[영어 에세이] The Secret of Kids’ Academic Success (아동들의 학업 성취도와 Mastery Motivation의 관계)

소개글

미국대학교 400단위 (한국 4학년) 심리학과 Motivation 수업의 과제입니다. 영어로 작성된 에세이입니다.
The Secret of Kids’ Academic Success – 4 Themes You Need to Know (성공적인 아동의 학업성취도의 비밀 - 당신이 알아야 할 네가지) 라는 주제로 적은 글입니다.
대략적인 내용은 아동이 학업적 성취를 위해서 부모가 어떻게 육아를 해야 하는 지에 대한 것이구요.
과제의 본질 자체가 잡지에 기재할 것을 가정하였으나, 학문적 기초에 바탕을 둬야 했기 때문에
academic한 글과 informal한 글 중간 쯤이라고 보면 될 것 같습니다.

본문내용

According to Kelly et al. (2000), many primary developmental systems develop in the first two years of a child’s life. Among the systems is the child’s self-system. The self-system involves the activities in which children choose to participate, how they react to challenge and failure in completing those activities, the standards of behavior, the self-evaluations, and the emotions resulting from the self-evaluations. The manifestations of this self-system are “children’s recognition of external standards for their behavior and the accompanying self-evaluative emotions” and mastery motivation (Kelly, Brownell, & Campbell, 2000, p. 1061). In case of young toddlers, mastery motivation is observed through interest and persistence that children show in challenging activities. Since the self-system starts to develop in the first two years of a child’s life, parents’ roles during this period are very crucial to help equip their children with the sound self-system and mastery motivation.
