  1. Elaboration Learning French Hunter McCall EDPS 457 7:00 Daniel Abbott

  2. story • Last spring, I had proposed to my French fiancé. After this, I spent two significant amounts of time in France, all of last summer and I had “permanently” moved there in October, plus a few 10-day trips to Paris. Previous to being there, I had only a single lesson of Rosetta stone and snippets of vocabulary learned from only a few online classes. Since I would soon be married (and indirectly a French citizen), I knew that learning French would be a crucial step to my full citizenship. When the time came for me to “move” there, learning French became the most important priority before moving on in any other way for my new life.

  3. Modeling • Modeling-process by which an observer observes an expert or peer performing a task and then performs the task themself • Motivation-Inner state that energizes, directs, and sustains behavior • Expert/peer

  4. Modeling • Numerous models • Expert • Peer

  5. Motivation • My motivation was survival • Without learning French, I would not be able to work, attend school, or even become a French citizen

  6. How was my motivation to learn affected by my situation? • How did models increase my learning? • Was my fiancé a peer or expert model?

  7. Self-efficacy • Self-efficacy-belief that one is capable of executing certain behaviors or reaching certain goals • Initiation • Resilience-belief that on can perform a task successfully even after experiencing setbacks • Self-regulation-process of setting goals for oneself and engaging in behaviors and cognitive processes that lead to goal attainment

  8. Self-efficacy • Complete inability to learn without it • Have high self-efficacy for language learning (Spanish, French, Japanese) • Intrinsic and Extrinsic

  9. Initiation and Resilience • Without belief I COULD, I wouldn’t start studying • Difficult language to learn, but more than enough motivation to keep going

  10. Self-regulation • All on me

  11. How did relying on only myself affect my ability? • How was my self-efficacy affected by using only self-teaching materials and having a “living dictionary” instead of proper instruction?

  12. Memory • Meaningful learning-cognitive process in which learners relate new information to things they already know • Encoding-Changing the format of new information as it is being stored in memory • Long-term memory-Component of memory that holds knowledge and skills for a relatively long time

  13. Meaningful Learning • All meaningful learning-I needed it • If it wasn’t meaningful, I would forget it

  14. Encoding • Needed proper encoding • Had to use various methods to ensure

  15. Long-term Memory • About 60% of the lessons never made it past working memory • Repeat 7 times

  16. What was the best way to enforce the meaningful learning, encoding, and long-term memory storage? • Did I learn it better by full immersion or would proper instruction have been a better tool?
