Which kind of learner are you? What strategies could you use to deal with an entity learner (consider low - efficacy and high - efficacy).

     I am an incremental learner. I like to learn things step by step and understand them completely before trying to move on to the next level. Building on what I have learned and applying that information to the next level of the cycle.
     Also, to deal with an entity learner I would use a personal example of low - efficacy from myself. I would explain to the student that I have had doubts about my potential and ability as well and that I have been able to accomplish my goals in spite of that doubt.
     On the other hand, I would use a high - efficacy approach by giving a student positive feedback and helping them build self - regulating learning in order to maintain sight of their goals and achieve them. But show them that they still have much to learn and by putting in the time and effort into learning new material they will become better. That it does not matter how much they know there is still more that can be achieved and that sometimes good is not enough.
