Self efficacy
As I am going through my teaching materials was class, I read an example that reminds me of my childhood.
I participated in some story telling competition when I was young. My mother and sister spent time training me and even taught me how to do actions together with the story telling. On that day, I did not do the actions and was just telling the story because the child before me didn't do it. In the end, I won second place. My mother was saying that if I did the actions, I might win first prize.
I think I felt sad for not doing the actions since I have practiced hard and I could have won first place if I did it. But then again, I always had a habit of looking at what people do and follow. I guessed nothing right or wrong as I could have done the actions and still get second prize.
Now thinking back, the great thing about participating was to have my family members coming to support me, even my aunt, granny and cousin came too. I recalled enjoying the practice sessions with mom and sister and I was so brave to perform in front of a huge crowd in the hall of community centre. I guessed I have grown now to be able to reflect that it's really the process that was enjoyable and important and not so much on the result. :) Of cuz, if I won first place, that would be a bonus. :p
