Managing the self - undself

lesson 1 finals

learning

change in behavior personality

perfromance

translation of this potientiality into behavior

low stress

associated with low performance

high stress

can trigger fight-or-flight which leads to less brain activity where higher-level learning happens

moderate stress

tend to correlate with the highest performance on tasks of any type

rote learning

learning without understanding

• e.g. memorization

rational learning

learning with understanding

motor learning

adaptation of movement to stimuli relating to speed and performance

associational learning

learning through establishing relationship

appreciational learning

process of acquiring attitudes, ideas, satisfaction and judgement concerning values as well as the recognition of worth and importance which learner gains from activities

recency

most recent impression or association is more like likely to be recalled

frequency

knowledge encountered most often is more likely to be recalled

vividness

learning is proportional to vividness of the process

exercise

using what has been learned will help its likelihood to be recalled

readiness

readiness to learn is proportional to the efficiency of learning

VARK learning style

• developed by neil fleming in 1987, an educational theorist from new zealand

• to help students identify their learning preferences based on sensory modalities

• could be innate and genetically associated. in an environmental aspect, it is something you figure out on your own

vark: visual

absorb info through visual aids, such as diagrams, and images

auditory

absorb information through listening, such as podcasts, lectures, or dicussions

• they benefit from study buddies or study groups

read/write

excel when information is presented in text like books, articles, and detailed notes

kinesthetic

learn best by doing, through movement, experiments, and practical activitites

VARK: selective multimodal

those who are flexible in their communication preferences and who switch from mode to mode depending on the context

• may have 2, 3, or 4 almost-equal preferences in their vark scores

VARK: integrative multimodal

• combining different strategies from the vark learning model to learn more effectively

  • more than one learning preference

• may be seen as procrastinators or slow deliverers

  • most students are more kinesthetic learners

goals

observable, measurable end results of objectives to be accomplishes within a given time frame

vision

is an idea of what you want to be or what you want to do

goal setting theory

• edwin locke and gary latham

• linked to task performance

• specific and challenging goals and appropriate feedback = higher, more effective task performance.

• goals indicate and give direction to a person about what needs to be done and how much effort is required to be put in.

SMART goals

• specific

• measurable

• action plan

• relevant

• time-bound

human motivation

• abraham maslow

• being arranged in a hierarchy of prepotency

  • prepotency: must be satisfied or mostly satisfied before higher-level needs become activated

    • lower needs must be satisfied before higher needs can be opened

• all our goals can be derived from maslow’s hierarchy of needs

social cognitive theory

• albert bandura

• emphasizes how cognitive, behavioral, personal, and environmental factors interact to determine motivation and behavior

• self-efficacy is the belief we have in our own abilities, specifically our ability to meet the challenges ahead of us and complete a task successfully

growth mindset theory

• carol dweck

• suggests that Individuals can be placed on a continuum according to their implicit views of “where ability comes from.”

• Dweck states that there are two categories (growth mindset versus fixed mindset) that can group individuals based on their behavior, specifically their reaction to failure.

Fixed Mindset

Not aiming to be better; thinking that they can’t improve themselves.

Growth Mindset

Not always affected by their failures, because it means they are capable of so much more in life

the power of “yet”

• There are things that you cannot do right now, and that’s alright because we are still in the process of growing.

• Self-talk shapes our mindsets to always grow.
