Autonomy and Achievement Flashcards
What is emotional autonomy?
The establishment of adult-like relationships with parents and peers. Emotional needs are transferred to peers and we begin to view adults as people.
What is individuation?
Transformation of the child parental relationship, start to become more autonomous. Don’t want to sever the relationship (Freud), because positive child parent relationships are still needed.
What are the 5 ways that emotional autonomy develops?
1) Adolescent sees their caregivers have flaws, and I can go to someone else if I need help cuz everyone has strengths and flaws
2) Caregivers don’t know everything about youths, can have different identities
3) Youth are not as willing to express negative emotions with parents-instead with peers
4) Changes in beliefs about caregivers authority
5) De-idealization of caregivers (parents are people)
ALL ARE CONTEXT SPECIFIC
What was the study done by Boucher and Maslach on undergrads of European and Asian descent living in the USA?
They measured individuation (taking the lead, seeking attention), self-construal, and demographics.
What were the results of the study done by Boucher and Maslach?
Europeans: Higher in indiviuation than Asians. Asians had a higher score on taking the lead versus attention seeking. Europeans were higher on independence, and Asians on interdepdence. Independence scores explain individuation.
What is behavioural autonomy?
Making independent decisions and acting independently-changes to decision-making abilities, susceptibility to influence of others.
What is cognitive autonomy?
Changes to beliefs, values, and opinions (your own ideas), abstract ideas, general principles versus absolute fact. This development happens later, supported by emotional and behavioural autonomy.
How is educational achievement assessed?
1 in 3 ways. School performance, academic achievement, educational attainment.
What were Rosales’ ideas on standardized testing?
Racism underlies standardized testing. Tests what you’ve already learned, not your aptitude for learning. Leads to more memorization learning. The goal of these tests is to keep youth of colour out of higher education. Rooted in the eugenics movement.
How does IQ testing demonstrate a racial bias?
Influenced by eugenics. People who are not white do not do as well- an attempt to demonstrate white superority.
What is stereotype threat?
Fear of confirming an inferior stereotype which leads to stress and anxiety, poor performance, and the stereotype gets upheld.
How do the types of questions on IQ tests demonstrate racial bias?
Essay prompt: about someone getting a key to the city, which is an incredibly white prompt. Questions are written by white people and assume white background knowledge.
What are the 7 principles behind fair test?
1) Primary purpose of assessement is to improve student learning
2) Assessment should be holistic (graduation not based on one time test)
3) Assessment systems fair to all students
4) Professional development and collaboration support assessment: educator training
5) Broad community participation in assessing development
6) Communication about assessment is clear
7) Assesment systems regularly reviewed and improved.
