How does self-efficacy influence motivation and achievement?

Students with high self-efficacy have an interest in learning new things and like to challenge themselves. They also know how to deal with failures and come back stronger. These students set high goals for themselves and work towards achieving them no matter what it takes. They are motivated to achieve their goals and keep working towards doing so. No matter how long it takes to reach their desired goal, they remain consistent in the learning process. Similarly, students with low self-efficacy try to avoid what challenges them and are not serious about achieving their goals. They lack the enthusiasm and motivation that students with high self-efficacy tend to have. Read Full Lesson: Self-Efficacy Theory of Motivation in Education
