I'm reminded of Bob Toynton's observation on teaching part-time degree modules to adult learners at TILL over a good number of years: "At the beginning of a module there's always just the right amount of confidence in the room, it just needs distributing more evenly". Perhaps there is a greater need to build self-belief/efficacy amongst younger undergraduates, but too much self-efficacy can also become a brake to further independent learning if not handled resourcefully and with critical awareness.Willy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914703230693786366noreply@blogger.com
