This chapter focuses on the intentional design of telementoring projects to enhance self-efficacy beliefs. The emphasis is on a pragmatic approach to design. Self-efficacy is defined and its importance is detailed. Intentional design which focuses upon addressing the four influences on efficacy of mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological state is advocated. A design-based drama telementoring research study which employed the best practices of self-efficacy and telementoring research is examined. Capacity, illustrative vignettes, and design implications for each of the four influences on self-efficacy are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
