How might self-efficacy and self-regulation contribute to the intervention plans you use in your case study?
I think that self-efficacy and self-regulation will contribute greatly to the intervention plans I use in my case study.
Self-efficacy is important because it factors into a student's behavior. Lisa may have low self-efficacy, which could explain some of her behaviors. If a student doesn't feel that they are intelligent or have anything to contribute to classroom discussion, they won't try to do well, especially in group situations. Addressing Lisa's potentially low self-efficacy may make all the difference in this case study. If Lisa begins to realize that her contributions to her cooperative learning group are meaningful and valued, a lot of her behavioral issues and lack of group involvement will probably decrease.
Self-regulation can be effective in that it is an opportunity for the students to solve their own problems. In my previous PLE post, I mentioned that Lisa should set her own goals and that the cooperative group members can as well. In this way, the students take ownership of their learning and will be able to use self-regulation strategies to complete their assignments and meet their goals.
I agree I think that these are great ideas and i think it is hard to have self regulation until a child has a strong sense of self-efficacy.
