Discussion Thread: Self-Efficacy Development in Schools
The textbook and the Watch: Self-Efficacy - Dylan Wiliam video suggest that one way of promoting self-efficacy and self-worth is to encourage students to focus on their own improvement, in other words, the idea of self-comparison rather than comparison with others. What common practices in schools encourage students to compare themselves with others? With themselves? What are the impacts (positive, negative, and/or neutral) of these practices?
