Preconceived notions & Self-efficacy

Driscoll summarizes Bandura’s self-efficacy this way,“people
make judgements about their ability to perform certain
actions required to achieve a desirable outcome. Then, based
on their judgments, they proceed or not to engage in those
actions.” (Driscoll, p. 316) Bandura’s self-efficacy
describes very well what kids bring with them. I’ve noticed
those issues in my own learning. I hope we all remember and
your post reminds me of this, that all preconceived notions
can be altered. The function of the brain can be improved and
through the positives you discuss we can make a difference.
