Self-efficacy refers to the perceptions an individual has about their capabilities to perform at an expected level, achieve goals, and complete moderately challenging tasks. Students can increase their self-efficacy with specific strategies like positive self-talk, focusing on their growth over time, taking deep breaths when they are feeling anxious, and learning from the experiences of others.
The first section shows your students' self-rated behaviors on the two components of self-efficacy.
1. Focus on your effort, progress, and learning
2. Take steps to increase your confidence in your abilities
The graph provides average ratings for all items within a component, and the table displays the number of students that selected each rating for individual items. Some items, such as "I want to quit when I'm told I did something incorrectly," are reverse scored. Selecting a rating of '1 - Not Very Like Me' means that students are demonstrating a growth mindset and the ability to learn from mistakes, whereas if they selected a rating of '5 - very like me' they currently have a fixed mindset in that area.
