METHODS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING SELF-EFFICACY IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The article reveals the essence of one of the important psychological determinants of student personality, namely self-efficacy of personality. To do this, the author describes the main provisions of the social and cognitive theory of Albert Bandura, which reveals levels of self-efficacy at the personal level and their impact on the emotional state of the individual. The relationship between professional skills, teaching style and teacher’s self-esteem with students’ self-efficacy level is also described. It is concluded that the development of students’ cognitive skills is highly dependent on the talent and self-efficacy of the teacher who creates the learning environment. The paper also develops recommendations for developing self-efficacy in students in the classroom as part of the educational process in higher education institutions, which will lead to positive outcomes for both students and teachers. To do this, it examines how self-efficacy strongly supports the view that students’ confidence and perseverance outweigh innate abilities.
