Chapter 10

Social Cognitive Theory: This chapters main focus was on how people learn from observing others. By observing they see tasks that they are or are not capable of doing. social cognitive theory is in sense they way they you preseve yourself and your motivation to meet a goal. Goals need to be set that are attainable but not so that they do not make students grow. By reaching these goals students will see them selves in a postive way and will want to continue to do more either for them selves or for others approvoal. Students can self monitor so that they can step back and see where their strengths andweaknesses lie.
Understanding social cognitivisum we can help our students to see things in a more reachael way. students need reinforcemet and often times it is just they teachers approval that they need/want. We can help in developing the way our students preseve things. Let them reach goals and have a sense of self efficacy.
In my classroom I hope to model things in a good way so that my students will feel that they can do anything. I will apply motivation as well as reinforcement by them selves as well as from me. Students will do better if they have a sense of self in their road through their education.
