Suggestion to look into flow theory
Hi!

I just read through your chapter because it is closely linked to my chapter. My chapter involves exploring the role of fostering a state of flow during academic-based 'work'.

I can see you have a heading called "how can academic self-efficacy be fostered?" but haven't written anything for it yet. I thought some of my research on flow might help you to begin with this section! Please feel free to check out my chapter work and flow for more information (although it's still a work in progress)!

Specifically, my research on flow in academic settings has strong links to your chapter's themes of strengthening academic performance and cultivating a sense of self-efficacy when completing academic-based tasks.

I thought the meaning behind this research might be useful for you as you keep fleshing out your chapter: a meta-analysis by Fong et al. (2014) found that a challenge-skill balance is the central component for inducing a state of flow. Here is the link here for any more information on their findings https://doi-org.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/10.1080/17439760.2014.967799

I just thought there was a strong overlap here as you mention that self-efficacy comes from feeling like you can accomplish the task at hand. If flow research specifically isn't the most relevant to put into your section, then I thought it might be helpful to add into your table 'other constructs/meaning systems similar to self-efficacy' - which looks great by the way!

Just some suggestions, best of luck with finishing off your chapter :) U3213441 (discuss • contribs) 05:57, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
