1. Mastery Experience: Showing students that they can master a task such as an exam would increase their self-efficacy and prove to them that if they did it once then they can do it again. 2. Vicarious Experience: When students see something done in front of them, they would be more confident that they can do it themselves since they have already seen it being done and so they are familiar with how it should be done. 3. Social and Verbal Persuasion: Receiving praise from others plays a big role in re-enforcing the students belief in their ability to do something. The more they are told how good of a job they are doing the higher their self-efficacy would get. 4. Physiological and Affective States: When students are physical tired or if they are in a bad emotional state, their confidence level drops and they are less likely to believe in their ability to achieve the set task. 5. Invitational Construct The way we think about and talk to ourselves affects our self-efficacy. If a person keeps telling themself they cant do something then they will not be able to do it.
