Chapter 10 Case Study

1. Which teacher in the scenario demonstrates vicarious reinforcement? Justify your response with an example from the case study.
Ms. Yamashita. She is positively reinforcing Robin for her concept map and making copies of it for other students to use. Robin received praise, and other students will most likely respond to this and act in similar ways as Robin to hopefully receive the same treatment.

2. Is Mr. Kessinger considering reciprocal causation in his class? Explain your response, including all aspects of reciprocal causation in your reasoning.
No he is not. The classroom and the teacher are supposed to create a safe, learning environment for the student to come to. He was creating an intimidating environment in which students were scared to enter, and that will influence their learning and behavior.

3. Which self-regulated learning process is Robin engaging in when she creates her concept maps? Explain your reasoning.
She is setting goals for herself by creating the concept map. She is learning by doing it, and it is helping her fully understand the material, therefore, reaching her goal.

4. How you think Robin's self-efficacy has been affected by this experience. Be specific about which self-efficacies have been affected and justify your response with examples from the case study.do
I believe she is confused about what is acceptable. She created the concept map for herself, to help her understand. It was liked by one teacher and the other teacher did not approve. She is probably confused because she thought her concept map was a good tool, but there was disagreement among the teachers, resulting in a different self-constructed judgment.
