-Self-worth theory - a person's ability to achieve is directly linked to their perceptions of themselves.
"protect their sense of worth or self-value," even if it infringes on the ultimate outcome of their achievement (Covington, 1984, p. 4).
One's self-perception of ability; how one defines ability or the lack thereof.
or
-Individuals often equate effort with success.
CONTINUE
-This explains why students today often confuse ability with worth.
From a psychological perspective, school achievement, in the minds of most of today's youth, is primarily revolves around maintaining a positive self-image of one’s abilities.
-Excuses Serve as Self-Protection by:
(Covington, 2009, p.145)
Today, people increasingly equivocate what one is capable of accomplishing with their value.
Example:
I can't operate this Macbook Pro, but others can. I feel inadequate as a result of not being able to do something others can.
Especially when facing competitive failure.
-Outcome/Result
How one performs a given task can also influence one's perception of his/her self worth.
The converse can also be true. For instance,
if an individual puts forth little effort and still succeeds, he/she may devalue the outcome's worth and therefore his/her own self-worth.
-Success-oriented individuals:
Robert is a student who's mother is no longer present in his life, and his father works most of the time to pay the bills. Robert leaves school on time each day to pick up his younger sisters from Elementary school. Recently, Robert's Drama teacher has asked him to play the lead role in a play Robert has read and memorized independently, and the rehersals will be held after school.

Directions: The following are a list of situations that you will be asked to identify.
Identify what is lacking (ability or willingness), and what you believe the student's level of self-worth is.
Create your own scenario, and ask the partner you THINK-PAIR-SHARED with at the beginning of class to support, in the same way, his/her answers.
