Answer to Question 1

Computer-based simulations facilitate cognitive development by providing explorable microworlds in which students may get a real sense of how the world works. This allows the student to correct misconceptions.

Answer to Question 2

Self-efficacy appraisals are influenced by past performance, verbal persuasion from others, the interpretation of emotional reactions (such as fear, anxiety, assurance, satisfaction), and vicarious experiences (observing the behavior of others and the consequences that follow those behaviors).
