IQ tests account for 40-50% of school achievement What accounts for the other 50-60 % of school achievement? How can half of all individuals, at any IQ level, achieve above their IQ score ? What are the  untapped achievement “levers”  for some of our students?

Spearman on “conative” abilities (1927) “ The process of cognition cannot possibly be treated apart from those of  conation and affection , seeing that all these are but inseparable aspects in the instincts and behavior of a single individual, who himself, as the vary name implies, is essentially indivisible” (p. 2)
“ When our scales measure the  nonintellective  as well as the intellectual factors in intelligence, they will more nearly measure what in actual life corresponds to  intelligent behavior ” (p. 103) David Wechsler (1944) on  “Non-intellective factors”
“ The tendency to take and maintain a definite direction; the capacity to make adaptations for the purpose of attaining a desired end; and the power of auto-criticism” (translation by Terman, 1916, p. 45).  All three of these phrases refer at least as much to  conative processes and attitudes  as to reasoning powers.  Binet's concept of intelligence was much like Snow's concept of aptitudes (p. 5).

Academic motivation An individuals  desire  (as reflected in approach, persistence, and level of interest) regarding academic subjects when the individuals competence is judged against a  standard of performance or excellence . Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Need for Achievement Theory
Intrinsic motivation A person does an activity for the  sake of doing   it —for the enjoyment, fun or pleasure Not  because it will produce a reward Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Intrinsic Motivation, Self-Determination & Self-Worth Theory
Academic goal orientation Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Goal & Self-Worth Theory An individuals set of beliefs that reflect the  reasons  they approach and engage in academic and learning tasks. Two general types: Learning goal orientation Performance goal orientation
Academic goal orientation A  performance   goal orientation reflects a focus on: Concern for personal ability  Social comparison with others  Concern for perception of others  Desire for public recognition  Need to avoid looking incompetent
Academic goal orientation A  learning   goal orientation reflects a focus on:  Task completion Understanding Learning Mastery Solving problems  Developing new skills
Academic goal orientation:  Performance goals A  performance goal orientation  is often associated with  maladaptive  learning behaviors which include:   Hiding self-perceived incompetence Self-handicapping Greater worry and anxiety  Increased behavior problems  A concern for establishing superiority relative to others (continued…)
Academic goal orientation: Performance goals A focus on obtaining grades for grades'  sake or other external reasons,  Less adaptive subsequent motivation,  Negative self-evaluations and affect,  Poorer and disorganized strategy use Poorer academic performance.
Academic goal orientation: Learning goals A   learning goal orientation  is associated with more  adaptive  learning behaviors:  Positive affect (e.g., pride and satisfaction) Higher levels of efficacy, interest, task effort and engagement The use of more creative and deep self-regulatory learning strategies Better academic performance.
Academic goal orientation: Learning goals In general, students maintain a more positive and optimistic outlook, persevere, and demonstrate the ability to be flexible in their problem solving strategies.
Academic goal setting An individual’s ability to set, prioritize and monitor progress towards appropriate and realistic short-(proximal) and long-term (distal) academic goals that serve to direct attention, effort, energy and persistence toward goal-relevant activities (and away from goal-irrelevant activities).   Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Goal Setting Theory
Academic goal setting Ability to set, prioritize and monitor progress towards short-term & long-term academic goals  Direct attention & energy toward goal-relevant activities Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Goal Setting Theory
Academic interests & attitudes An individual’s relatively  stable or enduring predisposition , positive affective orientation, and tendency to persevere when working on certain specific academic content or task domains. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Interest Theory
Academic interests & attitudes Tendency to persevere when working on specific academic tasks Stable or  enduring predisposition ; positive affective orientation Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Interest Theory
Academic self-concept An individual’s perception of  self-efficacy  in academic subjects  Grounded primarily in  self-worth  theory
Academic self-concept External frames of reference  include  comparisons with school/class  averages or other learners.  An  internal frame of reference  includes  comparisons with self  in different academic domains at a given time, comparisons with self in the same academic domain across time, and comparisons to self-generated goals and aspirations.
Academic self-concept Self-concept  is a  general  view of self across  many areas of one’s life and abilities. Academic   self-concept is one’s perception of  their own ability and satisfaction in  academic  subjects. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-Worth Theory
Academic self-concept Self-concept  is an individual’s  general composite view of self , based on self-knowledge and evaluation of value or worth of ones own capabilities, across a multidimensional set of domain specific-perceptions.  Academic self-concept  is an individual’s perception of self-efficacy and satisfaction in academic subjects. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-Worth Theory
Academic self-concept Self-concept  is related to: Positive social development,  Ethnic identity development,  Positive peer and parent interactions and relationships,  Insulation against the development of a deviant identity and delinquent and problem behaviors,  Less anxiety and depression, and  Greater satisfaction with life.
Academic self-concept Self-concept has been consistently linked to  academic outcomes : Believed to influence  future  academic motivation Academic self-concept is more consistently correlated with  grades  and less consistently correlated with  test scores .   Grades are believed to be more influenced by motivation and volition
Academic self-concept Big-fish-little-pond effect “ learners compare their own academic ability with that of their  peers  and then use this  social comparison impression  as one basis for the formation of their academic self-concept”  (Byrne, 2002).
Academic self-concept Big-fish-little-pond effect •  When the average reference group is  higher   in ability, learners often experience a  decrease  in academic self-concept  •  T he less capable learners judge themselves as less capable than their more competent peers
Academic self-concept Learners with learning disabilities frequently (and spontaneously) compare themselves to their non-disabled peers, and see themselves as “less-than” These learners display decreases in academic self-concept over time  Learners with learning disabilities may make  relatively accurate self-evaluations  of their personal strengths and weaknesses
Academic self-concept Learners with learning disabilities, in general, may display academic self-concepts approximately  1.3 standard deviations lower  than learners without disabilities.  Academic self-concept may vary as a function of the specific education setting of the learner with a learning disability.
Academic self-concept Clearly, some learners with  learning disabilities  pay a high emotional and social price for their poor achievement (Gresham, 1988).  Samples of college learners with learning disabilities report lower academic self-concepts when compared to their university peers.
Academic self-concept The adverse impact of repeated academic failure can result in: Defensive pessimism:   Maintaining unrealistically low expectations for success; discounting the importance and importance of success Self-worth protection:   A general approach of not expending effort so that failure can be attributed to ambiguous causes rather than personal inadequacies Self-handicapping:   Creating an impediment that serves as an excuse for possible failure—e.g., procrastination, poor health.
Academic self-concept Defensive self-protection strategies  may lead to: •  Poor and inconsistent long-term achievement,  •  Lower academic interest and motivation,  •  Negative affective consequences (e.g., increased anxiety, decreased life satisfaction), and  •  Less self-regulated learning.   It has been suggested that defensive  failure-avoidant strategies  may be most prevalent in   competitive  (vs. cooperative) learning environments.

"Can I do this activity?"
Academic values An individual’s desire, preference, or “wanting” for certain academic goals and outcomes. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Interest Theory

"Can I do this activity?"
Locus of control An individual’s belief about the  perceived causes  (internal vs. external) for their success or failure.   Internal   attribution orientation is present when an individual perceives their success or failure as contingent on their own behavior and due to relatively permanent personal characteristics. External   orientation is present when success or failure is perceived as being under the control of others, unpredictable, and the result of luck, chance or fate.   Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-efficacy & Attribution Theories
Locus of control Belief about the perceived causes for their success or failure.  An  internal   attribution:  when perceived  success or failure as contingent on  behavior and due to  permanent personal  characteristics .  Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-efficacy & Attribution Theories
Locus of control Level of internality is correlated with  academic achievement  (teacher grades and tests) and the degree of effort a learner invests in free-time intellectual and learning activities.     High internals  are better able to defer gratification, adopt a long-term future-oriented perspective, and are more persistent when faced with difficult and challenging tasks.
Locus of control An  external   orientation:  when perceived   success or failure is under the control of others, unpredictable, and the result of luck, chance or fate.
Locus of control Learners with  mental retardation  may display an  external  locus of control associated with: Learned helplessness Lower levels of personal responsibility, self-reliance, and self-regulated learning
Academic self-efficacy Confidence in ability  to organize, do, and  control performance to solve a problem  or accomplish a task Academic   self-efficacy is a  conviction  that one  can successfully achieve at a designated  level in a specific academic domain.   Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Control Theory
Academic self-efficacy An individuals confidence in their ability to organize, execute and regulate performance in order to solve a problem or accomplish a task at a designated level of competence.  Academic self-efficacy  refers to an individual's conviction that they can successfully achieve at a designated level in a specific academic domain.   Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Control Theory
Academic self-efficacy Academic outcome expectations  are a learner’s beliefs that specific behaviors will lead to certain outcomes (e.g., “If I do homework my grades will improve”).  Academic efficacy expectations  are a learner’s beliefs in their ability to perform the necessary behaviors to produce a certain outcome (e.g., “I have enough motivation to study hard for this test”).
Academic self-efficacy Of all the “self” constructs,  self-efficacy  may be the  most important  and powerful for predicting and explaining specific behavior and outcomes.
Academic self-efficacy It is a relatively  narrow and pure  construct that does not include the intermixing of other “self” constructs (e.g., competence, esteem)  Research suggests it is easier to change a learner’s self-efficacy toward  specific  academic domains than it is to change a learner’s  general  self-concept .
Academic self-efficacy Associated with a broad range  of positive outcomes: Academic achievements,  Athletic performance,  Social skills,  Career choices and aspirations,  Efficient study habits,  Pain tolerance,  Coping with feared events, and  Recovery from heart attacks
Academic self-efficacy Academic self-efficacy has demonstrated a  significant  causal influence  on:   Academic motivation,  Learning,  Achievement vis-à-vis a learner’s effort,  Cognitive engagement,  Use of self-regulatory strategies,  Goal setting and pursuit,  Adoption of a learning goal orientation,  Higher intrinsic motivation,  Persistence,  Self-esteem, and  Expectation of future success
Academic self-efficacy Positive self-efficacy by itself, will not produce competent performance in the  absence  of pre-requisite skills and knowledge (Wentzel, 1999).
Academic self-efficacy A learner’s  initial  sense of academic self-efficacy develops largely via a function of similar prior learning experiences and perceived ability on similar tasks.  Academic self-efficacy is subsequently  refined  through continued success and/or failure on similar tasks and feedback from the environment .
Academic self-efficacy High levels of learner competition  encourage academic self-efficacy: •  Norm and social-referenced grading,  •  Effort-based progress feedback has been associated with detrimental effects on self-efficacy, particularly among low achieving learners.  These instructional and environmental variables share a common focus of  providing information to the learner about their abilities and progress.
Academic self-efficacy Positive and caring learning environments that provide accurate feedback and praise foster the development of accurate self-efficacy beliefs.
Academic ability conception Social normative  grading and evaluation systems tend to: Foster the more vulnerable and maladaptive view of academic ability as a  fixed  trait.  Learners with an  entity  view of academic abilities tend to choose the less desirable academic  performance  goal orientation rather than a  learning  goal orientation (which is associated with the  incremental  view of abilities).
Academic ability conception An individual’s beliefs, self-evaluation and self-awareness regarding their academic-related skills and abilities.   Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Calderalla & Merrell (1997) literature review-based empirical taxonomy
Academic ability conception Even  young children  show clear signs of impairment when they encounter a series of salient, visible failures (such as jigsaw puzzles they cannot complete) or when they meet with criticism for their performance” (Dweck, 2002)  Buffering  young children, particularly those at risk for significant and powerful early learning failure experiences (e.g., learners with disabilities), would appear to be an important educational goal.
Academic ability conception At the  7-8  year level of developmental functioning,  significant changes  in ability conception occur  At this age ability conceptions become defined more as an internal quality, more consistent with external sources (adults), and is the result of greater self-criticism and  social normative comparisons
Academic ability conception Two general ability conceptions  emerge at approximately the 7-8 year developmental level and become crystallized at approximately the 10-12 year level. •  T rait-oriented system :  where learners’ view their abilities as relatively  fixed  internal quantities  •  P rocess-oriented system :  focuses on the view that ability can be developed and that  effort and strategies are important  for success
Academic ability conception Children with  learning disabilities  show an increased probability of effort-avoidance   •  May view any attempt at increasing effort as risky  •  Increased effort that results in failure can only reinforce the belief that “I am dumb.”

Self-regulated learning Helping all children become adaptive self-regulated learners appears to be a good thing Helping learners develop monitoring and control strategies should be a focus of part of most children’s educational careers.  These processes and strategies typically develop (more-or-less) automatically as a result of  indirect learning
Self-regulated learning Just because a student is capable of using self-regulated learning skills doesn’t mean he/she will use them. •  Some prompting by teachers helps, especially for younger students
Self-regulated learning SRL  use has been associated with higher  working memory functioning  (and associated processes of attention and executive control) and a well developed  network of prior knowledge  in the domain of learning.  Young learners and learners with disabilities may have special difficulties with SRL techniques.  They are not able to  “free up”  as much working memory for the task.
Self-regulated learning SRL  may be based on a limited set of cognitive resources that can be  depleted  over time.  This suggests that periods of rest, or periods of unrelated task activity, may be necessary to  replenish  the store of SRL energy.
Self-regulated learning Becoming distracted by other thoughts (avoidance behaviors)  may interfere with SRL Watching TV Negative feelings and emotions Frustration

Beyond IQ: Model of Academic Competence and Motivation (MACM)

  • 1. Model of Academic Competence and Motivation (MACM) Overview and Definitions Kevin S. McGrew. Ph.D. Educational Psychologist Director Institute for Applied Psychometrics (www.iapsych.com)
  • 2. The current slides supplement the on-line background paper “ Beyond IQ: A Model of Academic Competence and Motivation ” (Kevin McGrew, 2008), which is presented in the form of an Institute for Applied Psychometrics (IAP) Evolving Web of Knowledge (EWOK). All materials are part of the Beyond IQ Project , which is housed at IQ’s Corner Blog www.intelligencetesting.blogspot.com http://tinyurl.com/3ygdsw Updates and announcements can be found by routinely monitoring IQ’s Corner Blog. These slides can be used without permission for educational and training purposes (not commercial use or for-profit activities)
  • 3. IQ tests account for 40-50% of school achievement What accounts for the other 50-60 % of school achievement? How can half of all individuals, at any IQ level, achieve above their IQ score ? What are the untapped achievement “levers” for some of our students?

  • 10. Consumers expectations do not stop at the door of academic achievement High quality education should teach young people to: Interact in socially skilled and respectful ways Practice positive, safe, and healthy behaviors Contribute ethically and responsibly to their peer group, family, school, and community Possess basic competencies, work habits, and values as a foundation for meaningful employment and engaged citizenship (Greenberg et al., 2003, p. 467)

  • 13. Walberg’s theory of educational productivity (simplified)
  • 14. Spearman on “conative” abilities (1927) “ The process of cognition cannot possibly be treated apart from those of conation and affection , seeing that all these are but inseparable aspects in the instincts and behavior of a single individual, who himself, as the vary name implies, is essentially indivisible” (p. 2)
  • 15. “ When our scales measure the nonintellective as well as the intellectual factors in intelligence, they will more nearly measure what in actual life corresponds to intelligent behavior ” (p. 103) David Wechsler (1944) on “Non-intellective factors”
  • 16. “ The tendency to take and maintain a definite direction; the capacity to make adaptations for the purpose of attaining a desired end; and the power of auto-criticism” (translation by Terman, 1916, p. 45). All three of these phrases refer at least as much to conative processes and attitudes as to reasoning powers. Binet's concept of intelligence was much like Snow's concept of aptitudes (p. 5).

  • 32. Academic motivation An individuals desire (as reflected in approach, persistence, and level of interest) regarding academic subjects when the individuals competence is judged against a standard of performance or excellence . Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Need for Achievement Theory
  • 33. Intrinsic motivation A person does an activity for the sake of doing it —for the enjoyment, fun or pleasure Not because it will produce a reward Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Intrinsic Motivation, Self-Determination & Self-Worth Theory
  • 34. Academic goal orientation Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Goal & Self-Worth Theory An individuals set of beliefs that reflect the reasons they approach and engage in academic and learning tasks. Two general types: Learning goal orientation Performance goal orientation
  • 35. Academic goal orientation A performance goal orientation reflects a focus on: Concern for personal ability Social comparison with others Concern for perception of others Desire for public recognition Need to avoid looking incompetent
  • 36. Academic goal orientation A learning goal orientation reflects a focus on: Task completion Understanding Learning Mastery Solving problems Developing new skills
  • 37. Academic goal orientation: Performance goals A performance goal orientation is often associated with maladaptive learning behaviors which include: Hiding self-perceived incompetence Self-handicapping Greater worry and anxiety Increased behavior problems A concern for establishing superiority relative to others (continued…)
  • 38. Academic goal orientation: Performance goals A focus on obtaining grades for grades' sake or other external reasons, Less adaptive subsequent motivation, Negative self-evaluations and affect, Poorer and disorganized strategy use Poorer academic performance.
  • 39. Academic goal orientation: Learning goals A learning goal orientation is associated with more adaptive learning behaviors: Positive affect (e.g., pride and satisfaction) Higher levels of efficacy, interest, task effort and engagement The use of more creative and deep self-regulatory learning strategies Better academic performance.
  • 40. Academic goal orientation: Learning goals In general, students maintain a more positive and optimistic outlook, persevere, and demonstrate the ability to be flexible in their problem solving strategies.
  • 41. Academic goal setting An individual’s ability to set, prioritize and monitor progress towards appropriate and realistic short-(proximal) and long-term (distal) academic goals that serve to direct attention, effort, energy and persistence toward goal-relevant activities (and away from goal-irrelevant activities). Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Goal Setting Theory
  • 42. Academic goal setting Ability to set, prioritize and monitor progress towards short-term & long-term academic goals Direct attention & energy toward goal-relevant activities Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Goal Setting Theory
  • 43. Academic interests & attitudes An individual’s relatively stable or enduring predisposition , positive affective orientation, and tendency to persevere when working on certain specific academic content or task domains. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Interest Theory
  • 44. Academic interests & attitudes Tendency to persevere when working on specific academic tasks Stable or enduring predisposition ; positive affective orientation Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Interest Theory
  • 45. Academic self-concept An individual’s perception of self-efficacy in academic subjects Grounded primarily in self-worth theory
  • 46. Academic self-concept External frames of reference include comparisons with school/class averages or other learners. An internal frame of reference includes comparisons with self in different academic domains at a given time, comparisons with self in the same academic domain across time, and comparisons to self-generated goals and aspirations.
  • 47. Academic self-concept Self-concept is a general view of self across many areas of one’s life and abilities. Academic self-concept is one’s perception of their own ability and satisfaction in academic subjects. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-Worth Theory
  • 48. Academic self-concept Self-concept is an individual’s general composite view of self , based on self-knowledge and evaluation of value or worth of ones own capabilities, across a multidimensional set of domain specific-perceptions. Academic self-concept is an individual’s perception of self-efficacy and satisfaction in academic subjects. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-Worth Theory
  • 49. Academic self-concept Self-concept is related to: Positive social development, Ethnic identity development, Positive peer and parent interactions and relationships, Insulation against the development of a deviant identity and delinquent and problem behaviors, Less anxiety and depression, and Greater satisfaction with life.
  • 50. Academic self-concept Self-concept has been consistently linked to academic outcomes : Believed to influence future academic motivation Academic self-concept is more consistently correlated with grades and less consistently correlated with test scores . Grades are believed to be more influenced by motivation and volition
  • 51. Academic self-concept Big-fish-little-pond effect “ learners compare their own academic ability with that of their peers and then use this social comparison impression as one basis for the formation of their academic self-concept” (Byrne, 2002).
  • 52. Academic self-concept Big-fish-little-pond effect • When the average reference group is higher in ability, learners often experience a decrease in academic self-concept • T he less capable learners judge themselves as less capable than their more competent peers
  • 53. Academic self-concept Learners with learning disabilities frequently (and spontaneously) compare themselves to their non-disabled peers, and see themselves as “less-than” These learners display decreases in academic self-concept over time Learners with learning disabilities may make relatively accurate self-evaluations of their personal strengths and weaknesses
  • 54. Academic self-concept Learners with learning disabilities, in general, may display academic self-concepts approximately 1.3 standard deviations lower than learners without disabilities. Academic self-concept may vary as a function of the specific education setting of the learner with a learning disability.
  • 55. Academic self-concept Clearly, some learners with learning disabilities pay a high emotional and social price for their poor achievement (Gresham, 1988). Samples of college learners with learning disabilities report lower academic self-concepts when compared to their university peers.
  • 56. Academic self-concept The adverse impact of repeated academic failure can result in: Defensive pessimism: Maintaining unrealistically low expectations for success; discounting the importance and importance of success Self-worth protection: A general approach of not expending effort so that failure can be attributed to ambiguous causes rather than personal inadequacies Self-handicapping: Creating an impediment that serves as an excuse for possible failure—e.g., procrastination, poor health.
  • 57. Academic self-concept Defensive self-protection strategies may lead to: • Poor and inconsistent long-term achievement, • Lower academic interest and motivation, • Negative affective consequences (e.g., increased anxiety, decreased life satisfaction), and • Less self-regulated learning. It has been suggested that defensive failure-avoidant strategies may be most prevalent in competitive (vs. cooperative) learning environments.
  • 58. Orientations Towards Self (Motivations) Motivational Orientation Self- Beliefs Interests & Attitudes - Academic motivation - Intrinsic motivation - Academic goal orientation - Academic goal setting - Locus of Control - Academic self- efficacy - Academic self- concept - Academic ability conception - Academic interests & attitudes - Academic values "Do I want to do this activity and why?" "Can I do this activity?"
  • 59. Academic values An individual’s desire, preference, or “wanting” for certain academic goals and outcomes. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Interest Theory
  • 60. Orientations Towards Self (Motivations) Motivational Orientation Self- Beliefs Interests & Attitudes - Academic motivation - Intrinsic motivation - Academic goal orientation - Academic goal setting - Locus of Control - Academic self- efficacy - Academic self- concept - Academic ability conception - Academic interests & attitudes - Academic values "Do I want to do this activity and why?" "Can I do this activity?"
  • 61. Locus of control An individual’s belief about the perceived causes (internal vs. external) for their success or failure. Internal attribution orientation is present when an individual perceives their success or failure as contingent on their own behavior and due to relatively permanent personal characteristics. External orientation is present when success or failure is perceived as being under the control of others, unpredictable, and the result of luck, chance or fate. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-efficacy & Attribution Theories
  • 62. Locus of control Belief about the perceived causes for their success or failure. An internal attribution: when perceived success or failure as contingent on behavior and due to permanent personal characteristics . Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Self-efficacy & Attribution Theories
  • 63. Locus of control Level of internality is correlated with academic achievement (teacher grades and tests) and the degree of effort a learner invests in free-time intellectual and learning activities.  High internals are better able to defer gratification, adopt a long-term future-oriented perspective, and are more persistent when faced with difficult and challenging tasks.
  • 64. Locus of control An external orientation: when perceived success or failure is under the control of others, unpredictable, and the result of luck, chance or fate.
  • 65. Locus of control Learners with mental retardation may display an external locus of control associated with: Learned helplessness Lower levels of personal responsibility, self-reliance, and self-regulated learning
  • 66. Academic self-efficacy Confidence in ability to organize, do, and control performance to solve a problem or accomplish a task Academic self-efficacy is a conviction that one can successfully achieve at a designated level in a specific academic domain. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Control Theory
  • 67. Academic self-efficacy An individuals confidence in their ability to organize, execute and regulate performance in order to solve a problem or accomplish a task at a designated level of competence. Academic self-efficacy refers to an individual's conviction that they can successfully achieve at a designated level in a specific academic domain. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Control Theory
  • 68. Academic self-efficacy Academic outcome expectations are a learner’s beliefs that specific behaviors will lead to certain outcomes (e.g., “If I do homework my grades will improve”). Academic efficacy expectations are a learner’s beliefs in their ability to perform the necessary behaviors to produce a certain outcome (e.g., “I have enough motivation to study hard for this test”).
  • 69. Academic self-efficacy Of all the “self” constructs, self-efficacy may be the most important and powerful for predicting and explaining specific behavior and outcomes.
  • 70. Academic self-efficacy It is a relatively narrow and pure construct that does not include the intermixing of other “self” constructs (e.g., competence, esteem) Research suggests it is easier to change a learner’s self-efficacy toward specific academic domains than it is to change a learner’s general self-concept .
  • 71. Academic self-efficacy Associated with a broad range of positive outcomes: Academic achievements, Athletic performance, Social skills, Career choices and aspirations, Efficient study habits, Pain tolerance, Coping with feared events, and Recovery from heart attacks
  • 72. Academic self-efficacy Academic self-efficacy has demonstrated a significant causal influence on: Academic motivation, Learning, Achievement vis-à-vis a learner’s effort, Cognitive engagement, Use of self-regulatory strategies, Goal setting and pursuit, Adoption of a learning goal orientation, Higher intrinsic motivation, Persistence, Self-esteem, and Expectation of future success
  • 73. Academic self-efficacy Positive self-efficacy by itself, will not produce competent performance in the absence of pre-requisite skills and knowledge (Wentzel, 1999).
  • 74. Academic self-efficacy A learner’s initial sense of academic self-efficacy develops largely via a function of similar prior learning experiences and perceived ability on similar tasks. Academic self-efficacy is subsequently refined through continued success and/or failure on similar tasks and feedback from the environment .
  • 75. Academic self-efficacy High levels of learner competition encourage academic self-efficacy: • Norm and social-referenced grading, • Effort-based progress feedback has been associated with detrimental effects on self-efficacy, particularly among low achieving learners. These instructional and environmental variables share a common focus of providing information to the learner about their abilities and progress.
  • 76. Academic self-efficacy Positive and caring learning environments that provide accurate feedback and praise foster the development of accurate self-efficacy beliefs.
  • 77. Academic ability conception Social normative grading and evaluation systems tend to: Foster the more vulnerable and maladaptive view of academic ability as a fixed trait. Learners with an entity view of academic abilities tend to choose the less desirable academic performance goal orientation rather than a learning goal orientation (which is associated with the incremental view of abilities).
  • 78. Academic ability conception An individual’s beliefs, self-evaluation and self-awareness regarding their academic-related skills and abilities. Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Calderalla & Merrell (1997) literature review-based empirical taxonomy
  • 79. Academic ability conception Even young children show clear signs of impairment when they encounter a series of salient, visible failures (such as jigsaw puzzles they cannot complete) or when they meet with criticism for their performance” (Dweck, 2002) Buffering young children, particularly those at risk for significant and powerful early learning failure experiences (e.g., learners with disabilities), would appear to be an important educational goal.
  • 80. Academic ability conception At the 7-8 year level of developmental functioning, significant changes in ability conception occur At this age ability conceptions become defined more as an internal quality, more consistent with external sources (adults), and is the result of greater self-criticism and social normative comparisons
  • 81. Academic ability conception Two general ability conceptions emerge at approximately the 7-8 year developmental level and become crystallized at approximately the 10-12 year level. • T rait-oriented system : where learners’ view their abilities as relatively fixed internal quantities • P rocess-oriented system : focuses on the view that ability can be developed and that effort and strategies are important for success
  • 82. Academic ability conception Children with learning disabilities show an increased probability of effort-avoidance • May view any attempt at increasing effort as risky • Increased effort that results in failure can only reinforce the belief that “I am dumb.”
  • 83. Orientations Towards Others (Social Ability) Cognitive (Social Aware- ness) Behavioral Prosocial Behaviors -Peer relations -Self-management -Academic-related -Compliance -Assertion Problem/maladaptive behaviors -Social ineptness -Undersocialized aggressive conduct -Attention deficit -Oppositional defiant -Withdrawn & unresponsive - Social goal setting - Sensitivity - Insight - Communication - Self-awareness & understanding "How do I need to behave towards others to succeed?"

Verbalizing feelings, Starting conversations, Joining activities already in progress, Introducing self to others, Defending self in arguments, Inviting others to join an activity Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Calderalla & Merrell (1997) literature review-based empirical taxonomy
  • 89. Social ineptness behaviors A lack of positive peer relationship behaviors that results in peer rejection Interrupting others, Difficulty initiating conversations, Making rude or hurtful comments, Inappropriate emotional responses to others Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Calderalla & Merrell (1997) literature review-based empirical taxonomy
  • 90. Undersocialized aggressive conduct behaviors Externally directed antisocial behaviors reflecting a lack of respect or social concern for others feelings and/or property e.g…… bullying inappropriate expression of feelings (tantrums) hitting, kicking, and destroying property Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Calderalla & Merrell (1997) literature review-based empirical taxonomy
  • 91. Attention deficit behaviors Difficulty with focused attention to the immediate environment and acting hastily with little reflection Distractibility, inattentiveness, impulsivity Problems staying on task & completing assignments Daydreaming Theoretical/Conceptual Foundation Calderalla & Merrell (1997) literature review-based empirical taxonomy
