A Question of Calibration: A Review of the Self-Efficacy Beliefs of Students with Learning Disabilities.

Klassen, Rob

Learning Disability Quarterly, v25 n2 p88-102 Spr 2002

Findings from a review of 22 studies on self-efficacy beliefs of students with learning disabilities (LD) are discussed. Results suggest that in specific contexts (in the writing performance of students with specific writing difficulties, in particular) students appear to optimistically miscalibrate their self-efficacy. Methodological research problems are discussed. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
