WORD BANK OF OUTCOMES FOR LEARNERS

What teacher practices would likely have influenced

  1. Motivation: The learner’s willingness to interact with teacher, peers, and/or text, etc., to attempt to reach a cognitive goal (i.e., learn multiplication tables)?

  1. The lack of motivation?

  1. Metacognition: thinking about thinking process whereby the learner takes strategic control of a cognitive goal by (a) making a plan to accomplish that goal (i.e., learn how to make inferences), (b) self-monitoring to accomplish that goal, and (c) self-evaluating to accomplish that goal?

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. The lack of metacognitive processing?

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Constructive Attribution: Learner’s perception that his/her efforts, skills, use of strategies and knowledge have a meaningful role in his success?

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Learning for mastery:(as opposed to learning for performance/grades): more than likely an unstated goal associated with the learner’s strategically focusing on small goals to reach the primary goal – learn the elements of fiction). This notion would be part of the classroom culture cultivated by the teacher?

A-1; A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Learning for performance/grades?

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Learner Relatedness: Learner’s perception: “I belong in this class; I know it because my teacher shows me every day?”

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Deflective attribution: Learner accepts no responsibility for learning: “The teacher doesn’t like me?”

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Learner Competence: Learner’s perception: “I can do this work; furthermore, my teacher thinks that I can do it?”

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Destructive attribution: “I can’t do this; I am not smart at all.” (“And I am going to punish the teacher for trying to make me look stupid?”)

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. Learner Autonomy: Learner’s perception: “I have a role to play in my success, and it is relevant to me?”

A-1;  A-2;  A-3;  A-4;  A-5;  A-6;  A-7;  B-1;  B-2;  B-3;  B-4;  B-5;  B-6

  1. The lack of autonomy?
