  • Social Intelligence: a Needed Friend of School Administrators
    NATIONAL FORUM OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION JOURNAL VOLUME 36, NUMBER 4, 2018 Social Intelligence: A Needed Friend of School Administrators Dr. David E. Bartz, Professor Emeritus Department of Educational Leadership Eastern Illinois University Charleston, IL Dr. Lindsey Hall, Superintendent Mahomet-Seymour CUSD #3 Mahomet, IL Mrs. Sheila Greenwood, Superintendent Bement CUSD #5 Bement, Il Abstract Social intelligence skills are an excellent means for school administrators to establish positive relationships with individuals within their sphere of influence. These positive relationships can lead to others supporting the goals for which a school administrator is accountable and work toward their achievement. Ultimately, students are the benefactors of the use of social intelligence skills by school administrators through enhanced educational environments that improve student learning. Social awareness (what school administrators sense about others) and social facility (what they do behaviorally based on awareness) are the two holistic areas of social intelligence with skills such as: empathy, attunement, organizational awareness, influence, personal connection, development of others, organizing groups, teamwork, inspiration, social analysis, situational awareness, social expressiveness, presence, negotiating solutions, authenticity, clarity, social sensitivity, knowledge of social roles, rules, and scripts, and social control flowing from them.

Riggio and Rebecca J. Reichard Kravis Leadership Institute, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, California, USA Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a framework for conceptualizing the role of emotional and social skills in effective leadership and management and provides preliminary suggestions for research and for the development of leader emotional and social skills. Design/methodology/approach – The paper generalizes a dyadic communications framework in order to describe the process of emotional and social exchanges between leaders and their followers. Findings – The paper shows how emotional skills and complementary social skills are essential for effective leadership through a literature review and discussion of ongoing research and a research agenda. Practical implications – Suggestions for the measurement and development of emotional and social skills for leaders and managers are offered. Originality/value – The work provides a framework for emotional and social skills in order to illustrate their role in leadership and their relationship to emotional and social intelligences. It outlines a research agenda and advances thinking of the role of developable emotional and social skills for managers. Keywords Emotional intelligence, Social skills, Leadership development Paper type Conceptual paper In his classic work on managerial skills, Mintzberg (1973) listed specific interpersonal skills (i.e. the ability to establish and maintain social networks; the ability to deal with subordinates; the ability to empathize with top-level leaders) as critical for managerial effectiveness.

Corrigan Illinois Institute of Technology University of Chicago Richard P. Bentall J. Meg Racenstein University of Liverpool Illinois Institute of Technology Leonard Newman University of Illinois at Chicago The study of social cognition in schizophrenia may augment the understanding of clinical and behavioral manifestations of the disorder. In this article, the authors describe social cognition and differentiate it from nonsocial cognition. They gamer evidence to support the role of social cognition in schizophrenia: Nonsocial information-processing models are limited to explain social dysfunction in schizophrenia, measures of social cognition may contribute greater variance to social functioning than measures of nonsocial cognition, task performance on nonsocial-cognitive measures may not parallel performance on social-cognitive tasks, and symptomatology may be best understood within a social-cognitive framework. They describe the potential implications of a social-cognitive model of schizophrenia for the etiology and development of the disorder. There appears to be a renewed interest in the psychological symptomatology of the disorder. We begin with a brief overview and phenomenal aspects of schizophrenia (Amador, Strauss, of the social-cognitive perspective, followed by a presentation Yale, & Gorman, 1991; Bentall, 1994; Brekke, Levin, Wolkon, of evidence that suggests that measures of social cognition con- Sobel, & Slade, 1993; Davidson & Strauss, 1992; Frith, 1994; tribute variance, beyond measures of nonsocial cognition, to Trower & Chadwick, 1995).

  • Learning Theory This Course Will Cover the Fundamentals Of
    Learning Theory This course will cover the fundamentals of pedagogy and andragogy, as well as examine different theories in learning. We will analyze the particular characteristics of adult learning, identifying the contributions of theoretical and scientific support to andragogy, its principles and applications. Also we will evaluate the concept and importance of permanent or life-long education. Hopefully you will come away with a better sense of how humans learn and how you in particular can continue to learn. What is learning? Learning involves change. It is concerned with the acquisition of habits, knowledge, and attitudes. It enables the individual to make both personal and social adjustments. Since the concept of change is inherent in the concept of learning, any change in behavior implies that learning is taking place or has taken place. Learning that occurs during the process of change can be referred to as the learning process. Learning is a change in the individual, due to the interaction of that individual, and his environment, which fills a need to make him more capable of dealing adequately with his environment. A distinction is frequently made between education and learning. Education is an activity undertaken or initiated by one or more agents that is designed to effect changes in the knowledge, skill, and attitudes of individuals, groups, or communities. The term education emphasizes the educator, the agent of change who presents stimuli and reinforcement for learning and designs activities to induce change. The term learning, in contrast, emphasizes the person in whom the change occurs or is expected to occur.

  • Beyond Pavlov, Thorndike, and Skinner: Other Early Behaviorist Theories
    Supplementary reading in the Companion Website accompanying HUMAN LEARNING 5/E by J. E. Ormrod, 2008, Upper Saddle River, NJ: Merrill/Prentice Hall. Copyright© 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. BEYOND PAVLOV, THORNDIKE, AND SKINNER: OTHER EARLY BEHAVIORIST THEORIES Chapters 3 and 4 in Human Learning describe the work of three prominent early behaviorists: Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, and B. F. Skinner. But other theorists had a significant impact on early behaviorist thinking as well. Here we’ll focus on three especially notable ones: John Watson, Edwin Guthrie, and Clark Hull. John Watson It was actually John Watson (1913) who introduced the term behaviorism and served as the most vocal advocate for the behaviorist perspective in the early part of the twentieth century. In his major writings, Watson (1914, 1916, 1919, 1925) adamantly called for the introduction of scientific objectivity and experimentation into the study of psychological phenomena. He emphasized the need for focusing scientific inquiry on observable behaviors rather than on such nonobservable phenomena as “thinking.” Not only did Watson oppose the study of internal mental events, but he also denied any existence of the mind at all! Thought, he proposed, was nothing more than tiny movements of the tongue and larynx and thus was a behavior just like any other. Greatly influenced by the work of both Pavlov and another Russian, Vladimir Bechterev (1913), Watson adopted the classically conditioned S-R habit as the basic unit of learning and extended it to human learning (e.g., see Watson and Rayner’s study with an infant named Albert, described in Chapter 3).1 Watson proposed two laws describing how such habits develop.

  • 3. Main Theories on Acquisition and Development Del Language. 3.1 Learning Theories: Watson and Skinner Operant Conditioning B
    SEC 3 Page 1 of 9 3. MAIN THEORIES ON ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT DEL LANGUAGE. 3.1 LEARNING THEORIES: WATSON AND SKINNER OPERANT CONDITIONING By the 1920s John B. Watson had left academic psychology and other behaviorists were becoming influential, proposing new forms of learning other than classical conditioning. Perhaps the most important of these was Burrhus Frederic Skinner; Although, for obvious reasons he is more commonly known as B.F. Skinner. Skinner's views were slightly less extreme than those of Watson. Skinner believed that we do have such a thing as a mind, but that it is simply more productive to study observable behavior rather than internal mental events. Skinner believed that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of an action and its consequences. He called this approach operant conditioning. Skinner's theory of operant conditioning was based on the work of Thorndike (1905). Edward Thorndike studied learning in animals using a puzzle box to propose the theory known as the 'Law of Effect'. BF Skinner: Operant Conditioning Skinner is regarded as the father of Operant Conditioning, but his work was based on Thorndike’s law of effect. Skinner introduced a new term into the Law of Effect - Reinforcement. Behavior which is reinforced tends to be repeated (i.e. strengthened); behavior which is not reinforced tends to die out-or be extinguished (i.e. weakened). Skinner (1948) studied operant conditioning by conducting experiments using animals which he placed in a “Skinner Box” which was similar to Thorndike’s puzzle box. B.F.

Socialisation is one of hard work on earth. However, all of us, we should prepare ourselves for the day. Almost all teens, or in fact all human beings, in a moment of your life when they feel lonely where everything seems strange and unfamiliar, are missing. Family members, friends, teachers' role in person’s character formation. The period considered. Storm and stress of adolescence as a period to be mentioned Adolescence. This article reviews the types of social intelligence. Keywords: Adolescence, Socialisation, Social intelligence 1. Introduction A human being is a complex thing. This is not because of his chemical compositions or his physical appearance but primarily because of the great range and variety of his behavior. Human can hear, see and feel things, he can move, lift and manipulate many kinds of objects, he can think and solve critical as well as complicated problems. And because he can think, he can understand his own behavior, because he deals with it everyday, both in himself and in other people. But it is quit evident that this degree of understanding of human behavior is not the same with every individual, it is varies from one person to another.
