In seeking the foundation for my research to set my \u2018blueprint\u2019, I would like \"\"<\/a>to explore the Social Constructivist Theory (SCT), and possibly the Self-Efficacy Theory.<\/p>\n

My research focuses on how feedback builds metacognition, the ability to monitor and direct one\u2019s learning, for online learners. With feedback as a catalyst in the metacognition, the construction of knowledge happens not only as an individual but also with other learners and instructors. With the facilitation of learning, the SCT states that a learner can change their perspective, be collaborative, and ultimately be responsible (Ruey, 2010). Therefore, the SCT provides a lens to discuss how and why feedback cultivates learning.<\/p>\n

A possible theory I am interested in and have been since LRNT 522 is self-efficacy. I wonder if SCT brings self-efficacy \u2013 is self-efficacy a framework or is it a result? According to Albert Bandura (1977), a person believes that they are capable of completing the task, leading to a change in behavior. The experience of the learner, with the lens of the Self-Efficacy Theory, gains confidence and self-worth due to their learning experience because of situations that engage the learner\u2019s emotional state and modeling of learning and mastery (Bandura, 1977). Feedback is a necessary part of a learning cycle, and feedback can increase the feeling or potential feeling success and higher self-efficacy.<\/p>\n

I am excited to dive deeper into SCT. I am wondering if self-efficacy is a framework to consider or is it apart of my research. Thoughts?<\/p>\n
