Question 3

“It should be the most important document a shareholder reads - - but the annual report is often less useful than it ought to be and change is needed…It’s too difficult and detailed to see the wood from the trees. Despite the multiple disclosures, one report is far from comparable with another, so it’s hard to benchmark against competitors.”  

“Its production was evidently left to people whose primary interest was not creating an efficient piece of communication. It fails, again and again, the first test of a management document, which is that the content must not be obscured by the presentation.”

Bandura (1997) stated that a person's belief about his or her ability to perform a specific task is one of the most powerful predictors of actually performing well on that task. In fact, Hattie (2009) found that a student's self-report of grades (one way to measure self-efficacy) was more than twice as powerful a predictor of student achievement as actual past performance (d=1.44; d=.67, respectively).

Distinguish the differences between self-efficacy and different measures of self-esteem (such as general self-esteem, academic, physical, or social self-esteem). Assess two classroom or professional practice situations that illustrate the concepts of self-efficacy and self-esteem and indicate what strategies might be used to enhance a weakness or capitalize on a strength.

How would you teach self-efficacy for a specific task to a student whose perceived self-efficacy was low?
