Building Student Self-Efficacy
Self efficacy refers to an individuals belief in his or her ability to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performances (Albert Bandura). In this workshop we explore how we are able, as teachers, to develop our students’ academic self efficacy through an understanding of the five components which make up this psychological construct. We look at concrete examples of how we as teachers can use this knowledge to strengthen our students belief in themselves and in turn create a positive impact on their learning and self esteem.
“SUCCESS AND FAILURE
ARE LARGELY SELF DEFINED.”
– Albert Bandura
These training sessions can be tailored to suit your school’s available time frames and range from a 2 hour session to a full day in-depth training.
WHO ARE THESE SESSIONS AIMED AT?
Schools and Teachers who are looking to expand their knowledge of the development of perceived self efficacy in students and the impact this has on their ability to succeed at school.
WHAT DO THE SESSIONS CONSIST OF?
During these sessions Teachers will learn how to understand the concept of self efficacy and how to develop an approach to teaching which will increase the levels of self efficacy within their students.
WHY ARE THESE SKILLS IMPORTANT?
For students to achieve their true potential they need to believe that they have the skills and abilities to tackle the tasks placed in front of them. By understanding how this is achieved we, as teachers, are able to assist our students in developing this important internal attribute.
HOW LONG DO THESE SESSIONS LAST?
These sessions can be tailor made to suit each school and the time frames they have available. We will work with each school to ensure that they get the best possible solution for them.
