17. What is Self-Efficacy? Self-Efficacy is a person’s beliefs about his or her ability to complete a task Self-Efficacy Influences a person’s choice of what activities he or she will pursue how much effort a person will put into an activity how long a person will persevere

18. Self-Efficacy and Students People with a strong sense of self-efficacy: View challenging problems as tasks to be mastered Develop deeper interest in the activities in which they participate Form a stronger sense of commitment to their interests and activities Recover quickly from setbacks and disappointments People with a weak sense of self-efficacy: Avoid challenging tasks Believe that difficult tasks and situations are beyond their capabilities Focus on personal failings and negative outcomes Quickly lose confidence in personal abilities Retrieved from:http://psychology.about.com/od/theoriesofpersonality/a/self_efficacy.htmhttp://psychology.about.com/od/theoriesofpersonality/a/self_efficacy.htm

19. Self-Efficacy and Academic Success Academic Success (Multon, Brown & Lent, 1991) 39 self-efficacy studies Higher levels of self-efficacy revealed increased academic success Perseverance (Komarraju & Nadler, 2013) 407 undergraduate students Increased self-efficacy led to perseverance with difficult academic tasks Avoidance ( Bandura, 1987) People tend to avoid behaviors or activities when they don’t believe they possess the skills or abilities to successfully accomplish the desired outcome Low academic self-efficacy could lead to avoiding academic tasks

20. Students with Disabilities Self-Efficacy Students with learning disabilities have lower self-efficacy than university students without learning disabilities. Klassen (2008) Note Taking Student’s record only half of the notes presented orally in lectures (Lock, 1977) Students had difficulty determining what to write, writing quickly, and paying attention during course lectures. (Hughes & Suritsky, 1993). Students have difficulty making sense of what they had written when reviewing their notes (Hughes & Suritsky, 1993).

21. How to improve Self-Efficacy 1. Mastery Experiences Performing a task successfully 2. Social Modeling Watching someone else perform a task successfully 3. Social Persuasion Encouragement 4. Psychological Responses Excitement or nerves can impact how we perceive a situation ( Bandura, 1977)

22. Current Study Purpose to test the influence of using a smart pen for a semester on the self-efficacy for learning of students with academic disabilities. Hypothesis Students with ADHD or LD will have higher levels of academic self-efficacy after using a smart pen for a semester compared to their pre-treatment self-efficacy Participants 50 University students with ADHD or LD registered with Disability Support Services

23. Current Study: Measure Self-Efficacy for Learning Scale Form A (SELF-A) Procedure

24. Current Study: Design Design Experimental Design Random Assignment of participants Pre and post test for self-efficacy

25. Current Study: Procedure 1) All participants fill out the SELF-A at beginning of semester 2) 25 participants are randomly assigned to treatment group and will receive a Livescribe smart pen and a training section with note-taking strategies 3) 25 participants are randomly assigned to control group and will receive general note taking strategies

26. Current Study: Procedure 4) All students will be reminded to use note taking strategies half way through semester 5) All students will take the SELF-A at the end of the semester

27. Current Study: Expected Findings The difference between the pre and post test scores on the SELF-A will be calculated for each student The mean differences between pre and post scores will be compared between the treatment and the control group Expected Findings Mean difference between pretest and posttest self-efficacy scores will be significantly greater for the treatment group compared to the control group.
