My self-efficacy for learning is very high. I have never entered a course and felt as if it was impossible for me to learn if I put in the amount of time necessary to perform well in the class. This is mainly due to my personal behavior history with educational classes and coursework. In my previous courses, I have always performed well and grown in my knowledge in correlation with how hard I have worked in the course. My hard work and ability has generally produced results that I am happy with, and at this point, when it fails to, it has little effect on my self-efficacy for learning overall. Additionally, the vicarious experience of watching peers who are older than me exceed in courses before I am able to take them has contributed to my …show more content…
I can reproduce a work of art, but I do not have the ability to create a work of art entirely on my own. I would also credit this low sense of self-efficacy to my personal behavior history. I never did all that well in art classes, and never volunteered myself for any portion of a group assignment that required creativity because any time I was forced to be creative it caused a lot of frustration and I never ended up with the result I desired. Now, when I do happen to pull off a slightly creative craft that I am pleased with, I don’t credit myself for my performance. I feel that the few successful moments I have as an “artist” have little impact on whether I consider myself capable of being creative. When considering vicarious experience, I have never seen myself as similar to my peers who are more creative and have the ability to produce beautiful works. Because of this, I do not look at their performances and think that I could do that too, I simply respect what they are doing and wish that I had that talent. Lastly, my physiological state highly influences my self-efficacy for creativity. If I am having a good day and I am not stressed, I feel more patient and am prepared to endure what ever disaster may occur in my pursuit of creating something. However, if I am trying to tackle a pinterest craft on a day where I am stressed by other factors of life, once I begin struggling with my creative ability the stress piles on and I do not produce the results
Of all my positive attributes, creativity is not one of them. I think of creativity as the ability to come up with new things, using one’s imagination to create beauty, induce laughter, and/or provoke emotion. My jokes are always corny, my drawing skills are comparable to a toddler’s, and I suck at telling stories. “Creative” definitely does not describe me.

The article defines Self-Efficacy (SE) as a person belief in his/her ability to perform a particular behavior successfully. Researcher suggests mothers’ self-efficacy (MSE) can be directly linked to the increase or decline of a child language development (Albarran & Reich, 2013). This theory is explored by observing 2 factors, perceived barriers and parents’ knowledge and exposure to reading material concerning child development. There are 3 barrier discussed in these article’s. Parent centered barrier looks at the particular situation that would prevent or in decrease a parent from interacting with a child i.e. being too tire, having to work, or just being too busy. Child –centered barriers focus on the child lack of interest in any particular task i.e. being fussy, tired or just not being interested. The last barrier is structural; this particular barrier looks at environment factor that should possible effect (MSE) i.e. nosy back ground, and little exposure to reading material (Lin, Reich, Kataoka, & Farkas, 2015).
When it comes to creativity, it is all about having the willingness to go out there and make a name for yourself. It is said that success isn’t coming from just copying someone else’s abilities and do the same as well. It’s all about learning and innovating your own abilities to prove that you are a difference maker. Try to ask yourself. What makes you really different than the others in terms of preparing recipes?
Imagine you are walking down the street and you witness someone drop a hundred-dollar bill. What will you do? Will you pick it up and place it in your pocket or will you approach the individual and return the money? Per Gottfredson and Hirschi, people who decide to do the right thing and return the money have a high sense of self-control. Yet, the theories believe that the individuals who keep the money have lower self-control.
Self-efficacy is the belief that someone has the inherent ability to achieve a goal. A student who has a high self-efficacy allows himself to believe that he can be successfully academically.(Bozo & Flint, 2008) He believes that a challenging problem is a task that can be mastered This student is more committed to work in the classroom. (Schunk,1991). On the other hand, a student who has a low level of self-efficacy is likely to be academically motivated. He is more likely to avoid a task that is difficult, give up, make excuses, or lose confidence in his abilities (Margolis & McCabe, 2006). This failure becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Teachers need to find ways to motivate these students by increasing their self-efficacy.

I always doubt my abilities with my creativity and confidence which is one thing I can work on to get over this is to be more confident with all of my work and dig a little deeper with my creativity when it comes to projects like
...ning and evaluation of my learning. I have become more motivated to do the course as I have been responsible of my own learning and identifying resources for learning, therefore, have more confident in making decision.
Unlike other questionnaires, this assessment tool measures a person’s beliefs about their creativity (Silvia, Wigert, Reiter-Palmon, & Kaufman, 2011). A person can view themselves different than another onlooker can which of course can prove to be a negative factor when predicting validity of this assessment. The CDQ requires a person to self-report using a scale of 6 points to self-assess their creativity in 56 areas. A revised version of the questionnaire, CDQ-R, limited the number of domains and allowed for grouping of these 21 domains into four categories. Chemistry, drama, crafts and teaching are domains that this test assesses, but they are grouped with other similar domains for better analysis of scores. One positive result of this test is the validity it has proven to have in predicting per...
The cause of avoidance of failure could be due to the low self-efficacy. This can be explained by the attribution theory, which deals with students-perceived causes of success and failure in school tasks. Self-efficacy (Bandura, 1997) refers to the individual’s expectation of success at a particular task. Students’ perception of the causes for their success and failure at their school assignment will then have a direct impact on their motivation to try (Stipek, 2002). This can be seen in my students in which the negative feelings of self-efficacy has caused them see little value in trying as they believe that they are likely to fail.
The concept of self-efficacy is grounded in Bandura’s (1977) social learning theory. Bandura (1994) defines perceived self-efficacy as “people’s beliefs about their capabilities to produce efforts” (p. 71). In essence, one having strong self-efficacy experience increase in motivation, accomplishment, and personal well-being ( Bandura, 1994). Those with a low sense of self-efficacy, on the other hand, often suffer stress and depression; unbelieving of their capabilities and often succumbed to failure (Bandura, 1994).
Creativity is the ability to join ideas together in a unique way or to make uncommon connections between ideas. Creativity allows individuals to develop different ideas and methods to use when approaching tasks and problems. Most individuals have creative potential, however many do not know how to access it. Creative individuals possess traits that others do not. These traits can include independence, confidence, positive self-evaluation, problem solving skills, and perseverance . These skills have become increasingly important in organizations in today’s Information Age.
Creativity is using imagination to create beautiful work.I believe that creativity can be taught. The main reason I believe creativity can be taught is because all the best artist,musicians and athletes took in a lot of practice before they reached the top in their respective art.Even though I believe that creativity can be taught some people are born more creative than others.My creative process is kind of complicated,as I was not born with any creativity and I haven't really been taught in any creative field nor put in any practice.
Since I was very young, art has been a major part of my life. I lived for creating new things, whether it was on paper, made of clay, or created from wood. Due to my dedication, I have advanced in my art and bring many people entertainment. If creativity had not been implied, no one would have enjoyed the drawings or paintings I had made. Especially in todays world where billions of people are corrupted by the internet and find no time to be...
