Role-Play Assignment: Criticism and Self-Efficacy
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW:
Read the message posted by Jamie, a “student” in your online introductory psychology class (you have not heard from her previously on this issue). Consider how you might respond to Jamie in order to improve her level of self-efficacy. Finally, think about how theories of self-efficacy might support your approach.
JAIME STATEMENT BELOW:
JAIME: am so confused by this class. read and reread the assignments, but just don’t get it. really don’t think the instructor likes me, (he or she) just isn’t giving clear instructions, and the book is so hard. Does anyone else feel this way?
DIRECTIONS TO WRITE PAPER:
Submit your response to Jamie’s post. Your document should include the following parts:
1. Jamie’s original post
2. A response to Jamie’s post that may positively impact Jamie’s self-efficacy
3. An explanation of how you think your response might increase Jamie’s self-efficacy; apply self-efficacy theory to support your explanation
