I do not believe that IST students have a stronger measure of S-E than other college 
students.  I do not believe that most students have any measure of S-E above 
completing the assignments, passing the course, getting a degree, improving a resume, 
getting a promotion, or making more money.  Can we call this "self-efficacy?"  I believe 
that the mentality of most college/university students is the same as with high school, 
middle school, and elementary school students.  Many of these students just want 
to "pass the course" and move on to the next.  I cannot imagine that this is what 
Bandura had in mind when he talked about Self-Efficacy.  I think that he was talking 
about something a bit more self-fulfilling.

Remember "Kermit and the Keyboard?"  Throughout the text, in his description of Kermit, 
Driscoll uses words like "intrinsic motivation, self-regulation, contemplation, 
consideration, enactive mastery experiences, self-reflection, etc."  I know (hope) that 
most college/university students complete their assignments, attend class regularly, and 
have a strong desire to graduate (whatever their motivation).  In that way, they are self-
regulating their learning.  However, compare that kind of mentality to Bandura's 
definition (Kermit).  Are there many students today who really demonstrate Bendura's 
definition of Self-Efficacy?
