Answer to Question 1

Answers to the separate parts of the question are as follows:
a. Self-regulation is a process of setting standards and goals for oneself and engaging in behaviors and cognitive processes that enable one to meet those standards and goals. (Any description that reflects this general idea is acceptable.)
b. A student behavior that is appropriately self-regulated (study skills, independent seatwork, interpersonal conflict resolution, etc.) should be identified. Then, two concrete strategies should be described that reflect two or more of the following ideas:
 Provide opportunities for students to set their own goals (ideally, these goals should be challenging yet achievable).
 Teach strategies for keeping counterproductive emotions in check.
 Have students talk themselves through a task.
 Have students observe and record their own behavior.
 Have students evaluate their own performance; possibly compare students' self-evaluations to their teacher's evaluations.
 Teach students to reinforce themselves for successful performance.
 Give students opportunities to learn without teacher assistance

Answer to Question 2

Vicarious reinforcement is a phenomenon in which an individual's behavior increases after he or she observes someone else being reinforced for that behavior. The response should include a concrete example to illustrate.
