Building Self-Efficacy in Learners

Image
 As someone who struggled in their academic studies in the past, I find self-efficacy from the theory of social learning particularly interesting. Self-efficacy describes a link between learning and motivation. Someone with a stronger sense of self-efficacy is more motivated and puts more effort since they believe there will be positive outcomes from all that work. For example, that their goals will be attained or that the difficult task will be accomplished. This same person is likely to challenge difficult tasks and stick to it. They will experience setbacks just like anyone else, but will likely see them something that can be worked on to be fixed or overcome- instead of setbacks being out of their control and thereby things that will never change.

What is Digital Pedagogy?

The focus is not on the digital tools themselves but how the most basic architecture of our interactions with and through machines can inspire pedagogies . It is looking at how ways of learning, teaching and instruction can be fundamentally different now because of what digital technologies ha...

Forced Group Work

There is a thought in education that learning happens in a social environment. This is called social learning.  For brick-and-mortar classes and courses, students and instructors get to know each other and connect quite naturally. Chatting happens before and after class. Conversations naturally flow. Humans are social beings and a sense of belonging and community is needed for learning.  How do we do this in an online learning environment? For teachers and those designing learning online, thought needs to be given on how to help students develop a sense of community with each other during their online class. One strategy is giving students group work. The intent is that students can get to know one another and feel connected when they are given as assignment to work on together. This, in turn, helps them not to feel so alone and also exposes the learner to different perspectives and experiences from their classmates, enriching their learning. This is the intention of group wor...
