๐กHow does learned helplessness feel?
Just stumbled upon this video about learned helplessness and I thought it's worth sharing.
I also asked AI how understanding this concept could help us become better educators. Here's the answer (part 2 in the comments):
Understanding "Learned Helplessness" in Education
๐ด Definition and Origin:
- Learned Helplessness is a psychological state where an individual feels powerless to change their situation, often due to repeated experiences of uncontrolled negative outcomes.
- Originated from Martin Seligman's experiments in the 1960s where dogs, after experiencing inescapable shocks, stopped trying to escape even when they could, illustrating the concept.
๐ต Components of Learned Helplessness:
- Contingency: The belief in a relationship between actions and outcomes.
- Cognition: How individuals perceive these relationships.
- Behavior: Actions taken or not taken due to these perceptions.
๐ข Implications for Education:
- Academic Performance: Students might underperform or disengage academically, feeling their efforts won't change outcomes.
- Mental Health: Linked to conditions like depression, anxiety, and stress, impacting overall well-being.
