Abstract
-
This paper investigates how self-reflection can impact self-efficacy and how student choice impacts participation through the lens of self-determination theory (Ford, 2019). The author explores how her own educational experience as an unmotivated student shaped her pedagogical approach to support students' beliefs in their capacity for intellectual growth as well as self-efficacy. Although the data collected from 56 students over a two week project resulted in more questions than answers, it also demonstrated an increase in self-efficacy overall that is worthy of investigating further.
