Answer to Question 1

Good quality instruction is like a magnet. If aimed slightly ahead of children's current level of cognitive development, it will pull them along, helping them master things they cannot learn independently.

Answer to Question 2

Self-efficacy refers to how prepared or capable one feels one is to handle a certain kind of task, such as learning a certain procedure, understanding a body of knowledge, or solving a problem.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
