During learning Flashcards
is the most complex organ in our body, and it contains 100 billion nerve cells or neurons.
When we learn or practice something, the neurons in our brain connect with other neurons until
they grow dendrites and create pathway/s.
brain
process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals.
Neurons
are the small gaps between neurons. They allow information to pass from one neuron to
the next.
Synapses
connect relatively distant areas of the brain or nervous system, each pathway is
associated with a particular action or behavior. Every time we think, feel or do something, we
strengthen this pathway. Habits are well travelled pathways-our brain finds these things easy to
do.
Neural pathways
New thoughts and skills carve out new pathways. Repetition and practice strengthen these pathways forming new habits. Old pathways get used less and weaken.
Neuroplasticity
Simply defined is thinking about your thinking or the “process of considering and regulating
one’s own learning”
Metacognition
This involves conscious control over your thoughts. This means being aware of how you think
and learn and being conscious of yourself as a thinker and a learner.
Metacognition
To take charge of our learning, we need to be honest with ourselves to understand ourselves better.
Reflecting on what we know, what we do not know, what we want to know, and how to know what
to know are essential in
Metacognition
“Includes the cognitive, metacognitive, behavioral, motivational, and emotional/affective
aspects of learning”
Self-regulating Learning (SLR)
it is not a mental ability or an
academic performance skill; rather it is self-directive process by which learners transform their
mental abilities into academic skills.
Self-regulating Learning (SLR)
People with a strong sense of efficacy-that is, the ability to bring the desired result-may well try
beyond what they think they are capable of.
Bandura’s Self Efficacy Theory
is the belief that in one’s own ability to successfully accomplish something
Sel-efficacy
will not look at the problem and tell themselves, I won’t do it because it’s
not easy but will rather tell themselves, this is challenging that I can overcome.
Self-efficacious people
is an important aspect in the achievement of success.
Self-confidence
what are four (4) factors that
influence one’s self confidence or self-efficacy
- Mastery experience
- Vicarious experience
- Verbal Persuasion
- Somatic and Emotional States
is the mental attitude one takes that determines how one will respond and understand
the situation.
Mindset
who quoted this “It’s all in the mindset”.
Dweck
happens when we do something and we become successful. Encouraged, we do it again and again until we have mastered it. this is the most effective way of boosting one’s self efficacy because they will
try to do something new if it is task that is similar to what they have already mastered. Part of achieving success in reaching our goals is to have self-efficacy through mastering
skills needed to achieve goal.
Mastery experience
This is the observation of the success and failures of others through modeling, who are
similar to one’s self.
Vicarious experience
The more people verbally encourage one, then the more likely the person’s efficacy will
increase. When one feels that others do believe in what he is capable of doing, then that
person can actually persuade himself that he can do it
Verbal Persuasion
When someone is contemplating on doing something, the emotional state of the person
will also have an influence in the success or failure of the task. When a person is anxious, stressed, worried and sacred, then this will negatively impact
the achievement of one’s goal. A person may feel so overly nervous that the performance will be affected and the person’s
doubt might increase. Once emotional stress is removed, then self-efficacy is improved
Somatic and Emotional States
this can be measured using IQ test
Fixed mindset
