QTC 10.2 Higher-Level Thinking (Analysis - Compare, Differentiate, Examine)
Examine the four different essential conditions for successful modeling.
1. Attention
One condition essential for effective modeling is that the learner must be engaged by the model and the model must be able to sustain their attention in order to pass on the modeled behavior. As a model presents a task or skill, the learner must be able to follow along with every step. The amount of attention paid may depend on the ability of the learner to focus on the task or the ability of the model to present the information in an interesting manner.
2. Retention
Retention is important to effective modeling in order for the learner to be able to remember the behavior shown to them by the model. Without retention, the learner will not benefit from the modeling process. For most learners, it may be necessary to present the information in a variety of ways, often using two difference strategies that the learner can couple together for enhanced retention.
3. Motor Reproduction
Another condition that is crucial to the modeling process is motor reproduction, or when the learner is able to physically reproduce the modeled behavior. Whether or not a student is capable of this may depend on physiology and coordination, or any other variety of physical attributes. To assist learners with motor reproduction, the model can have them imitate the behavior immediately after they are shown and give them guidance (coaching).
4. Motivation
In order for modeling to benefit learners, they must be motivated to acquire new skills and behaviors. Although some learners might be eager to show off what they have learned, others may not have this desire.
10.1) Live models and Symbolic models. Live models are real people whom we observe doing something whereas Symbolic models are real or fictional characters portrayed in books, in films, on television and through various other media.
ReplyDelete10.2) There are four different conditions for successful modeling: Attention, Retention, Motor Reproduction and Motivation.
Attention is, simply put, paying attention. In order to to gain from what is being modeled the learner must pay attention to it. For example paying attention to the procedures being modeled in a science lab to successfully complete the lab.
Retention is remembering what the model does. Students are likely to remember modeling better if it is presented in multiple formats (visually and verbally). Complex behavior modeling may also benefit from labeling.
Motor Reproduction is where the learner must be able to be physically capable of reproducing the modeled behavior as well as attending to it and remembering it. This can be something like learning to throw a baseball to mastering the rolling of r's in Spanish. It can be very useful to have students reproduce a modeled behavior immediately to improve retention, however some ethnic groups may prefer to practice in private before public.
Motivation is where the learner must be motivated to demonstrate the modeled behavior. Some students may be motivated to show off their retention of a modeled behavior thus not needing a strong amount of added motivation. However some students may need some sort of extrinsic motivation to reinforce the retention of the modeled behavior.
I liked both of these questions. The first round was as easy as looking up academic language in the book, but the effort put into that forced added retention of Live and Symbolic modeling. The second question involved identifying the different conditions and then elaborating on them. This required extra thinking for the question.
