Mathematics Self Efficacy

In school settings, sources of self-efficacy have the potential to directly and indirectly influence performance. The problem of this study is the direct relationship between sources of self-efficacy and achievement. In connection with this problem, the impact of sources of mathematics self-efficacy on high school senior students’ mathematics test and course achievement was investigated. The study consisted of 257 12th-grade high school students. The findings of the study showed that mathematics course and test performance increased, whereas the scores for mastery experience, social persuasions, vicarious experience, and physiological state increased, too. According to the results of the regression analysis on mathematics course achievement, the mastery experience significantly predicted mathematics course performance. It also explained 56% of the total variance in mathematics achievement. On the contrary, mastery experience, social persuasions, and physiological state significantly predicted mathematics test achievement, as well as explained 27% of the total variance in mathematics test achievement. In conclusion, sources of mathematics self-efficacy have effects on both mathematics test and course achievement.

<p>The purpose of this study was to adapt the Sources of Middle School Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale developed by Usher and Pajares to Turkish culture. This scale assesses Bandura’s theorized sources of self-efficacy among mathematics students in middle school. After the Turkish version of the scale was formed, it was applied 6th, 7th and 8th grades 282 middle school students (157 girls and 125 boys). Results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed good fit indeces; χ2/sd= 2.25, RMSEA= .06, CFI= .98, NNFI= .97 and SRMR= .05. These values indicated that the proposed four factor model was acceptable for this Turkish sampling. The reliability coefficient estimated by Cronbach alpha was found; mastery experience α= .86, vicarious experience α= .75, social persuasions α= .94, physiological state α= .91. Also the reliability coefficient estimated by split-half was found; mastery experience α= .81, vicarious experience α= .73, social persuasions α= .92, physiological state α= .89. Deciding on stability of the scale test-retest applied to 36 studens for 16 days interval. Results showed that mastery experience r= .67, vicarious experience r= .48, social persuasions r= .63, physiological state r= .41. These values indicated that this scale is a reliable instrument for Turkish sampling. In conlusion, Sources of Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale is a valid and reliable instrument to meeasure sources of mathematics self-efficacy for middle school students in Turkish culture.</p>

This study determined the relationship of self-efficacy, attitude, and performance in mathematics of senior high school students. Specifically, the study (a) described the level of mathematics self-efficacy of studentrespondents in terms of mastery experience, vicarious experience-peers, vicarious experience-adults, social persuasions, and physiological state, (b) characterized the attitude of the student-respondents towards mathematics in terms of anxiety, confidence, enjoyment, and benefits/value, (c) described the mathematics performance of the respondents, (d) determined the significant relationship between self-efficacy, attitude, and mathematics performance of the respondents, and (e) determined the predictors of students mathematics performance. Simple random sampling was used in identifying the 229 samples from three (3) public secondary schools offering senior high school in the Tablas Island. The researchers used the validated Self-Efficacy and Attitude towards Mathematics questionnaire. It was found out that the student-respondents have moderate mathematics self-efficacy in mastery experience, vicarious experience-peers, vicarious experience-adults, social persuasions, and physiological state. It was also found out that there was a high level of attitude towards mathematics in terms of benefits/value and moderate level of attitude towards mathematics in terms of anxiety, confidence, and enjoyment. Majority of the student-respondents did not meet the expectations in terms of mathematics performance, but a significant percentage of the group was average in the acceptable range of rating as significant relationship exists between self-efficacy, attitude and mathematics performance. The study revealed that the mathematics performance was predicted by variables such as vicarious experience-adults, benefits/value, anxiety, and vicarious experience-peers.

Mathematics Self Efficacy

Abstract: Self Efficacy in Mathematics and in Mathematics Teaching among Junior High-school Teachers. This study investigates teachers’ self efficacy in mathematics and in mathematics teaching, involving 38 junior high school mathematics teachers in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research instrument to measure self efficacy in mathematics consists of 18 questions with a reliability coefficient of .86, whereas the one to measure mathematics-teaching self efficacy consists of 18 statements with a reliability coefficient of .826. Both instruments were adapted from the Mathematics Teaching and Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale (MTMSE) developed by Kahle (2008). The results show that mathe­matics self efficacy and teaching mathematics self efficacy of the junior high school mathematics teach­ers in the city of Yogyakarta are high, with a correlation coefficient of .477. The mathematics self-efficacy instrument consists of three parts, namely arithmetics, algebra, and geometrics, and arithmetic self-efficacy is found to be positively correlated with teaching mathematics self-efficacy with a multiple correlation coefficient of 0,605.Abstrak: Self-Efficacy Matematika dan Self-Efficacy Mengajar Matematika Guru Matematika SMP Kota Yogyakarta.

This case study aimed at investigating the role of self-efficacy in students’ recount text especially in the area of writing as one of the most difficult skills in learning English. Writing difficulties faced by the students are not only based on their cognitive skill but also their own efficacy beliefs. Three problems can be found related to self-efficacy beliefs in English writing. They are related with confidence to write anxiety, and the third problem is about the students’ interest. The participants of this study are three students from a Senior High School in Indramayu. The data were obtained from three data collection: questionnaire, writing test, and also the interview. The result of this study shows that the participants of this study perceived mastery experience accounted for the greatest proportion in their writing ability. It can be seen from how students rate their confidence and given overall feelings about the way to write successfully. Social persuasions and physiological states also were influential while working on writing. Meanwhile, the common experience did not predict too much in students' writing ability. Ultimately, the results of this research concluded that self-efficacy has an important role in students’ ability in writing.

Mathematics Self Efficacy

This study identifies the success indicators of mathematical problem-solving performances among Malaysian matriculation students divided into four indicators: mathematical beliefs, mathematics attitudes, mathematics self-efficacy and metacognitive skills. For this purpose, 368 matriculation students from three matriculation colleges were selected as respondents using proportioned stratified sampling. This study utilized a descriptive correlational design approach. A set of questionnaires and a mathematics test were used as the instruments. Independent variables were measured using a questionnaire, while mathematical problem-solving performance was measured using a mathematics test. The findings show students had a high level in mathematics beliefs, attitude towards mathematics, mathematics self-efficacy and metacognitive skills. Statistical tests to determine success indicators predicting mathematical problem-solving performance revealed that mathematics self-efficacy does not contribute significantly to these variables and that metacognitive skills make the most decisive contribution, followed by mathematics attitude and mathematics beliefs. Hence, this study suggests that problem-solving should be included as an essential part of the mathematics matriculation syllabus to enable students to improve their problem-solving abilities.
