The accuracy of self-efficacy: a comparison of high school and college students.
Abstract
There are perhaps two views of what constitutes accurate self-efficacy: the competence view (based on norm-referencing) and the beliefs view (based on criterion-referencing). In this study, we compared the accuracy of self-efficacy for a punctuation task across three educational levels (11th grade students, college freshmen, and college juniors) and found differences in accuracy among the groups from both the competence and the beliefs views. Results are attributed to the types of correctional feedback teachers give at each educational level.
