The Study
• Offering opportunities for exploration of new technologies can build confidence and motivate candidates to initiate technology use in the future.
• This presentation explores the pre-survey competence and confidence levels of preservice teachers.

Self-Evaluation
• David Dunning, Ph.D. at Cornell has found that the least competent performers inflate their abilities the most; that the reason for the over inflation seems to be ignorance, not arrogance; and that chronic self-beliefs, however inaccurate, underlie both people's over and underestimations of how well they're doing.
Self-Evaluation
• In a subjective area like intelligence people tend to perceive their competence in self-serving ways.
• People don't like giving negative feedback.
• Inflating one's sense of self creates positive emotions and feelings of self-efficacy, but the downside is that people don't really like self-enhancers very much“ (Heine, 1999).
Getting to the Truth.
• How to frame competence and confidence self-evaluation to obtain an accurate measures.
• Overconfidence produces underachievement: Inaccurate self evaluations could undermine students’ learning and retention
