Based upon only what you learned from your textbook and the videos, describe meta-cognition and self-efficacy, and what those terms specifically mean to you? Based on what you learned in this class only, explain why the two terms are useful to you. You must make specific references to course content in your answer.   Option 2: When teachers are covering new topics, they are often faced with what are called “individual differences in learning”.  According to what you learned from the textbook, FIRST, describe the major ways individuals can differ in their ability to learn new information.
