Question 1

Mr.Snow,the math teacher,asks parents to facilitate their child's self-regulation by

Accepted Answer

Modeling how to set specific goals can help the child learn how to regulate their behavior and work towards achieving specific outcomes. Rewarding only large improvements in math skills may not be effective as it does not address the process by which the student can improve, while encouraging the student not to engage in self-evaluation may hinder their ability to reflect on and learn from their actions. Linking success to natural born abilities may also limit the child's perception of their ability to improve and be successful through effort and hard work.

Question 2

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 student's self-evaluation of progress would be the most effective strategy to involve parents in supporting their child's self-regulation. This would encourage parents to actively participate in their child's learning process and help them to monitor their progress. Additionally, it would provide the child with a sense of responsibility for their own learning and encourage self-reflection. Choices A and B do not offer a specific strategy for involving parents in supporting self-regulation, and choice D promotes a counterproductive strategy for homework completion.

Question 3

A child who raises her hand because others do so and she wants to imitate the behaviors of her peers is an example of the ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A child who raises her hand because...

Question 4

Self-efficacy is an important influence on observational learning.

Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to successfully perform a task or behavior. It has been found to play a significant role in observational learning, as individuals with higher levels of self-efficacy may be more motivated to learn from observing others and more likely to try out the observed behavior themselves.

Question 5

According to Bandura,we must know a child's level of self-esteem in order to understand the child's level of self-efficacy.

Accepted Answer

Bandura's theory of self-efficacy is distinct from self-esteem; self-efficacy refers to one's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations, while self-esteem is about one's overall sense of self-worth.

Question 6

The interaction of environmental events,personal factors,and behaviors is called triarchic reciprocal causality.

Accepted Answer

Triarchic reciprocal causality proposes that behavior is influenced by the interaction of environmental events, personal factors, and behaviors themselves. This theory acknowledges that these factors are interconnected, and each can influence and be influenced by the others.

Question 7

In addition to academic learning skills,self-regulated learners have

Accepted Answer

Self-regulated learners have good self-control abilities as they are able to regulate their own learning and behavior, which includes managing their time, setting appropriate goals, and monitoring their own progress towards those goals. The other options do not necessarily apply to all self-regulated learners.

Question 8

Individuals with a strong sense of self-efficacy for a given task tend to attribute their failures to lack of ability.

Accepted Answer

Individuals with a strong sense of self-efficacy tend to attribute their failures to factors that are controllable and changeable, such as effort or strategy, rather than lack of ability. They have a belief in their ability to succeed and view failures as opportunities to learn and improve, rather than as reflections of their inherent worth or capabilities.

Question 9

Bandura's model of triarchic reciprocal causality is based on the notion of agency and personal control,therefore social influences are not part of his model of reciprocal determinism.

Accepted Answer

Bandura's model of triarchic reciprocal causality does include social influences as one of the factors that impact an individual's behavior. It considers the interaction and feedback between an individual's personal factors (such as motivation and cognitive processes), their behavior, and the environment in which they operate (including social influences). Therefore, social influences are a part of his model of reciprocal determinism.

Question 10

Which one of the following teaching approaches does Lynn Fuch (2003)recommend for incorporating self-regulated learning strategies into math-problem solving?

Accepted Answer

According to Lynn Fuch (2003), incorporating self-regulated learning strategies into math problem-solving involves having students set new goals based on their previous math performance at the beginning of each session. This helps students take ownership of their learning and monitor their progress towards achieving their goals. Therefore, the best choice is D.

Question 11

One of the best ways teachers can increase a student's sense of self-efficacy for a task is to ensure they have ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of One of the best ways teachers can...

Question 12

Accepted Answer

The answer of The notion that students that students have...

Question 13

When you think about the mutual effects of a student's behavior,his or her personal characteristics,and the environment,you are relying on Bandura's concept of ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of When you think about the mutual effects...

Question 14

In addition to goal setting,outcome ________ affect the process of observation learning.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In addition to goal setting,outcome ________ affect...

Question 15

When failure does occur,self-regulated learners are LESS likely to

Accepted Answer

Self-regulated learners are less likely to get defensive because they tend to view failures as opportunities for growth and learning rather than threats to their self-esteem.

Question 16

What are the steps involved in self-regulated learning?

Accepted Answer

The steps involved in self-regulated learning are analyzing the task, setting goals, devising plans, and enacting strategies. These steps involve identifying and understanding what needs to be learned, setting goals for learning, creating a plan to achieve those goals, and utilizing various strategies to accomplish them. Model, reflection, self-evaluation, teaching, practice, goal-setting, reflective task analysis, and self-efficacy are all important factors that are involved in self-regulated learning, but they are not the specific steps that make up this process.

Question 17

Mr.Jacoby is very effective at encouraging his students to become self-regulated learners because he includes the following in his teaching:

Accepted Answer

Direct instruction on the aspects of self-regulated learning helps students understand and apply strategies to manage their own learning, making them more self-regulated.

Question 18

Self-efficacy refers to individuals' skill at managing their own study behaviors.

Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task, not specifically managing study behaviors.

Question 19

If you watch another teacher successfully teach students how to design a web page and you say to yourself "if he can do it,I can do it",you are relying on ________ as a source of self-efficacy information.

Accepted Answer

The answer of If you watch another teacher successfully teach...

Question 20

When a teacher gives a "pep talk" to a student and says "you can do it," the teacher may be able to influence a student's self-efficacy for a task.

Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy refers to a person's belief in their ability to successfully perform a specific task or accomplish a goal. The teacher's pep talk, which includes the statement "you can do it," can help to instill confidence in the student's ability to succeed, thus influencing their self-efficacy for the task.
