Ideally learners should have a reasonably accurate sense of what they can and cannot accomplish, but in some cases a sense of overconfidence can be beneficial in motivating students to learn. In two paragraphs, explain how overconfidence can be a) beneficial and b) detrimental to student learning and achievement.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Modeling can be a very effective teaching strategy. Choose a specific behavior you might teach your students through modeling. Then describe how you would take into account the four conditions necessary for student modeling to occur.

Answer to Question 1

Overconfidence can be beneficial when it encourages students to try skills that may be just beyond their current comfort level  they don't think they are taking a risk, and so they try things that ultimately help them develop new skills (I know I can do this).

Overconfidence can be detrimental when it leads students to unrealistically high expectations or to tackle situations where they can't possibly succeed, even with effort. It's also detrimental when students are so overconfident that they don't even try

Answer to Question 2

The response should identify a classroom behavior that can realistically be taught through modeling. It should also include an explanation of how these four processes are taken into account:
 AttentionThe response should include some means of capturing students' attention.
 RetentionThe response should include some way of helping students remember what they observe.
 Motor reproductionStudent s must be physically capable of executing the behavior.
 MotivationStudents must have a desire to demonstrate the behavior.
