Study Notes
Managing and Caring for the Self
- Intended Learning Outcomes
- Understand theoretical underpinnings for managing different aspects of the self
- Gain and develop new skills for better self-management and behavior
- Apply new skills for improved quality of life
- Incorporate psychological insights into personal goal setting, reflecting on the goal-setting process
Major Exterior Parts of the Brain
- Frontal Lobe
- Thinking, planning, problem-solving
- Rational and executive control center
- Temporal Lobe
- Sound and visual recognition
- Speech center
- Occipital Lobe
- Interpreting visual presentation
- Parietal Lobe
- Spatial orientation
Major Interior Parts of the Brain
- Brain Stem
- Monitors and controls vital body functions (heartbeat, respiration, body temperature, digestion)
- Houses the reticular activating system (RAS), responsible for alertness
- Limbic System
- Emotion center of the brain
- Regulates emotions and motivates behavior
- Thalamus
- Receives all incoming information (except olfactory)
- Involves cognitive activities, including memory
- Hypothalamus
- Monitors internal systems by releasing necessary hormones
Major Interior Parts of the Brain
- Hippocampus
- Consolidates learning and converts information from working memory to long-term storage
- Amygdala
- Primarily responsible for regulating emotions, especially fear
- Cerebrum
- Largest part of the brain (80% of its weight)
- Controls thinking, memory, speech, and muscular movements
- Cerebellum
- Monitors impulses from nerve endings in muscles, important for complex motor tasks
Brain Cells
- Nerve cells (neurons): Functional core of the brain and entire nervous system
- Glial cells: Hold neurons together and act as filters, keeping harmful substances out of the neurons
How the Brain Processes Information
- Information Processing Model: Describes how the brain processes information
- Five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste) receive external stimuli
- Sensory stimuli become electrical impulses that travel along specific sensory pathways to the brain
- Sensory information is processed immediately in the sensory register, where it is quickly screened for importance
- Immediate Memory (STM): Data held for a short period (up to 30 seconds)
Information Processing Model (cont.)
- Working Memory (temporary memory): Holds information for a brief period, allowing individuals to build, take apart, or rework ideas
- Information is drawn from immediate memory or long-term memory
Long-Term Memory (LTM)
- Significant short-term memories transform into long-term memories
- Can be stored over long periods, and allows retrieval after a specific period
- Three types: Explicit (facts and events), Episodic (personal experiences), Implicit (skills and habits)
Hemisphere of the Brain
- Myth: People are either left-brained or right-brained.
- Fact: Most cognitive functions involve both hemispheres
- Left Hemisphere
- Language comprehension, speech production
- Logic and analytical thinking
- Sequencing
- Fine motor skills
- Mathematical and scientific skills
- Right Hemisphere
- Spatial and musical abilities
- Visual processing
- Holistic processing
- Creativity
- Imagination
- Emotional processing
- Gestalt processing
Metacognition and Study Strategies
- Metacognition: Awareness of, understanding, and regulation of one's own thinking and learning. Thinking about thinking.
- Importance of Metacognition
- Changes fixed versus growth mindset about learning abilities
- Increases student ownership and control of learning
- Develops more positive learning attitudes
- Improves academic and behavioral performance
Components of Metacognition
- Declarative knowledge: Knowledge about oneself, tasks, and strategies
- Procedural knowledge: Knowledge of how to use specific strategies for cognitive tasks
- Conditional knowledge: Knowledge of when and why to use particular strategies
Metacognitive Strategies
- Pre-assessment of content: Evaluating one's knowledge of the content before a learning task
- Helps gauge existing understanding, identify gaps, and tailor learning strategies accordingly
- Self-assessment or self-regulated learning: Critically evaluating one's ability to manage and control the learning process
- Reflection on learning habits, strengths, and weaknesses aids in setting realistic goals
- Think Aloud: Verbalizing thoughts, actions, and decision-making processes while engaging cognitively. Enhances self-awareness by monitoring cognitive processes
- Use of Concept Maps: Visually represents relationships between ideas, images, and words
- Activates prior knowledge, supports problem-solving, enhances understanding, and organises/revises knowledge
Classroom Assessment Tools
- Ticket-Out-The-Door: Students respond to class concepts in the last few minutes
- One-Minute Paper: Students reflect on the most important thing learned during class
- Muddiest Point: Students express what they didn't understand and how to improve understanding.
- Student-Generated Test Questions: Class divides into groups, creating questions and answers for the next test
- Memory Matrix: A two-dimensional chart to compare/contrast concepts.
- KWL Chart: Three charts (Know, Want to Know, Learned) to document existing knowledge, questions and learnings
- Directed Paraphrasing: Students translate learned concepts in simple terms, assess comprehension
- One-Sentence Summary: Students summarize a topic in a single sentence, identifying key features
- Think-Pair-Share: Students think individually, then pair to discuss
- Application Cards: Students apply learned concepts to real-world situations
- Classroom Opinion Polls: Students anonymously respond to questions, expressing opinions about a specific topic
Coping with Stress
- Coping: Cognitive and behavioral efforts to manage, tolerate, or reduce stress
- Types of Coping
- Problem-focused coping: Addressing the source of stress directly
- Emotion-focused coping: Managing emotional responses to stress
- Cognitive coping: Using conscious intellectual activities to manage stress situations
Self-Care and Compassion
- Self-care: Deliberate and conscious behaviors promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
- Self-compassion: Treating oneself kindly in the face of failure, mirroring the care given to loved ones
Components of Self-Compassion
- Self-kindness: Treating oneself with compassion instead of harsh criticism
- Common humanity: Acknowledging shared experiences of suffering
- Mindfulness: Attentively observing thoughts and feelings without judgment
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Hierarchy suggests individuals are motivated by a series of needs, ordered hierarchically
- Two categories:
- Deficiency needs: Physiological, safety, belongingness, and love, esteem
- Growth needs: Self-actualization (desire to become the best version of oneself)
Social and Cultural Dimensions of Stress
- Social stress: Mental/emotional strain due to adverse or demanding circumstances arising from social relationships
Stress and Sociological Perspective
- Three primary types of suicide, according to Emile Durkheim
- Egoistic: Detachment or isolation from society
- Altruistic: Sacrifice for community/higher cause
- Anomic: Breakdown of social norms and values
Additional Notes
- The presentation also includes:
- Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory
- Sources of self-efficacy (enactive mastery, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasions, emotional & physical states)
- Self-concept and its components (ideal self, self-image, self-esteem)
- Dweck's Growth Mindset (fixed vs. growth mindsets)
