Are you in a (dis)comfort zone?

Self-efficacy is the belief in your ability to succeed in achieving a specific goal or task. The higher your self-efficacy is, the more you believe you are capable of accomplishing the task.

After the video, you’ll have a chance to talk with a peer to reflect on connections to your own experiences. As you watch, what resonates with you?

Pair activity

1. Create your web site using the platform of your choice (such as a google site or wordpress).

2. Create your first reflection entry:

Write a short reflection (2-3 paragraphs) on your level of self-efficacy for working on one or more of the following projects. How confident are you that you could succeed in completing it? You can use these prompts to guide your reflection:

• Your belief in your ability to succeed at a task is influenced by your current skills, past experiences and availability of resources. How do these factor into your self-efficacy in working on such a project?

• You can increase self-efficacy by noticing small successes. Can you imagine building upon them?

• Self-efficacy can be impacted by comparing yourself to other people. Are you making a fair social comparison?
