If Luke felt he had high self efficacy in his subjects then he would be less likely to act out, and more motivated to pay attention. I would plan to use interventions with the goal of raising his self efficacy. As his self efficacy rises Luke would also be more likely to self regulate. Self-regulation would be extremely important for Luke to learn. It is hard to learn when you don't set goals for yourself or if you are not intrinsically motivated.
The ability to self-regulate is not only important for learning, but is also important in life. The marshmallow test is just one example of how setting goals and learning to work towards those goals can be important. It also shows how some children posses this ability and others do not.
