I think the self efficacy theory of motivation (Bandura, 1977) fits as a grounding base for my research because I am looking at how the digital learning environment may be used to assist students in achieving success on an objective structured clinical evaluation (OSCE). Currently, I seem to be focused on success primarily being reduced anxiety and passing the OSCE, though have not fully fleshed this out what \u201csuccess\u201d means yet. OSCEs are commonly used in healthcare education and are seen as reliable and valid ways of assessing a healthcare students\u2019 competency to perform in a real-life clinical environment (Harden et al.,1975; Massey et al., 2017). However, they are often viewed by students as very stressful, (Kalantari et al., 2017; Marshall & Jones, 2003) which may impact their performance.<\/p>\n

High self efficacy is thought to be an indicator that a person will be successful in completing a goal\/task (Transforming Education, 1977). In my context the goal\/task would be passing an OSCE. According to Bandura (1977), there are four main factors that influence an individual\u2019s self efficacy:<\/p>\n
