Students have to approach academic tasks in chemistry with confidence. How can teachers help their students develop confidence According to Bandura (1977, 1982, 1997), students construct their self-efficacy beliefs in a given domain of activity based on information from four major sources performance accomplishments, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and physiological and emotional states. In the paragraphs that follow, I discuss each of these sources. It is important to note that the information from these four sources is not, by itself, diagnostic of a... 

The work of Sawtelle, Brewe, and Kramer (2012) revealed that there might be gender differences in the effects of the four sources of information. They found that the success of male students in an introductoiy physics course was predicted by performance accomplishment experiences alone, but only vicarious experience was a significant predictor of female student success.

In doing so, he raises a number of complex questions. In the first plaee there is the question shared by all the plays which acknowledge the soldier-at-home paradigm what is the role for a soldier out of wartime, and is he doomed to be an inevitably disraptive figure Shakespeare s interest in discussion of this issue seems pretty certain to have been bom from personal and vicarious experience of the actual phenomenon of soldiers returning from the conflicts in France and Holland in the 1590s and from Ireland in the years after the respective returns of the Essex and Mountjoy expeditions. Other issues, however, seem more closely tied to the precise historical moment of Coriolanus itself, and they can perhaps be summed up as the question of what is the role of a militarised society when the casus belli has been removed - or is it, in fact, not the case that it has been removed, because it was never really external in the first place ... 

A principal focus of the DIM is on the ways in which physical impacts such as casualties and damage cause social impacts through the direct experience of the impact area population. However, some of those in the impact area do not experience damage or casualties, and this is also true for the entire population outside the impact area. Unlike direct experience, which occurs when people are themselves casualties or experience damage to their own property, vicarious experience occurs when people learn about casualties or damage experienced by others. Direct experience has a very powerful effect on people s beliefs and behavior, but it generally happens to a relatively small proportion of the population. By contrast, vicarious experience has a weaker effect on people s beliefs and behavior than direct experience, but can affect a much larger proportion of the population.
