Lower Level Thinking: (Knowledge & Comprehension)
Higher Level Thinking: (Analysis, Synthesis &
Evaluation)
Study the 4 conditions that are essential for successful
modeling (pg 333). Choose one condition and briefly explain how you might use
this condition to teach a new behavior to a learner in your classroom.
Lower Level Thinking: When a nonoccurrence of an expected consequence occurs, it can be either a punisher or a reinforce and have the opposite of the intended effect because students are frustrated. (This seems like a knowledge question- you can find the answer directly in the book.
ReplyDeleteHigher level thinking:
Attention is one condition that is essential for effective modeling. I would ensure that I had my learners' attention by introducing novelty in my classroom. I would include hands-on activities, and frequently redecorate my classroom according to the "theme" of the unit. Students need to be paying attention to what I am saying in order to learn a new behavior.
I think that this is an "apply" question. I have to apply this condition to my future classroom. I also have to "synthesize" or "create" ideas about how to use this concept.
1. Lower Level Thinking: (Knowledge & Comprehension)
ReplyDeleteThe nonoccurrence of an expected reinforcement acts as a form of punishment and the nonoccurrence of an expected punishment acts as a form of reinforcement. For examples, if a student who works hard in class to achieve a high grade doesn’t receive a fair grade, he/she is unlikely to work as hard the next time around. Similarly, if a student’s cheating on the test is overlooked by the teacher, the student will likely to cheat again the next time around.
This question is a lower-level question that requires the person answering the question to recall, understand, and summarize what nonoccurrence of an expected consequence can have on a learner.

The four conditions necessary for successful modeling are attention, retention, motor reproduction, and motivation. Attention means that the person must first pay attention to the model. Retention must be present, or that the learner must remember what the model does. Motor reproduction, or that the learner must be physically capable of reproducing the modeled behavior, is also a necessary condition. Finally, the learner must have motivation to demonstrate the modeled behavior. To teach a student to take notes during lectures, the teacher can promote student motivation to take notes by praising a student who always takes notes and writing the quiz on lecture materials (reinforce the model student/behavior).
This is a higher-level question that requires the person answering the question to demonstrate knowledge (four conditions of modeling), comprehension (four conditions of modeling), application (how to one of the conditions to teach a new behavior), and synthesis (think of a new behavior that could be taught using modeling).
