Answer to Question 1

There's no clear right or wrong answer here. She may be correct in focusing on more serious misbehaviors, such as his physical aggression. Furthermore, trying to discourage his cursing may be a lost cause, given that his family regularly models such behavior at home. Yet if the other students see that Cameron is not being punished for cursing, they might conclude that cursing is appropriate. As social cognitive theorists point out, lack of expected punishment can actually be reinforcing.

Answer to Question 2

Virtually all human beings, including Jodie, are motivated in one way or another. However, students' motivation to achieve academic success depends on a variety of factors, including self-efficacy, sense of self-determination, personal interests, internalized values, and attributions. Many of these are the products of students' prior classroom experiences and are apt to change only slowly over time.
