Self-efficacy: Introduction
Self-efficacy: Judgment about one’s capability to organize and complete a course of action required to accomplish a specific task (Bandura, 1986, 1997)
In your experience, what factors affect students’ self-efficacy?
Self-efficacy: Sources
Self-efficacy: Developmental Issues
• Students’ perceptions of academic competence generally declines as they advance through school
• Increased competition, less teacher attention, more norm-referenced grading, ability grouping
• Transitional Influences
• Movement from homeroom based to advisory role
• Role of peers
• Peer networks & model similarity
• Changes in self-appraisal skills
Self-efficacy: Effects (I)High Self-efficacy Low Self-efficacy
Task Orientation
Effort
Persistence
Accept challenging tasks
Expend high effort when faced with challenging tasks
Persist when goals are not initially reached
Avoid challenging tasks
Expend low effort when faced with challenging task
Give up when goals are not initially reached
Self-efficacy: Effects (II)High Self-efficacy Low Self-efficacy
Beliefs
Strategy Use
Performance
Believe they will succeed
Discard unproductive strategies
Perform higher than low self-efficacy students of equal ability
Focus on feelings of incompetence
Persist with unproductive strategies
Perform lower than high-efficacy students of equal ability
The Components ofa Self-Regulatory System, 1 view
SRL: Thoughts, feelings, or actions purposely generated and controlled by student to maximize learning of knowledge and skills for a given task and set of conditions
Forethought Phase Task analysis Self-motivational beliefs
Performance Phase Self-control Self-observation
Self-Reflection Phase Self-judgment Self-reaction
