Paper 1
Revise: Dweck’s Mindset Theory, Praise and Self-EfficacySelf-efficacy is a person's belief in their ability to succeed at a particular task. It differs from mindset: mindset concerns whether ability can change, while self-efficacy concerns whether you believe you can accomplish something specific.
Distinguish belief that ability can develop (growth mindset) from belief that you can succeed at a particular task (self-efficacy).
Do not claim that a growth mindset guarantees success or that a correlation between self-efficacy and achievement proves causation.
