Study Notes
Managing and Caring for the Self: Learning to Be a Better Learner
- Learning involves understanding, relating ideas, and making connections between prior and new knowledge, independent and critical thinking, and transferring knowledge to new contexts.
- Learning is not something done to students, but rather something students themselves do. It's the result of how students interpret and respond to their experiences.
Edward Thorndike's Primary Law of Learning
- Law of Readiness: Learning is influenced by the learner's eagerness and preparedness. Lack of readiness or motivation can hinder learning.
- Law of Exercise: Repetition and practice strengthen learning. Regular engagement with a concept leads to easier recall. Disuse or lack of repetition weakens retention.
- Law of Effect: Learning is strengthened when it's accompanied by a positive or satisfying feeling. Conversely, negative or unpleasant feelings weaken learning.
Carol Dweck's Psychology of Success
- Fixed Mindset: Individuals believe qualities like intelligence are fixed and unchangeable. They avoid challenges to protect their perceived abilities.
- Growth Mindset: Individuals believe qualities like intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. They see failure as an opportunity for growth.
Metacognition
- Metacognition involves "thinking about thinking." It includes self-appraisal (reflecting on one's knowledge and abilities) and self-management (using strategies to learn effectively).
- Metacognitive skills: Knowing your limits, modifying your approach, skimming, rehearsing, and self-testing are associated with effective learning.
- Strategies for developing metacognition include asking questions, reflecting on strategies, seeking mentors, thinking aloud, and viewing errors as learning opportunities.
- Four types of metacognitive learners: Tacit learners, aware learners, strategic learners, and reflective learners. These learners differ in how self-aware and strategic they are in their learning process. The goal of metacognition is to achieve self-regulated learning.
Goal Setting
- Life goals are important for motivation, direction, and achievement. They should be based on one's values and ambitions.
- Effective goal setting involves creating clarity, setting challenging yet realistic goals, making commitments, receiving feedback, and recognizing task complexity.
- Goals are classified as short-term (within six months), medium-term (7 months to 1 year), and long-term (more than one year).
- Goals benefit from the "SMART" criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Mental Health and Wellbeing
- Mental health is a state of well-being, where individuals can use their abilities to cope with life's stresses.
- Factors that influence one's level of wellbeing: environment, safety and security, purpose, community, relationships, mental-health, and physical-health.
- Stressors, such as financial or school/work related issues, family matters, or social pressures can cause adverse reactions that are identified as stress.
- Coping mechanisms – healthy or unhealthy – are tools for managing stress.
- Wellbeing is crucial for overall health and happiness. Stress can impact physical and mental health. It's important to both manage and address any possible chronic stresses.
