Self-Efficacy Theory and Self-Regulation Theory
How do you judge your ability to accomplish a goal? The concept of self-efficacy refers to beliefs you possess regarding your own capabilities to complete a task successfully. For example, some artists might rate themselves as having a high self-efficacy for painting, but having a low self-efficacy for writing. In most instances, before initiating actions and engaging in behaviors leading to goal attainment, individuals assess the amount of time and effort they are willing to spend in its pursuit. Because human beings tend to choose the road of least resistance, especially when they anticipate difficulties along the way, self-efficacy theory helps them assess their capabilities to reach personal and professional goals successfully.
By practicing principles posited by self-regulation theory, human beings are able to monitor and adjust their behaviors in order to reach personal and professional goals. The ability to choose behaviors likely to lead to goal attainment and reject behaviors likely to lead to goal failure provides individuals with effective self-management skills.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 a brief explanation of how self-efficacy theory (personal goal setting) contributes to self-regulation theory. Then select one theory (self-efficacy or self-regulation) and explain how that theory might be applied to complete your graduate degree. Be specific and provide examples.

Social media current event Powerpoint and speech draft
Because Social media is such a fluid and changing medium, a big part of our understanding and learning is gaining perspective from people that may not use social media the way we do. For this assignment we will be learning from each other by sharing an area of interest that you can “teach” and inform your peers about.
- Prepare a ppt on an area of your interest in Social Media
- 5-6 slide to support a 10-15 minute presentation.
- Be sure to give appropriate context/background to support your discussion (i.e. explain the social media platform of your choice and any applicable history and any surrounding events that would impact class understanding of your topic)
- A great presentation is one that contains an opinion supported by facts vs. just a collaboration of facts. See example below.
- Be sure to include any relevant sources on the final page of the ppt.
Bad Example: This is WeChat and this is how I use it.
Great Example: WeChat is poised for international expansion due to its success in Asia.
Bad Example: Here are my favorite social influencers The Kardashians and here are some of my favorite posts.
Great Example: The Kardashians have used social media to build their empire in a way supported most by Instagram. Here are the brand components they have used to build their brand and this is how social media has supported it.
