Study Notes
Influence of Schooling on Self-Concept
- Schools shape students' understanding of themselves and their future, both positively and negatively
- Academic success strengthens self-concept, which in turn impacts academic performance
Mechanisms of Influence
- Behavioral: School activities (social/academic) impact self-development
- Cognitive: Learning, collaboration, and competition (inside and outside school) influence cognitive processing
- Emotional and Physiological: Stress, motivation, and emotional regulation in school affect self-concept
Academic Self: Developmental Perspectives
- Self-concept is central to psychological and philosophical discussions of identity
- Understanding self-concept is key to exploring motivation, personality, and overall well-being
- Models of self-concept debate whether it's a single or multiple dimensional construct (e.g., academic, social, emotional, physical)
Self-Concept as a Fundamental Psychological Need
- Self-concept affects daily life, cognition, and behavior across ages and cultures
- Self-perception is affected by interactions with others
Self-Concept and Academic Achievement
- Self-concept and ability are reciprocally related.
- Temporal, external/internal, and dimensional comparisons affect self-concept, reflecting actual ability.
Self-concept and Academic Achievement (Reciprocal Effects Model)
- A reciprocal relationship is observed between academic self-concept and achievement over time.
The big-fish-little-pond effect
- Highlights how school average achievement negatively impacts academic self-concept for high achievers.
Self-Concept and Academic Achievement (Internal/External Frame of Reference)
- Academic self-concept is influenced by comparisons to internal standards (e.g. personal best) and external standards (e.g. class averages).
- This comparison affects self-concept in different domains.
Educational Systems and Cultural Norms
- Variations in educational approaches (e.g., competitive to collaborative cultures) shape self-concept differently across cultures.
- Cultural expectations about achievement influence self-concept and identity formation.
Goals, Goals Orientations & Theories of Intelligence
- Goal orientations relate to activities, events, and states individuals pursue, including desired outcomes, actions, and consequences
- Achievement goal theory explains achievement-related student responses and actions based on identifying students’ goals during achievement settings, like demonstrating or increasing competence.
- Two theories related to intelligence are entity theory (static/unchangeable) and incremental theory (changeable).
Self-Determination Theory
- Self-determination theory is a macro-theory of human motivation encompassing 6 mini-theories.
- Three basic psychological needs are autonomy, competence and relatedness
- Types of motivation are defined based on degree of self-determination (amotivation, external, introjection, identification, integrated, and intrinsic)
Digital Technologies and Education: Implications for Motivation
- The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the uptake of digital technologies in education;
- Rethinking education in the digital age—digital competencies are important in a pandemic and in general;
- Digital technologies make education more attractive with opportunities for students to develop digital skills, more diverse learning experiences and support for special needs while enhancing social interaction.
Expectancy-Value Perspectives on Motivation
- Expectancy-value theory (Eccles et al., 1983) posits that student motivation is a function of two key factors, namely: expectancy for success and subjective task values.
- These factors are influenced by distal and proximal factors – cultural norms, beliefs, and values of socializing agents as well as student perceptions of task demands amongst others.
