1. The strategies that Mr. Corbet uses to teach his students appropriate school behavior are most consistent with which two theories/theorists that we have learned about so far this semester? Justify your response.
-Erikson's Industry vs. Inferiority comes into play with this example. Mindy is scared because everything is new to her and she does not want the teacher to get upset with her. When she was about to point her finger she remembered the teachers saying that was not polite so she changed her actions to be more pleasing to him. Piaget also shows that the way you talk and act towards the kids show them the correct way to behave. He does not get mad at the kids for running to the door he just states how wonderful the students walking are doing and says they are ready for kindergarten. Well all of the kids want to be praised and so they all do exactly what is told.
2. Describe one incident in the case study that represents vicarious reinforcement. Explain your reasoning.
- Like I stated in number one, students like to be praised and so when you praise students others will follow that behavior hoping for the same reaction. This will help them learn the rules and your expectations as a teacher.
3. Describe one incident in the case study that represents vicarious punishment. Explain your reasoning.
- Showing the example of pointing is rude was a way of telling him not to do it again, but it showed the other students the correct way to act in that situation.
4. Do you think Mindy has low or high self-efficacy with regard to appropriate kindergarten behavior? Justify your response with examples from the case.
- I think she has high self-efficacy beacuse she sees the good examples pointed out by Mr. Corbet and she acts as those students did to make sure she is following the rules and directions.
