Additionally, John Hattie’s (2008) research highlights that students’ belief in themselves as learners is one of the most important factors in educational success. This self-efficacy has a significant impact on achievement (Yusuf, 2011). When students are taken out of general education classes and removed to an alternate setting, what self-talk occurs for those students? The message many students internalize is that they are not capable of learning the content or not capable of learning with peers who they may perceive as more capable.
Interesting to think about this in a Quest context, too
