Self-efficacy is important because it weighs on a person’s
judgment on their ability to perform a certain task. Most people are willing to do particular
tasks when they believe that they are capable of succeeding (Ormrod, 2008).
•Self-efficacy asks the question "How well can I do this?"
•High self-efficacy in one area may not coincide with high self-efficacy in another area
•Self-efficacy is more predictive of learner’s behaviors than self-concept and self-esteem

BEHAVIOR
Self-efficacy affects several aspects of a person’s behavior. People choose activities in which they believe that can excel in. They set goals high for themselves in an area where they have high self-efficacy. People with high self-efficacy also exert more effort and keep going when the going gets tough. However, once they have achieved mastery of something, they no longer have the need for exertion because it comes easy and naturally (Ormrod, 2008).
LEARNING
Learners should have a general idea about what they can and cannot do; however, people with high self-efficacy tend to learn and achieve more than those with low levels even though they have the same level of abilities (Ormrod, 2008).
