How Teachers Can Build a Child’s Self-efficacy

During the Child Development course at Northwest Christian University, students were able to learn about the self-efficacy and self-esteem of a child and how both can be influenced by teacher interaction. The goal of our presentation is to provide learners with information on what self-efficacy means, how it differs from self-esteem, and why such a concept is important. We have done this through giving examples of how a teacher can build a child’s self-efficacy through processes such as verbal encouragement, mastery experience, emotional support, and vicarious experience. Lastly, we have corroborated our findings with the studies and outcomes that have been researched from teacher influence in the classroom.
