The Different Sources of Self- - PowerPoint Presentation

The Different Sources of Self- Efficacy and its affects on Arithmetic Performance A study based on the theories of Albert Bandura Presented by Victor Garate and Lorenzo Gonzalez

Born on December 4, 1925He is still ALIVE! (90 years old)University of British ColumbiaUniversity of Iowa Married Virginia Varns in 1952Mary and Carol Biography Cuter than Vygotsky

1974- Elected for 82nd President of APA1980- Elected as Fellow  of the American Academy of Arts & SciencesAward from APA for Distinguished Scientific Contributions 1999- Received Thorndike Award2001- Lifetime Achievement Award James McKeen Cattell AwardGold Medal Award Bandura’s Achievements

1961- Conducted experiment to investigate if social behaviors can be acquired by observation and imitation.3 separate groups: Aggressive Model, Non-Aggressive Model, No Model Bandura’s Bobo Doll Experiment

Self-Efficacy- Refers to an individual’s belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainmentsIt is NOT confidence or self-esteemSelf-efficacy is concerned with one’s own judgements of personal capabilities What is Self-Efficacy?

Four Sources of Self-Efficacy(How to Raise It) Mastery Experience- The most influential source of efficacy. It is a repeated action of a certain activity which generally tends to raise efficacy Vicarious Experience (Modeling)- It is a social comparison process. It is experienced as “If they can do it, I can do it as well” Verbal Persuasion (Social Persuasion)- A means of strengthening one’s beliefs through “positive talk” by significant and influential people. Judgements of Physiological States- Physical states in which affect efficacy levels. Main ways to raise efficacy would be to enhance physical status, reduce stress levels and correct misinterpretations of bodily states.

“People who regard themselves as highly efficacious act, think and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as inefficacious. They produce their own future, rather than simply foretell it” Cognitive Process- Impacts the cognitive processes by influencing anticipatory scenarios humans construct. Motivation Process-Impacts motivation by deter-mining goal level, perseverance and resilience . Affective Process- Emotional and physiological reactions are affected by levels of self-efficacy. Selection Process- I mpacts types of activities and environments people choose. Why is Self-Efficacy Important to Bandura? Still cuter than Vygotsky

Does Mastery Experience raise self-efficacy?Does Vicarious Experience raise self-efficacy?Does Verbal Persuasion raise self-efficacy? Our Study

Does heightened self-efficacy result into better successes and higher motivation?Side Note

All three sources of self-efficacy tested, will in fact raise self-efficacy The raised self-efficacy will heighten motivation and performance Hypothesis

Two 7th graders2 Worksheets -Easy worksheet (1 minute) -Difficult worksheet (1 minute) Procedure for Group 1 Study & Question: Does mastery experience raise self-efficacy? Self Efficacy (0-10) Efficacy Level 0-2 0 3-6 1 7-8 2 9-10 3

Mastery experience raises self-efficacy and increases performance.Easy WorksheetDifficult Worksheet Results: Scores (Group 1) Student Efficacy Level Scores Student 1 3 100% (with 15 seconds left) Student 2 2 100% Student Efficacy Level Scores Student 1 275%Student 2369%

Three 5th graders2 easy worksheets with different time to complete1 minute 45 seconds Procedure for Group 2 Study & Question: Does verbal persuasion raise self-efficacy?

Verbal persuasion raises self-efficacy which increases motivation.Time duration: 1 minute Verbal persuasion after students were asked if they can finish in less time. 2 of 3 students had self-efficacy raisedTime duration: 45 seconds Results: Scores (Group 2) Student Efficacy Level Score Student 1 3 80% Student 2 2 100% Student 3 3100%Student Efficacy LevelScoreStudent 1180%Student 2280%Student 32100%

Conclusions WE WERE RIGHT!!!

Not enough studentsDid not take their physiological state into accountWorksheets were not for the students specific grade levelSchool is ranked 12 th in nation and 3rd in Texas for math efficiency!Response to self-efficacy level was possibly affected by peer’s response Limitations of Our Study

Does high self-efficacy have a negative effect due to lack of preparation for given tasks?Does low efficacy have a positive effect due to them preparing more for a given task? Other Questions
