Short Description

Professional self-efficacy is an important topic which is rarely taught in graduate programs. The goal of this proposal is to explore means and strategies for increasing professional self-efficacy of novice instructional designers enrolled in an advanced degree program. Using pre- and post-tests, course assignments, student and instructor interviews, and course evaluations, the presenters will discuss the implications of the results, and offer practical recommendations for developing professional self-efficacy of students in graduate courses.
