The Impact

by Laura Ritchie, Palgrave Teaching and Learning series (2016) What is self-efficacy, why is it worthy of attention in higher education, how are selfefficacy beliefs linked to teaching and learning excellence and what is “excellence” anyway? These are some points of discussion found in the first few pages of Laura Ritchie’s book, directing the reader towards strategies in later chapters that are drawn from real-life situations aimed at helping the practitioner recognise and apply principles for building strong self-efficacy beliefs in their students. The author argues that the impact of self-efficacy on learning is “fundamental to everything” (p. vii); she writes from her years of teaching and research in higher education, and as a recipient of a UK National Teaching Fellow award.

Major Consideration

Professors Jim Willis (Azusa Pacific University) and Anthony R. Fellow (California State University at Fullerton) edited the affordable and relevant single-volume Tweeting to Freedom: An Encyclopedia of Citizen Protests and Uprisings Around the World. The extensive teaching and research experience of Willis and Fellow is evident in the instructive and informative writing throughout. A major consideration with a reference work on a topic as quickly evolving as social media is how quickly the text will become outdated. The focus on providing context for social media movements will serve to keep the content in Tweeting to Freedom relevant, especially as the memory of the reasons for protests gets shorter and shorter. The analysis will be useful even when the examples are inevitably no longer current; however, there are many timely examples, such as references to the 2016 US presidential election.
