Studies have shown that preservice teachers' self-efficacy belief is related to academic success. To illustrate, in a study of urban preservice teachers' self-efficacy and the accuracy of assessing their own academic learning, Chen and Bembenutty (2005) found that preservice teachers who had higher self-efficacy and used time and study environment management strategies exerted more effort than those with lower efficacy. Preservice teachers exerting more effort were also more accurate in assessing their performance capabilities, and subsequently scored higher on their practice tests. In this vein, the present study ...

Perceptions of one's environment and functional status have been linked to physical activity in older adults. However, little is known about these associations over time, and even less about the possible mediators of this relationship. We examined the roles played by neighborhood satisfaction, functional limitations, self-efficacy, and physical activity in a sample of older women over a 6-month period. Participants ( N = 137, M age = 69.6 years) completed measures of neighborhood satisfaction, ...

Larry has an interesting background: he spent the first twenty years of his career as a community organizer in California, often working with foreign-born populations. When he became a high school teacher six years ago, he realized that many of the strategies he used as an organizer translated easily to the classroom. We’ve asked him to detail the ways he’s adapted what he calls the Organizing Cycle to his current students, and he’s provided some very easy and quick ...

The Morgan-Jinks Student Efficacy Scale (MJSES) was designed to gain information about student efficacy beliefs that might relate to school success. Although self report measures seeking similar data do exist the majority of these are focused on older students including adults. Gorrell and Capron, 1988 and 1989; Gorrell and Partridge, 1985, Hackett and Campbell, 1987 are a few cases in point. In other cases, self efficacy data are presented with little accompanying information about the measure itself (Andrews & Debus, 1978; Marsh, et. al., 1991). In yet others, self efficacy data is gleaned from a more concrete activity ...
Victor Frankel in his book in Search of Meaning (pag 126) claims that
when polled US college students show 60% didn't have a reason to live

question of what is the meaning or purpose of my life. This statement
was made back in the early 80's. I am looking for more information
about this concept in out times and what ramifications it has. Hello proffesor-ga,
Viktor Frankel?s book, Man?s Search for Meaning, popularized his
philosophy which he called logotherapy. I?ve collected a variety of
resources to help you with examining his work ...
