Question 1

It is the last week of school in June. The teacher is going over a lesson on mass in Science class. Emily wants to go outside to enjoy the sunny day, but reminds herself to focus on this important topic that will be covered on the final exam. As a self-regulated learner, she is demonstrating

Accepted Answer

Volition involves making a conscious decision to regulate one's own learning behavior and to persevere through challenges despite distractions or competing goals. Emily's self-reminder to focus on the lesson rather than going outside is a demonstration of volition.

Question 4

Cognitive behaviour modification focuses on

Accepted Answer

Cognitive behaviour modification focuses on using self-talk to regulate behaviour, through recognizing negative or unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with positive and constructive ones. It does not rely on observations of models, direct instruction from teachers, or vicarious observations of others.

Question 5

Question 6

Which one of the following quotes is an example of high self-efficacy?

Accepted Answer

Option A demonstrates high self-efficacy because the person believes in their ability to do well in math, based on their previous experience and skills. They have a positive attitude towards their own abilities, and their belief in their capability to succeed is high. In contrast, options B, C, and D rely on factors outside of the person's control, such as luck, the teacher's attitude, and their ease-going nature, respectively. They do not demonstrate a strong belief in one's own abilities or self-efficacy.

Question 7

According to Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, peers

Accepted Answer

According to Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, peers can serve as important models and facilitate student learning. They can also provide social support and feedback, which can be positively reinforcing for students. However, peer influences can also be negative, such as when peers encourage risky behaviors or discourage academic achievement. Therefore, it is essential to promote positive peer relationships and create a supportive classroom environment where students can learn from and with each other.

Question 8

Which one of the following is NOT an essential component of emotional self-regulation?

Accepted Answer

While problem-solving is an important skill, it is not necessarily an essential component of emotional self-regulation. The other options listed, such as showing empathy, acting ethically and legally, and labeling feelings, are all key components of emotional self-regulation.

Question 9

What are the steps involved in self-regulated learning?

Accepted Answer

Self-regulated learning involves analyzing the task, setting goals, devising plans, and enacting strategies. This process allows individuals to take charge of their own learning and develop a deeper understanding of the material. Choices A and B contain some of the steps involved in self-regulated learning, but they do not cover all of them. Choice D focuses on specific components of self-regulated learning, namely self-efficacy, strategy use, and volition, but does not provide a complete process for self-regulated learning.

Question 10

Which one of the following theories places the greatest emphasis on presenting models so that students can learn from observing others complete a task?

Accepted Answer

Social cognitive theory places the greatest emphasis on presenting models for learning through observation. This theory suggests that individuals learn from the behaviors, attitudes, and outcomes of those around them, and that observing others can influence their own learning and behavior. Constructivist theoretical perspectives focus on learners constructing their own knowledge and understanding, while behavioral theory emphasizes the importance of reinforcement and punishment in shaping behavior. Expectancy-value theory focuses on individuals' beliefs about their ability to succeed in a task and the value they place on that task.

Question 11

Research on self-efficacy and achievement suggests that school achievement is improved and self-efficacy is increased when students

Accepted Answer

The answer of Research on self-efficacy and achievement suggests that...

Question 12

Erin is a fifth-grade teacher who has a high degree of efficacy in teaching. Consequently, Erin will most likely

Accepted Answer

If Erin has a high degree of efficacy in teaching, it means she believes in her ability to make a positive impact on her students' learning. Therefore, when her students have learning difficulties, she is more likely to try harder to find ways to help them succeed. This suggests that answer choice D is the most likely outcome of Erin's high efficacy.

Question 13

Which of the following is TRUE of teachers' sense of self-efficacy?

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that teachers with a high sense of efficacy are less likely to experience burn-out, as they feel capable of handling challenging situations and are less likely to feel overwhelmed or ineffective.

Question 14

Ming sees her baby sister now playing with her old, forgotten teddy bear. Now Ming wants to have the teddy bear back to hold herself. This best exemplifies what possible outcome of observational learning?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Ming sees her baby sister now playing...

Question 15

April uses a mnemonic to remember all the Great Lakes. As a self-regulated learner, she is demonstrating

Accepted Answer

The answer of April uses a mnemonic to remember all...

Question 16

Which four skills do Brenda Manning and Beverly Payne (1996) identify that can increase students' ability to learn?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which four skills do Brenda Manning and...

Question 17

Woolfolk suggests the following strategy for teachers in an effort to involve parents in supporting self-regulation within their child:

Accepted Answer

Asking families to keep records in support of the students' self-evaluation of progress can help teachers and parents work collaboratively to support the development of self-regulation skills. This also allows parents to actively engage in their child's learning process and monitor their progress, which can ultimately lead to more successful outcomes. Choices A and B are not specific strategies for involving parents in supporting self-regulation, and choice D is not an effective strategy as it does not teach the child self-regulation skills.

Question 18

Which of the following is an important finding from the research of Roger Azevedo from McGill University on technology and self-regulation?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is an important...

Question 19

In Roger Azevedo's research a self-regulation "coach" is

Accepted Answer

A self-regulation "coach" is someone who helps students plan their learning and monitor their understanding, as stated in the question. The other choices do not accurately describe the role of a self-regulation coach.

Question 20

Zimmerman's model of self-regulated learning ends the cycle with

Accepted Answer

Zimmerman's model of self-regulated learning ends with the individual reflecting on what has been learned and thinking about their performance. This step is important in evaluating progress and success, as well as identifying areas for improvement and setting new goals for future learning tasks. While cooperative learning and means-ends problem solving may be important aspects of the self-regulated learning process, they do not necessarily occur at the end of the cycle.
