This paper presents a pedagogical strategy that intends to help students maximize learning and minimize drop-out rates in programming courses. The goal is to motivate students to develop a better programming study behaviour through the utilization of appropriate learning activities and the conscious assessment of their self-efficacy level. The paper also includes some preliminary results of the strategy application with students of Design and Multimedia.
