Introductions
Who are we???Why are we presenting on this topic???
![Page 3: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Moment of connection
Who was involved? Topic? How did people connect? Why?
Reflect What factors may have contributed to that
connection? How do you think that connection affected
everyone involved (any change)?
Brainstorm
![Page 4: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What would these connections look like? What would the effects of these
connections be? Connections:
Student-Teacher, Student-Student
First—Why? Then—How?
“Connections” & the Classroom
![Page 5: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Establish a social identity
Positive, academic self Create one to replace any negative academic
identity Strengthen existing identity (neutral or
insecure)
Social identity crucial for learning to occur Individually Collaboratively
Why do connections work?
![Page 6: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Social Identity
Before
Nothing I can do…
I’m just a bad writer.
My grade will never change, so why put in effort?
After
I just need to do x, y, z!
This is difficult, but I think I’m getting better.
I just need to work harder so my grade will increase…
![Page 7: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Attribution: to establish reason(s) to explain why
something happened (assign a cause).
Specifically applies to lay people (non-psychologists)
Weiner: Three main axes underlie attributions Locus (internal—external) Stability (variant—invariant) Control (influence—no influence)
Attribution Theory
![Page 8: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Review the “Social Identity” slide (no. 6)
Can you identify the axis for each statement?
Identify: Axes of Attribution
![Page 9: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Identity Learning
How does social identity affect how we learn?How do we change from the “Before” to the “After”?
![Page 10: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Teachers
Reasons why assignment not successful Show steps necessary to learn How to achieve those steps
Can you identify the three axes?
Students (peers) How do students affect a student’s identity? Modeling, direct instruction, verbal reassurance
What changes identity?
![Page 11: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Learning is individually constructed (Piaget)
We create schema of the world Conflict is the catalyst to create or shape schema Schema are assimilated or accommodated Stages: Sensori-motor, Pre-op., Concrete-op., Formal-
op.
Social-cultural constructivism (Vygotsky) Construction occurs during interaction with others Interaction Internalization (how experts perform task) Zone of Proximal Development: the level at which a
student can succeed only with assistance Independence ZPD Potential
Learn through others?
![Page 12: Johnnie Terry, Philosophy Professor, Sierra College Anne Argyriou, Basic Skills Committee, De Anza College ASCCC Student Success Institute: Basic Skills.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55163bcf550346a2308b646f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How does this constructed learning work?
Scaffolding (Bruner) Narrowing the possible choices to accomplish a
task so the student can concentrate on the skill itself, rather than deciding what to do…
Highly Structured No Structure (as student progresses)
Create an “external” consciousness that student gradually absorbs to spontaneously use later (internal)

Learn Identity
How does socially constructed learning transform a student from “Before” to “After”?

Definition: beliefs a person holds about capabilities,
but may not accurately reflect actual capabilities… “Do I belong here?” “Can I do this? Will I be successful at it?”
Source: Webb, Jane, Lecture notes, Jan. 22, 2007
Without a strong self-efficacy, difficult to accurately assess one’s own abilities and accomplishments, particularly what one lacks or needs to develop.

Self-Efficacy

Mindset (Dweck)
Fixed
Nothing I can do…
I’m just a bad writer.
My grade will never change, so why put in effort?
Growth
I just need to do x, y, z!
This is difficult, but I think I’m getting better.
I just need to work harder so my grade will increase…

Facilitating Connections

Listing office hours is not enough.
Build connection into course (see handout): So that I can get to know who you are and associate
a personality with your name, you can receive five points extra-credit toward your first exam score by calling me during my office hours tomorrow, Thursday, February 3, 2011, from 12:40-2:00. When you call me during my office hours, I'll be subjecting you to a quirky and weird set of survey questions. I'm using these survey questions to "mine for quirkiness." If I find something quirky about you, it will help me to remember who you are. The questions are non-offensive but if you'd prefer, you may always say "pass.“
