This document discusses self-efficacy and its two components: outcome expectancy and self-efficacy. Outcome expectancy involves beliefs about the results of particular actions, while self-efficacy pertains to personal beliefs about competence to perform tasks. Self-efficacy is influenced by four sources: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and physiological states. The document also states that teachers must believe their behaviors can affect student education, recognize their ability to make decisions that impact their role and student achievement, and feel competent and supported in their job.
