Should students ever be allowed to fail at classroom tasks? If we take into account the concept of resilient self-efficacy, the answer is:

Yes. Occasional failures interspersed among frequent successes teach students that perseverance pays off.
No. Failure gives students the message that school is not an enjoyable place to be.
No. Even a single failure can seriously deflate students' sense of self-efficacy.

Eleven-year-old Polly has never done very well in school, in large part because of a previously undiagnosed hearing impairment that often made it difficult to understand what her teacher and classmates were saying in class. She now wears a hearing aid that enables her to hear human voices normally. Yet even when her sixth-grade teachers are certain she has the ability to complete an assigned classroom task, Polly is reluctant to do it, saying "I can't!" or simply procrastinating so much that it's impossible to complete the task in the allotted time. Simple efforts to motivate Polly, such as promising her free time to play her favorite video game on the class computer, rarely entice her into trying very hard. Which one of the following is the most likely explanation for Polly's apparent lack of motivation?

Polly has missed the sensitive period for development of motivation-that is, she has passed the three-year "window" in early childhood when intrinsic motivation emerges.
Polly is the victim of situated motivation.
