¶ … social modeling and academic self-Efficacy: The moderating role of academic motivation.
Within the learning environment, the student is required to engage in variant levels of personal responsibility to ensure success. Academic self-efficacy consequently is an important consideration for the improvement of student performance at multiple levels. This study considers the relationship between social modeling and academic self-efficacy. This relationship is moderated by academic motivation. Using an experimental design a sample of 100 undergraduate students were exposed to the treatment. The data were collected using questionnaires using the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and the College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (CASES). It is anticipated that the students who received the treatment will demonstrate significantly higher levels of self-efficacy. Additionally, students who were intrinsically motivated demonstrated significantly higher levels of self-efficacy. The learning experience therefore requires an understanding of what is occurring...
Personal factors are critical to improving overall student performance.
The present study aims to study the relationship between academic motivation and academic self-efficacy, and how both can be affected by social modeling experiences. More specifically, we will be looking at whether an individual can be categorized as intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated and whether this categorization has an effect on how well the "treatment" (social modeling) works to improve academic self-efficacy. A sample of approximately 100 undergraduates will be exposed to one of three experimental conditions, two different types of social modeling and one control. Participants will complete questionnaires to assess their level of academic motivation and type of motivation (using the Academic Motivation Scale) as well as their level of academic self-efficacy (using the College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale). The two modeling situations that are not controls correspond to the two types of motivation orientation, one…

Methods for evaluating and monitoring the effectiveness of peer-assisted learning programs are discussed as well, followed by a summary of the literature review. Background and Overview. The growing body of scholarly evidence concerning peer tutoring has been consistent in emphasizing the powerful effects that children can exert on the academic and interpersonal development of their classmates and/or other students (Ehly & Topping, 1998). For example, Bloom (1984) reported early on that
Managing Professionals in Virtual Environment As technology has evolved, the reality of virtual organizations has begun to take hold in a variety of industries.

Another problem that comes into the picture where obesity in children is concerned is that many parents must work very long hours today to pay bills and have money for what their family needs (Mokdad, et al., 1999). Because of this, many children are latchkey kids and are not watched as closely by their parents as they used
