SELF Model

The SELF Model (Self-Efficacy, Learning, and Functioning) describes how our belief in our abilities (self-efficacy) influences our motivation to learn and perform tasks. When we trust we can succeed, we're more likely to engage, persist through challenges, and improve over time. This model emphasizes that fostering self-efficacy enhances learning outcomes and overall functioning. It's used in education and therapy to help individuals build confidence, develop skills, and achieve their goals by strengthening their belief in their own capabilities.
