PBL Scenario One
SCENE 1 (In the staff room)
       Ms Jia sat at her table, staring into
  space, drained of every bit of her
  energy after class, and then with a
  sigh writing into her notepad to-do-
  list.
            ...

                                               2

I. How will
   a teachers self-efficacy
affect the classroom learning
         environment?
           Self-Efficacy



                                5
I Self Efficacy-Evidences
 drained of every bit of her energy
 how am I going to manage
 should I even have signed up for teaching?
 How can others teach for so many years?
 Frustrated, Miss Jia approached Dua Xia, the boy
  with loudest voice in class. Dua Xia, you have the
  loudest voice
 She always late one lah. Even if I am not in
  class, she also wont notice it.

                                                    6
II Self Efficacy-Theories
 Albert Banduras concept of Self Efficacy:
 Ms Jia has low self efficacy




                                               7
III Self Efficacy- Analysis
 Her low instructional self efficacy (from Santrock
  p.473 & Bandura 1997) can be seen by her
  inability to control the classroom, needing Dua
  Xias help to keep them to settle down so that she
  may start her lesson.
 Less time was spent in active teaching and
  monitoring of students progress; Ms Jia was just
  interesting in getting the job done, and to
  complete the syllabus by the given timeframe, as
  possibly prescribed by the SOWs.

                                                   8
IV Self Efficacy- Solutions
 She needs to prioritize her task by classifying it
  into two possible categories, namely
  important and urgent matters.
 Using Banduras theory, Miss Jia can improve
  her self-efficacy by practicing self-regulation
  which involves these three processes: self-
  observation, self-judgment and self-reaction.
 She should set management goals for herself

                                                   9
II. How do
teachers expectation and
   students motivation
   impact on academic
      performance?
   Expectation and Motivation


                                10
I Low Expectation- Evidences I
 She suspects him of cheating
 If you didnt study, be prepared to fail. Face
  the music! Why must you copy?
 Youve never believed me.
 Even if I explain, you wont be able to
  understand. Its probably too difficult for you!
 Dutifully answered Annies questions, one by
  one, oblivious to the rest of the pupils in class
                                                      11
I Low Expectation- Evidences II
 Guess what I do is never enough I give up
  (stomps out of class)
 She asked Annie, her favourite pupil, to try
  solving one of them
 Unless youre really blind, you should see that I
  have put in a lot of sweat into my studies.
 Irritated by the disruption, she said in a
  condescending tone.
 Really made Minah regret asking. Fine. I will not
  ask in the future! Minah shouted

                                                      12
II Low Expectation- Theories
 Albert Banduras concept of self-efficacy




                                              13
III Low Expectation- Analysis I
 Ms Jias efficacy has led to her low expectation of
  her students.
 Not much support provided in helping them
  reach high standards, in challenging them
  towards high achievements. Lack of scaffolding
 This has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, in
  other words, students were not motivated by
  excitement and encouraged to learn even though
  they had demonstrated inquisitiveness, as in the
  case of Minah, as Ms Jia did not believe in their
  ability in Math

                                                    14
III Low Expectation- Analysis II
 The exception is in the case of Anne, who was self
  motivated (towards self mastery), though there is not much
  information was provided.
 negative reinforcement/feedback provided: Just follow the
  rule. You dont have to know the rationale behind it. Even
  if I explain, you wont be able to understand. Its probably
  too difficult for you!
 she did not motivate the students to learn. Thus the
  resulting effect on Lucy (and perhaps the class too) in the
  last paragraph; Take all she says as facts and follow exactly
  what she says we are to do. Sure no problems, that way. 
  Lucy said in a matter-of-fact tone and continued reading
  her CLEO magazine.

                                                              15
IV Low Expectation- Solutions
 She should first believe that all children can
  learn and not right them off.
 She should also set learning goals base on
  their potentials instead of her bias judgment
  on them.
 She should not denigrate her students.
 Miss Jia should understand a students social
  life and family background before she sets any
  stereotypical view on them.
                                               16
III. How do
reward and punishment
 enforce discipline and
enhance performance ?
 Reinforcement and punishment



                                17
I Misuse of Reinforcement-
                      Evidences
 I dont have the time to pursue the matter (smoking)
  with you now. See me after class
 Thats not fair! You didnt even scold John when he was
  late for class just now! Lian Huay protested indignantly.
  He smoked and you didnt even care. Then, now you
  scold me for such a small thing! What kind of teacher
  are you?
 Wah, Jia Lat is very unfair hor. John always gets away
  with things. Then, for the rest of us, we always get
  scolded. Like how it was just now, I asked her a
  question and she scolded me in front of the whole
  class. I hate her.

                                                          18
II Misuse of Reinforcement-Theories
 Vygotskys approach to Social Constructivist

 Skinners theory about Reinforcement
  processes




                                                 19
III Misuse of Reinforcement-Analysis
 She wrote off some pupils as unteachable
  (Brookover & others, 1979), such as John and
  Minah, even though they did exhibit some
  bright sparks such as studying the subject
  over the weekend, inquisitiveness, with the
  effect that some students like Lucy had
  already acquired learned helplessness



                                                 20
IV Misuse of Reinforcement-Solutions
 She should provide immediate and positive
  feedbacks to the students when they attempt to
  question the topic or contribute to class
  participation.
 Punishments should not be made without proper
  investigation, taking the example of John, she
  should not punish him when she merely
  suspect him of cheating.
 Fair and just punishment should be practiced.
  When one breaks the rule, correction should be
  taken instead of overlooking it (John smoking).

                                                21
IV. To what extent
will cognitive processes,
   or the lack thereof,
           impact
 meaningful learning?
     Cognitive Processes

                            22
I Cognitive processes  Evidences I
 I must finish teaching this topic today
 The only priority in her mind was to finish
  teaching this topic today. She constantly looks
  at her watch
 Irritated by the disruption, she said in a
  condescending tone
 Just follow the rule. You dont have to know
  the rationale behind it.

                                                23
I Cognitive processes  Evidences II
 Even if I explain, you wont be able to
  understand. Its probably too difficult for you!
 Really made Minah regret asking. Fine. I will not
  ask in the future! Minah shouted
 Know her pattern by now. You can do
  anything, just dont stop her lessons in any way.
  And just dont ask questions about her lessons.
 Miss Jia: Just follow the method and do
  accordingly

                                                      24
II Cognitive processes- Theories
 Robert Gagnes Instructional Cognitive
  processes, Social Constructivist Approach by
  Vygotsky, Information Processing theory




                                                 25
III Cognitive processes- Analysis I
 Miss Jia did not even try to gain the attention
  of the class herself; she got Dua Xia to control
  the class. So first step of this instructional
  cognitive process, shed already gone wrong.
 Miss Jia didnt give clear or good objective in
  the beginning of the class. In fact, her only
  objective known to the students was to finish
  the syllabus

                                                 26
III Cognitive processes- Analysis II
 Miss Jia did not help stimulate any prior
  knowledge, for example recapping from previous
  lesson. Using Information Processing Theory
  term, she did not activate the students long term
  memory and promote Metacognition.
 Miss Jia did not perform this either. She rushed
  through the lesson and assumed that the class
  understood what was taught by questioning
  and receiving a correct answer from the smartest
  girl in class.

                                                   27
III Cognitive processes- Analysis III
 Again, not only did she not provide guidance,
  she also discouraged / stopped the students
  from questioning by denigrating a student
  who had a question regarding the Math
  question. However, she did provide learning
  guidance to one girl before she began the
  lesson,



                                                  28
III Cognitive processes- Analysis IV
 Eliciting responds from the students was
  missing in her lesson too. She did not elicit
  any responses from the class with questions
  or prompts.
 She provided negative feedback eg , Just
  follow the rule. You dont have to know the
  rationale behind it. Even if I explain, you
  wont be able to understand. Its probably too
  difficult for you!

                                               29
IV Cognitive processes-Solutions I
 She must draw the students attention by
  structuring her lesson plan properly.
 Clear objectives should be laid out at the
  beginning of the lesson. It would be better if she
  could recap the previous topic with the students.
 Doing the problem-sum solving, she should try to
  break them down into comprehensible steps and
  not simply rush through it.
 Miss Jia can also start the lesson with simple
  questions then move on to difficult ones.
                                                   30
IV Cognitive processes-Solutions II
 She should pick an average standard student or even a
  weak student to test water. If the weak student
  understands, that means 80% of the class understand
  too. For those who did not understand, they were
  either not paying attention or day-dreaming.
 Miss Jia should give support and scaffolding (and
  gradually withdrawn) to students during the learning
  process and problem solving. For example, giving clues,
  asking questions, prompting the students and breaking
  down problems.
