Essay on Self Efficacy and Albert Bandura Research...

Description

Reflection According to psychologist Albert Bandura, who initially introduced the term, self-efficacy is a pe rsonal decision of”how well one can carry out the courses of action needed to deal with future cir cumstances." From multiple viewpoints, psychologists have examined self-efficacy (Albanese, Russo & Geller, 2019). Educator Kathy Kolbe continues, "Belief in innate abilities means appreciating the unique collection of cognitive capabilities of one. It also requires persistence and perseverance to conquer chal lenges that would interfere with the use of such innate abilities to achieve objectives." There is a strong impact on the academic career since self-efficacy increases the efficiency of learning new things and applying on right points. Higher the self-efficacy of a student, better is his or her growth in an academic career (Fong et al., 2018). Self-efficacy is thus directly proportional to academic growth. I have chosen this topic because of the fact that learning is one of the most essential growths of a child as soon as he or she joins school. However, from the day he or she learns to understand things, cognitive development begins. For this development, various modifications are needed which is well associated with the academic life of the child. Parents have been found to play a major role in this phenomena. From this point of view, it can be said that more is the efficiency of learning more is the effectiveness of a child in understanding things and being successful in life. Self-efficacy is one such tool by which one can grow better in any field. Since we are talking for elementary to middle school children, self-efficacy and estimation is needed at the maximum

level. This is because of the fact that during this time period, children learn a lot of things which are the key to their success in future. Not only school teachers but also parents are responsible for the same. For almost 10 hours, children stay at home and for the rest 6-10 hours they stay at school on an overall basis. Within this time period, children learn a lot of things and experience new ways of learning also. To guide children through their learning process and make them realise about their self-efficacy, parents play a major role. They assist their children in choosing the best way of learning which has the highest efficacy for a better growth in their academic career. In our school, we utilize various ways of learning to make the students adapt to new learning techniques and also assess them by taking quarterly examinations. This process allows us to check whether the children are learning properly with moderate to high self-efficacy or not. The same also makes the parents devise a better mode of education and learning for their children after observing the results after the examination.
