What is Self Regulation • Directing and controlling one’s own actions. • How do students learn to do this (the way we want them to)?
SUBFUNCTIONS OF SELF-REGULATION • SELF-OBSERVATION - self-monitoring (book) • Self Instruction:“Self-talk” • Self Evaluation - referential comparison- causal attribution • SELF-REACTION • -self-satisfaction, self-worth, distress – adaptive/defensive
TYPES OF SELF-REGULATION ENVIRONMENTAL SELF-REGULATION Monitoring and adjusting your environment BEHAVIORAL SELF-REGULATION Monitoring and adjusting your behavior COVERT SELF-REGULATION Monitoring and adjusting your head
TYPES OF SELF-REGULATION ENVIRONMENTAL SELF-REGULATION Monitoring and adjusting environmental conditions • arrange a place to study where you won’t be interrupted • find effective models, tutors, or helpers • create a personal library • organize your study area and materials • select appropriate study materials and instruments • attend to environmental features (lighting, mood, noise) • computer screen? printer? keyboard? chair? mouse?
TYPES OF SELF-REGULATION BEHAVIORAL SELF-REGULATION Monitoring and adjusting performance processes • keep a journal • finish assignments by deadlines • study when there are other interesting things to do • take effective notes, make effective notations in text, outline • “engage” academic material • plan and organize the work that needs to be done • seek help when needed
TYPES OF SELF-REGULATION COVERT SELF-REGULATION Monitoring and adjusting cognitive/affective states • concentrate on academic material • remember information presented in class or in texts • estimate and budget your time • set goals (proximal vs distal) • select appropriate criteria for judging quality of work • make accurate causal attributions • assess your self-efficacy, self-esteem, achievement goals • assess your needs, desires, satisfactions, fears, concerns
Autonomous Self Regulation • External Regulation • Will do something to avoid punishment or receive rewards. • Introjected regulation • Will do something out of guilt or obligation. • Identified regulation • Will do something because it will help them reach their own goals (getting good grades in math to get into business school). • Integrated regulation (not intrinsic, but close enough) • Will do something because it fits within their sense of self “this is the kind of thing a person like me does” – I study because I am a “good student”. • Note: This type of regulation – is all about the development of the self – and identity!
Rotter • Peoples generalized beliefs about the contingency of reinforcement • Rotter focuses on people beliefs about what causes them to receive or not receive rewards. • Internal vs. External
Weiner • Weiner extended Rotter and argued that attributions could be categorized along THREE dimensions: • Controllable v. Uncontrollable • Internal v. External • Stable v. Unstable
