<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the low ability of grade X-J students at MAN Kota Surabaya to recognize their self-potential, as well as a tendency toward a fixed mindset. This condition causes students to feel incapable, fear trying new things, and lack confidence when facing academic or daily challenges. These issues further impact low learning motivation, lack of resilience, and the absence of clear life goals. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of growth mindset-based self-development training in increasing self-awareness, learning motivation, and the students' ability to design more directed future goals. The research method employed is a quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest design. The subjects are students of class X-J who participated in the training through various participatory methods, such as self-reflection, group discussions, personal SWOT analysis, and the formulation of SMART goals. Data collection was conducted through pretest and posttest sheets to measure changes in students' understanding and attitudes, alongside observations to monitor participant engagement and responses.The results indicate a significant increase in students' understanding of self-concept and the growth mindset, marked by a stronger belief that abilities can be developed through effort, practice, and learning from mistakes. Additionally, students demonstrated positive behavioral changes, such as greater courage in facing challenges, increased persistence, and a more open attitude toward criticism and the learning process. Students' ability to formulate life goals also improved, as evidenced by goals that are more specific, measurable, and realistic. In conclusion, growth mindset-based self-development training is proven effective in helping students develop their potential, boost learning motivation, and prepare them to face future challenges with greater confidence and direction.]]>
