EFFICACY (Self-) 2)
← Back
A self-referent process that gives meaning and value to external events"
This definition by A. BAN DURA is quoted by R. NUMMELA CAINE and M. CAINE (1994, p.80)
The concept is clearly related to the basic notions of autopoiesis.
It also reminds of J.J. GIBSON's concept of affordance (1966, 1986).
Creating self-efficacy in learners and trainees is surely as important as transmitting them knowledge or skills.
