ABSTRACT
Self-control is getting the people to do what they want to do, when that is difficult. Students who are good at self-management learn better than their peers. For example, they: Seek out advice1 and information, Commonly seat themselves toward the front of the classroom, Seek out additional resources, Voluntarily offer answers to questions, Manipulate their learning environments to meet their needs, Last but not least, perform better on academic tests and measures of student performance and achievement. One stereotype holds that gifted people such as Albert Einstein lack self-control. Actually, there are four types of self-control. Shapiro has developed a model of self-control that compares four possible actions: positive and negative asserting and yielding. The goal of all education is to make it unnecessary for the reader always to be present. Thus the people need to think about how and when to fade the support students need in order to achieve mastery. .
