Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Steps in the Modeling Process

Steps in the Modeling Process

Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Naturalistic Observations

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Metacognition

Metacognition

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Summary

This study introduces Situated Emancipatory Action Research (SEAR), a new framework to enhance learning and researcher emancipation in action research. SEAR helps researchers overcome biases for deeper engagement and knowledge extraction.

Area of Science:

Social Sciences
Education
Research Methodology

Background:

Action research empowers individuals and communities through collaborative inquiry.
Traditional methods limit learning extraction due to underdeveloped researcher role frameworks.
This hinders deep engagement and real-time reflection in action research.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the Situated Emancipatory Action Research (SEAR) framework.
To overcome limitations in traditional action research methodologies.
To facilitate researcher and participant emancipation through enhanced learning.

Main Methods:

Development of the SEAR framework using Process Oriented Holonic (PrOH) Modelling Methodology.
Longitudinal case studies conducted over a decade.
Emphasis on the researcher's cognitive journey and continuous reflection-in-action.

Main Results:

The SEAR framework enables researchers to move from detached observers to immersed agents of change.
It facilitates emancipation of both the researcher and the researched.
SEAR deepens and widens understanding through successive action research cycles.

Conclusions:

The SEAR framework emancipates action researchers from biases, improving engagement and knowledge extraction.
It promotes a mutually complementary process for deepening and widening understanding.
Further research is recommended to refine SEAR's application in diverse settings.
