What Self-Efficacy Affects
Captions available
The idea
Self-efficacy affects which tasks students choose, how long they persist, and how they respond to failure, and each effect has a bright and a dark side.
In practice
A confident student persists through a hard proof, but that same persistence may go to a video game instead of homework.
Where people slip
High self-efficacy aims effort; it does not choose the goal.
