question 40

Essay

Students' self-perceptions related to school subject matter affect their learning and performance in the classroom. Imagine that you are a teacher with several students who have very little self-confidence regarding their ability to perform in your class. Simply giving them encouragement-for example, "You can do it if you try!"-may not be especially effective. Keeping in mind the factors that affect students' sense of self, describe three different strategies you might use to enhance your students' confidence that they can succeed in school. Describe each of these strategies in terms of specific things that you might do in the classroom.
