Of the following, which set of characteristics are we most likely to see in children of authoritarian parents?

Withdrawn, discontented, worried

Antecedent controls

the precipitating conditions before a behavior occurs.

Promoting student motivation

●Get students emotionally involved in subject matter. ●Foster emotion regulation. ●Keep anxiety at a low to moderate level. ●As students make the transition to middle school or high school, make an extra effort to minimize their anxiety and address their need for relatedness.

Peer relationships

(other children who are a child's equal in age) begin to play an increasingly important role in children's development.

Mastery vs. performance goals; completing goals (social vs. academic)

----Learning Oriented Students: -Motivated by desire for knowledge acquisition and self-improvement. -Characteristic of Self-Regulated Learners. -Intrinsically motivated/ Non-Competitive/Knowledge for Itself. -Seek Out Challenges -Resilient in the face of failure/setbacks. ---Performance Oriented Students: -Motivated by desire to gain recognition, status, and earn good grades. -Focused largely on Scores and Getting High Grades. -More Likely to Take Easy Courses. -More Likely to Avoid Challenges.

Community Centered

---focuses on establishing norms that -Promote Risk-Taking with freedom to make mistakes -Value understanding -Create connections between school and community - homes, community centers, religious organizations, businesses

Knowledge-centered: The essential role of factual knowledge and conceptual frameworks of understanding

---focuses on knowledge for understanding and transfer -Subject matter (what is taught) -Applied/disciplinary framework for understanding and transfer (why it is taught) -Organization to support disciplined inquiry (big ideas) Benchmarks for Mastery (learning goals)

Learner-centered: Engaging prior understandings

---focuses on learners prior knowledge, skills, attitudes, beliefs (KSAB) -Make prior KSAB visible -Design / Adapt instruction so it is culturally relevant with learners' prior KSAB -Build on KSAB preconceptions Challenge KSAB misconceptions

Vygotskian development theory and related concepts

--Development depends upon cultural and historical contexts of children's experience. --Activity is culturally and situationally bound --Activity is separate from thought. --Thought & reasoning emerge through practical activity in social settings --Development and learning are mediated; tied to the sign systems that individuals acquire --Tools (e.g., language, writing systems, counting systems) help people think, communicate, and solve problems

Assessment-centered: The importance of self-monitoringd

--focuses on opportunities to make KSAB visible -Monitor Progress towards goals (mastery) Summative Formative --Awareness of one's learning (metacognition) Opportunities to revise (mastery oriented) Adapt strategies in goal pursuit (self-regulation)

General principles of development

-Sequence is somewhat predictable -Occurs at different rates -Marked by spurts and plateaus -Involves both quantitative and qualitative changes -Heredity and environment interact in their effects -Influenced by children's own behavior.

Suzanne sees a row of 5 coins, and a second row, also of 5 coins, with each coin in the second row immediately below its counterpart in the first row. The second row is then spread apart without adding or removing a coin, and Suzanne concludes that the second row now has more coins than the first row. Delbert sees the same demonstration, and states that the coins in the second row have simply been spread apart, and the number of coins in each row remains the same. This example best illustrates which of the following?

Developmental differences between Suzanne and Delbert

Mr. Remignanti asks 9-year-old Anne to divide a pitcher of lemonade equally between two glasses, one each for her and her friend Kate. The two glasses are different shapes, with Anne's being tall and thin and Kate's being short and wide. After Anne pours the lemonade, Mr. Remignanti says to her, "Look, the lemonade in your glass is higher than the lemonade in Kate's glass. Did you give yourself more than you gave Kate?"

she did not pay attention to the instructions that were given.

Self concept

way in which we perceive our strengths, weaknesses, abilities, attitudes, and values; begins at birth and shaped by experiences (e.g., who am I? "I'm a high achieving student. I have crooked teeth")

Affect and relationship to motivation

• Affect is closely tied to learning and cognition. • Productive affect can trigger effective learning strategies. • Affect can also trigger certain behaviors.

Entity vs. incremental view of intelligence

• Entity View of Intelligence: belief that intelligence is a distinct ability that is relatively permanent and unchangeable • Intelligence is fixed. • Incremental View of Intelligence: belief that intelligence can improve with effort and practice • Intelligence is malleable.

Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation

• Intrinsic motivation ●Motivation resulting from personal characteristics or inherent in the task being performed. • Extrinsic motivation ●Motivation resulting from factors external to the individual and unrelated to the task being performed.

Creating a classroom community (conducive to learning)

• Maximize attention and minimize disruption • Communicate caring and respect for EVERY student AND in culturally consistent ways • Create and affirm a sense of community and belongingness. • Create- a goal-oriented, but non-threatening atmosphere. • Establish rules and procedures.

Research on active listening in education

•EARS Your ears are primary to listening. And you must give a speaker full attention so that you both perceive sound and actually receive the message •EYES Much of listening is observing and trying to understand not only what is being said with words but also with non-verbal cues. •HEART We need to understand the emotion that is being communicated in the words we hear (and see).
