Max is working with one of his students, Josie, who is frustrated by her own lack of progress. She says, "I'm never going to get this! I just can't do it." Max says, "Yes you will! You're really good at math." According to our text, the feedback Max has given Josie is
a. unlikely to be of much use, since Josie doesn't perceive herself as making progress in her learning.
b. unlikely to be of much use because it is specific to a curricular area instead of encouraging her about her general learning capability.
c. likely to motivate Josie to continue to try, because when teachers communicate their belief that students can learn, students easily overcome their feelings of low self-efficacy.
d. likely to motivate Josie to keep working, because it is positive and genuine.
