Category: Self-esteem stabilization
DefinitionHow learners explain their successes or failures to themselves substantially influences learning behavior. These (self-related) attributions have an impact on (learning) motivation. Self-efficacy beliefs influence the use of cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies. Learners should gain the impression that they themselves are decisive for their own learning behavior. It is therefore conducive to motivation if performance is attributed to internal and changeable rather than external and stable characteristics. This also influences the way difficulties are handled.

| If you don't know something, where do you get your information? |
| If you have done something well, it is important to be proud of yourself and praise yourself for your accomplishment. For example, you might give yourself a pat on the back and say, ‘Well done! |
| Don't be disappointed if it doesn't work out right away, we still have time to practice and right now the main thing is that you trust yourself to do it first. |
