¶ … 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…
Implications for Education
Education can be said to be the foundation of our society, as it molds children and adolescents for life after school, and provides them with the necessary skills and tools to survive in that life. Knowing more about the psychology influencing how students learn could improve our education system by giving us the tools to change curricula and policies to facilitate better and faster learning. It might help us to understand both under- and over-achievers so that we may better serve their specific needs, in addition to an overall better understanding of learning. As an important part of our society as a whole, education deserves much more scrutiny than we afford it, particularly in the realm of educational psychology.
Currently our educational model measures academic performance via assigned work and tests designed to demonstrate subject mastery. It is, however, an indirect measure of subject mastery because simply testing a few choice facts or skills does not necessarily give one a comprehensive view of the individual's true understanding of the concept. Studies suggest that performance demonstration oriented learning environments stifle intrinsic academic motivation (the inner desire to learn),and promotes extrinsic academic motivation, which is the opposite -- seeing education as merely a means to an end (Deci, 1985).For example, to a student who is extrinsically motivated, getting a good grade on the
Social Skills Interventions for Hfasd Adolescents Asperger's Syndrome Social Skills Interventions for Adolescents Diagnosed with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder Social Skills Interventions for Adolescents Diagnosed with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder Surprisingly, the possibility of a causal relationship between challenging behaviors, social abilities, and language deficits in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders had never been systematically studied. To remedy this lack of understanding Matson and colleagues (2013) examined the association between challenging behaviors

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. It is now commonplace for employees to work, at least in part, from offsite. Telecommuting is a reality that has allowed companies to reduce costs, become more competitive, and facilitate happier more productive employees. Virtual employees, or "telework is one of the most radical departures from standard
Autism is a developmental disorder as it is marked with pervasive and severe impairment revolving around areas of development such as communication, imagination, reciprocal interaction and behavior. The diagnostic criteria for autism as incorporated by the DSM IV TR includes symptoms such as impairment in the use of nonverbal behaviors like eye contact, gestures, bodily postures during the normal routine social interaction, the inability to form good peer relationships, delay
, 1999). In many areas of the country this may be very accurate. 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
