Self-EfficacyAlbert Bandura (1997, 2000)
A person’s knowledge and belief regarding one’s own abilitiesNot so much about whether one actually has
acquired and can utilize these skills
Relevant r/t current and future goal-directed behaviors (Maddux & Gosselin, 2003)
**It is learned and it can be changed

What is Self-Efficacy?
It is the expectation that one can master a situation, and produce a positive outcome
• Bandura’s Social Cognitive Model says that there are 3 factors that influence self-efficacy: behaviors, environment, and personal/cognitive factors. They all affect each other, but the cognitive factors are important.
• Bandura believed that there is more to learning than just ‘behaviorism’, what you believe about a situation is important too.

™SELF-EFFICACY• Levels of confidence (self-beliefs) individuals

HYPOTHESES
• Students who strongly manifest self-management characteristics will demonstrate a higher level of academic success.
• Specific self-management characteristics are more strongly correlated to student academic success than others.
• Students who manifest strong self-management character traits are more likely to demonstrate a higher level of competency in all areas identified as essential employability skills, and are more likely to be motivated to learn and to use those skills more quickly and more appropriately. 12

™FINDINGS TO DATE
• Self-efficacy affects goal-setting, which influences self-evaluation, self-satisfaction, commitment and effort, which in turn affect outcome expectations, goal implementation and academic performance.
• Early identification of students who are at risk for poor academic performance could be facilitated by the use of assessment instruments that focus on relatively stable aspects (i.e. personality) of the student
innovation.uccs.edu
BACHELOR OF
INNOVATION
™FINDING TO DATE
• Understanding a student’s character traits we may determine which students are more likely to have higher levels of self-efficacy than those who do not.
• Personality also has an impact on how students learn, and understanding this is very important as academic success may be increased if personality and success characteristics are taken into account.
• The quality of a student’s learning experience, especially in the first year, is an important indicator of students’ academic adjustment and of their chances of persevering in college.

How are these related?The Emotion of Interest• Four variables directly influence interest:
– Conflict
– Complexity
– Novelty
– Uncertainty
• Self-efficacy is directly related to all four of these, so self-efficacy indirectly influences interest through 4 variables… quadratically.
• Uncertainty plays the biggest role in interest.
• Self-efficacy affects uncertainty: “How will the activity end up?”
• If ADHD children have interest in an activity, it leads us to think that they might have a better chance at improving their attention for that activity.

What research says…
• Fuzzy dart test – skill test, try to hit target with dart at various distances.– distance was adjusted at varying length for different
groups, as well as varying the lengths for another group.
– interest decreased when it got too easy.
– those put in the moderate difficulty condition were most interested in repeating the task.
– those who were placed farthest from the target agreed that it would be more interesting if the line was moved closer to the target.

Developing Self-EfficacyBandura (1997, 2000)
Mastery Experiences
Vicarious Experiences
Persuasion and Encouragement
Interpretation of Emotional Arousal
innovation.uccs.edu
BACHELOR OF
INNOVATION
™Self-efficacy Paradox• Self-efficacy is gained through “mastery
experiences” (Bandura, 2006).
• As “hand holding” increases, opportunities for mastery experiences decrease. Ergo, there is less improvement on self-efficacy.
• As “hand holding” decreases, pre-course self-efficacy’s influence grows.
• At right level post-event efficacy improves.

How can I use this information?!
5 strategies for Enhancing Self-Efficacy• Emotional and Physiological arousal
– Relaxation techniques, calming fears
• Verbal Persuasion– Encouragement: convince yourself (or
your friends) success is result of self.
• Vicarious Experiences– observation of modeled behaviors
• Imagined Experience– imagining yourself in the experience
• Performance Experience– actual practice of the activity, “Practice makes perfect!”
