To develop student's identity we need to develop their social and emotional competencies - clarify their interests and values, understanding their strengths, developing abilities.

Primary school emphasis on awareness
Secondary school emphasis on exploration

Donald Super (life span, life space theory)- Primary school children tend to make choices based on interest, but have not developed their ability to judge their capacities. 

Linda Gottfredson (Theory of circumscription and compromise) - Orientation to gender roles and social values - start to designate some jobs as unacceptable based on gender role/social status

Piaget - Younger children can learn through imaginative play and use of drama.

In terms of need for motivation, all students from Primary to Pre-U will require it. While internal motivation is an ideal goal, we can support students to move from amotivation to being extrinsically motivated then intrisically motivated in phases, according to the trajectory in our Primary students.

Create opportunities for students to be motivated intrinsically by creating the right environment.

- as such teaching and classroom management are very important 
- whether a student is able to fulfill his/her learning needs will depend on whether the physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs are fulfilled]]> 2021-10-18 02:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/gmh1h9enij8keh46/wish/1822925966 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/gmh1h9enij8keh46/wish/1822957723 Connect: 
The different stages of brain development does affect the growing stages of the children which affect motor skills, mental, cognitive growth.

Extend:
Primary and secondary are similar in social and emotional awareness. However, in secondary, they are more mindful in social skills due to maturity and higher thinking order. 

Challenge:
How to do create valuable lessons to suit different stage of brain development? What if there are students who develop faster or slower?

]]> 2021-10-18 02:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/gmh1h9enij8keh46/wish/1822957723 Summary of Article RaihanaHusainni https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/gmh1h9enij8keh46/wish/1822985665 This article distinguishes the different types of motivation based on different goals/reasons that give rise to an action. It also suggests, according to SDT, key ideas to facilitate internalization through Relatedness, Competence and Autonomy.

Distinction between:
Intrinsic motivation vs Extrinsic motivation

Intrinsic motivation- doing something because it is inherently interesting/ enjoyable

Extrinsic motivation- doing something because it leads to a disassociated outcome

It is important to note that being amotivated, extrinsically motivated and intrinsically motivated is not black and white.
Human motivation has a trajectory/ taxonomy (specifically, extrinsic motivation) which can be subdivided into 4 stages before arriving at intrinsic motivation.

To facilitate internalization, 3 key ideas are proposed: Relatedness, Competence and Autonomy.]]> 2021-10-18 02:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/gmh1h9enij8keh46/wish/1822985665 Group 6 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/gmh1h9enij8keh46/wish/1822991014 There are three big ideas: Identity, Relationships and Choice. 
  • Setting the foundation at Lower Pri to get students to know more about themselves (self-identity), exploration/discovery/ likes/dislikes etc. 
  • Middle Pri: the importance placed on working with others. 
  • Upper Pri and Lower Sec are similar: emphasis placed on getting students to be more self-aware of others, one’s identity and how they can play an essential role in the school, family and society.
