in schools under Special Education Area Office 1, covering Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces. The research instrument was a questionnaire for parents. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentages, mean, and standard deviation.
Research Findings: The results indicated that Muslim parents promoted a growth mindset among kindergarten children at a high overall level (M=4.01). When considering each aspect, the highest mean score was found in providing a psychological environment (M=4.13), followed by supporting children learning from the failure (M=3.97), and being a role model (M=3.94).
Contributions: A study of parents’ roles in fostering preschoolers’ growth mindset can serve as a guideline for parents in promoting a growth mindset in preschool children, including guidelines and policy proposals for fostering early childhood children to have a growth mindset.
