Self-efficacy, or the feeling of competence that you have the skills and ability to accomplish a task, is a critical element behind developing intrinsic motivation (see Creating the Conditions for Student Motivation).
One of the ways to help our students develop this kind of self-efficacy in academic endeavors is to help them become knowledgeable about learning strategies and skills that they can use, particularly when they come up against a concept, word, or problem that they might be having trouble understanding.
