The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between academic self-efficacy perception of prospective teachers and their academic motivation levels. The study was conducted on 322 prospective teachers (226 female and 96 male) who were in 3rd and 4th grades at Faculty of Education in Sakarya University during Spring term of 2017-2018 academic year. Data was collected through “Academic Motivation Scale” developed by Vallerand et al. (1992) and adapted into Turkish by Karagüven (2012) and “Self-perception of Candidate Teachers on Teaching Proficiency Scale” developed by Çakır, Erkuş, and Kılıç (2004). SPSS 23 package program was used to analyze the data; percentage, frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey HSD and Pearson Correlation test were used in the data analysis. The results of analyses indicated that academic self-efficacy perception levels of the prospective teachers were at desired level. However, their academic motivation levels were at middle level. The result of the analysis revealed that the prospective teachers who were female and taught at 4th grade had higher academic self-efficacy score whereas significant difference was not found in academic motivation levels in terms of gender and grade. On the other hand, there was a significant difference in both academic self-efficacy perception of the prospective teacher and their academic motivation levels in terms of department variables. Prospective teachers enrolled at the department of Preschool and Science Education had higher academic self-efficacy perception than those enrolled at the department of Computer Education and Instructional Technologies, English, Special Education, Social Science and Mathematics. Prospective teachers enrolled at the department of Psychological Counseling and Guidance and Science Education had higher academic motivation levels than English prospective teachers. Further, significant positive correlations were observed between academic motivation and academic self-efficacy of prospective teachers.

The purpose of this article is to specify whether there is any influence of school practices towards mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics outcomes. The studies about the effect of school practice on student achievement have a long history both domestically and abroad. However, the investigation of how the social context of school and practices affect student performance is not clear, especially in mathematics. To investigate this, I will chose al-touri secondary school where I teach as a case-study for my research. The instrument use for the article will be based on a questionnaire, which contains 2 sections. Section 1 will contain “School Level Environment Questionnaire” (SLEQ). Section 2 will contain “Mathematic Self-efficacy Questionnaire” (MSEQ). The mathematic scores of students will be taken for the first and second semester to compare between them and to see if there is a significant relationship between school practices and mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics outcomes. The findings indicate that there is a significant difference in students’ perception about their school practice and mathematic self-efficacy based on their achievement and according to ANOVA test, there is a relationship between school practices and mathematic self-efficacy. The result from this study can be generalized to the population of all schools in the Arab Sectors in Israel. Moreover, we can use the questionnaires obtained in the study to identify the strengths and weaknesses of schools in their teaching and learning process and to focus on improving their latter, at the same time maintaining the strength of their teaching strategies.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between academic boredom with academic self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety of 280 middle school students. Both the descriptive and correlational survey models were used in line with the sub-problems of the study. In this study, Level of Boredom Scale, Sources of Middle School Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale, and Revised Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Anxiety Scale-Elementary were used as data collection tools. It was found that 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students had middle level academic boredom in mathematics classes regardless of their grade levels. It was concluded that the self-efficacy perceptions related to performance accomplishments, vicarious experience and verbal persuasion were high in each class level, whereas the self-efficacy perceptions of emotional arousal were low. In general, it was relevealed that the anxiety of students in mathematics lessons was low while 8th grade students' mathematics anxiety was higher than the 5th, 6th and 7th grade students. Moreover, findings also revealed that there was a low positive relationship between students' boredom in mathematics lessons and vicarious experience which is used in lessons. No relation was found between the boredom and mathematics anxiety of students.
