Motivation and Learning Strategies for College Success : A Self-management Approach

 GI      $

APPENDICES

The following appendices are designed to help you plan, develop, and

implement a self-management study so you can become a more suc-

cessful learner. Appendix A provides you with the tools and assistance

needed to apply the steps of the self-management process introduced

in chapter 1. Appendix B includes 3 self-management studies com-

pleted over a 2- to 3-week period by students in an educational psy-

chology course on study strategies. Some of the material provided by

students was slightly edited to reduce the length of the report. There-

fore, as you read these studies, you will be told when additional

information was provided by the students, but not reported here. The

topics of the self-management studies are listed below:

Self-Management Study 1: Motivation (persistence and manage-

ment of effort)—written by Mark

Flowers

Self-Management Study 2: Methods of learning (improving quiz

scores)—written by Fernando Barba

Self-Management Study 3: Motivation (reducing anxiety)—

written by Catherine Dizon

At the end of each case study you will find a brief analysis of

strengths and areas that need improvement. Remember, there is no

one way to complete a self-management study. Be creative in devel-

oping your own instruments to assess your behavior and developing

strategies for change.
