Morgan Shelly: QTC 10.1 & 10.2

10.1 Low Level Thinking 
(Knowledge & Comprehension - Identify, List, Name, Cite, Define, Explain)
Identify the various types of modeling. What makes an effective model? (pgs. 329-334)

10.2 High Level Thinking
(Synthesis & Evaluation - Determine, Construct, Compose, Assess)
Self-regulation is not an innate characteristic. Consider you have a student in your future classroom that has poor self-regulation, How would you handle a student who had poor self-regulation? How can you best teach your students to acquire self-regulation? What classroom management would you present to assist with self-regulation?

  1. 10.1: Live models are real people that we watch to understand how to do something. Symbolic models are those characters found in books, movies, or television. People can pay attention to what these models do in certain situations and react accordingly. Cognitive modeling deals with not just demonstrating how to do a task, but how to think while completing the task. This is like a teacher speaking out loud while solving the steps to a math problem. Effective models are competent in what they are modeling. They are also influential and have some type of prestige or power about them. Also, what is modeled needs to be relevant to the learners' circumstances.

    10.2: Self-regulation is the skill humans require in order to stay on track and eventually reach set goals. If I had a student with poor self-regulation skills, I would have that child self-monitor. There is a chart that behaviorists use that has a student stop every few minutes and determine at what percentage up to 100% were they on task. It holds the student accountable and makes them more aware of their habits. Every student could easily participate in this. Also, this is an opportunity for me to model to my students the type of behavior and quality of participation that I expect.

    Morgan, I liked how you pulled two questions from different parts of the chapter, but they were related and the second one made me take on a situation and figure out how best to solve it.
