What is Self Efficacy?
"Self-Efficacy is defined as people's beliefs
about their capabilities to produce
designated levels of performance that
exercise influence over events that
affect their lives."
-Albert Bandura
Self-efficacy beliefs determine
how people think, feel,
motivate themselves and
behave. Self-efficacy is more
than self-confidence.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Why is it Important?
High Self-Efficacy
- Willing to try new tasks
- Welcomes and seeks challenges
- Perseveres when things get tough.
Self-efficacy is a person's judgement about being able to perform a particular task. Unlike self-esteem, self-efficacy reflect how confident students are about performing SPECIFIC tasks.
Therefore, a high self-efficacy in one are may not coincide with high self-efficacy in another area.
Low Self-Efficacy
- Avoidance behavior (of tasks)
- Give up easily
- Becomes anxious with tasks because they anticipate failure
What Affects Our Self Efficacy?
If a student has been successful at a skill in the past, they will probably believe that they will succeed at that skill in the future.
Past Performance
It is important to stress that self-efficacy is NOT itself an ability, but rather a perception of one's capabilities. Even though you can be influenced by extrinsic sources, it is purely intrinsic in that nobody can raise your self-efficacy except you.
When a student sees another student accomplish a task, the vicarious experience of observing a model can also have a strong influence on self-efficacy.
Vicarious Experiences
Telling your students, "You can do this."
