In the section over Teaching Toward Self-Efficacy And Self-Regulated Learning. It mentions how students need to be prepared for lifelong learning. Students must have a combination of of the knowledge, motivation to learn, and volition that provides skill and will to learn independently and effectively. After looking over Ron Clark's 55 Rules power point and looking at those videos it is pretty easy to see that he is trying to get kids to be be good individuals not just in school but for there entire lives.
The idea of convergences in theory of learning directly correlates to Fenwick English's postmodern educational view. The textbook suggests that we strive to consider the contributions of all learning theories to understanding learning and improving teaching rather than debating the merits of each and choosing a "best" approach (p. 369). We need to use exploratory thinking in researching learning theories rather than using one theory as a singular, independent source.
Chapter 10 talks about Volition and one of the research summaries that relate to it would be Character Education.
Volition is defined as to have will power and protecting opportunities to reach goals. Character Education is defined as being morally well behaved. The key connection would be responsibility between the two of them.
I believe that Rule 51, in Ron Clark's 55 Rules relates to self-regulation and self-directed teaching. They all tie together with the aspect of doing things without regret, obsticles in your way, and doing things you desire. If the posters presented on page 364 were present in a classroom where the teacher was absent I believe the students would know even more about the way they learn, and it would enhance the self-directed learning process. Also, the 2 posters in figure 10.4 would help the students assess their work as well as fight through the obsticals.
wade okay, an obvious one is modeling: Ron Clark's 55, although bulky, offer an amazing road map to simply 'showing' what a positive learning environment looks and sounds like. This modeling (first from him, then from the ripple models) affects cognitive theory (see Table 10.2, p.352). Can't help but mention how such modeling could soup up (the college word of the night): triarchic reciprocal causality!
Also, the students given a complex task as stated on page 367 will be able to use other materials to solve the problem or task through self-directed learning.
I think that self regulated learning has deep ties to Clark's 55 rules, If we as humans can regulate ourselves then learning can occur. I also think that by self regulation and self learning self respect will evolve as well. Most of Clark's rules connect to respect for others and therefore respect for ourselves. I also think their is a connection between learning appropriate behavior and learning appropriate self learning methods. They go hand and hand to me. If you can regulate your behavior then you can also regulate your own learning. JJ
I see a substantive connection with topic of self regulated learning and concept-based curriculum. The goal of self regulation is to prepare students for life-long learning. Through this process students use higher cognitive processing through analyzing tasks, setting goals and designing plans, engaging in learning, and adjusting their approach to learning. One connection with concept-based curriculum is the goal of this design is to produce work that engages the students and compels them to persist past the difficulties and the attainment of knowledge to the application of concepts. When students are challenged to the conceptual level of thinking they must analyze, set a goal, design a plan, engage,and adjust themselves in order to meet their goal.

Prompt #9 is now up. It's a bit easier.

ReplyDeleteNick, I agree they will learn to have volition in character education through perseverience and responsibility to strive for the best.
ReplyDeleteI also believe as Wade just said that the environment is key and this is something that may also be disucssed in character education as well.
