1. Which teacher in the scenario demonstrates vicarious reinforcement?
Ms. Y is demonstrating vicarious reinforcement. By praising Robin for the great concept map she created the other students in her class will probably start creating them as well. Her praise is reinforcing the other students to make a concept map like Robin did.
2. Is Mr. Kessinger considering reciprocal causation in his class?
I do not think that Mr. K is considering reciprocal causation in his class. Reciprocal causation is interrelationship between student's environments, behavior and personal beliefs. Mr. K is not considering these things at all. He does not seem to care about his students beliefs and treats them really bad.
3. Which self-regulated learning process is Robing engaging in when she creates her concept maps?
Robin is engaging in self-instruction. She creating the concept map to instruct herself and understand the complexity of the topic of her map in a simpler form.
4. How do you think Robin's self-efficacy has been affect by this experience?
Robin probably does not feel like she can take notes or do well in Mr. K's class. This may even affect the other classes she as as well. Robin probably does not have high expectations for herself in this class now. Because she has failed at answering his question she may feel that she will fail every time he asks her a question now. She has low self-efficacy in regards to succeeding in Mr. K's class, answering his question, and taking notes.
