13. Read the scenario. Then, read the potential explanations to the right. Your job is to identify the theory/theorist who most likely influenced the explanation.
Scenario: Ms. Garcia, a high school teacher, was discussing Marco, a junior boy in her English class. She was talking with the school counselor about how frustrated she is that Marco seems to have so much potential but he continues to make poor choices – with his peers, with his school work – everything. The counselor offers some explanations for Marco’s behavior.
Match the counselor’s explanation about Marco’s behavior to the best theorist/theory. You will only use each theory ONCE.
Theorist/Theory:
Vygotsky/Social Constructivist
Skinner/Operant Conditioning
Bronfenbrenner/Ecological Systems Theory
Erikson/Psychosocial Theory
Freud/Psychosexual Theory
Piaget/Cognitive Constructivism
Bandura/Social Learning
Unfortunately, Marco’s made some older friends who’s taught him their ways – they’ve essentially mentored Marco about how to skate through high school with very little effort.
Marco is striving to discover who he is – he’s testing the waters. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a lot of support at home so he’s looking more and more to his peers for their approval and support as he strives to figure out his identity.
Marco’s parents and his teachers aren’t in great communication – never have been. This lack of connections means he’s had disjointed interactions between school and home.
Ms. Garcia, a high school teacher, was discussing Marco, a junior boy in her English class. She was talking with the school counselor about how frustrated she is that Marco seems to have so much potential but he continues to make poor choices – with his peers, with his school work – everything. The counselor offers some explanations for Marco’s behavior.
Marco has seen his older brother get a lot of attention from peers and teachers being a class clown. He’s emulating his brother’s behaviors because of this.
His peers have laughed at his behavior starting way back in junior high – and he continues to act up. He seems to like the attention.
