The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of students' attitudes and self-efficacy based on gender, and to determine the relationship between students' attitudes and self-efficacy towards science subjects. This research uses quantitative research with survey method. The sample in this study was 74 students from SMPN 1 Muaro Jambi in Muaro Jambi district. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. There are two instruments in this study, namely attitudes towards science and self-efficacy. The results of the T-test of student attitudes towards science subjects obtained were sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, so there were differences in student attitudes towards science subjects, both female and male students in class VIII A and class VIII B. The results of the T-test of students' self-efficacy on science subjects obtained a value of sig.(2-tailed) < 0.05, so there are differences in student self-efficacy on science subjects, both female students and male students in class VIII A and class VIII B. While the results of the correlation test between attitudes and students' self-efficacy towards science subjects class VIII A and VIII B showed a value of sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, then there was a relationship between students' attitudes and self-efficacy towards subjects’ science lessons, both female students and male students in class VIII A and class VIII B.

This study aims to analyze the differences and also the relationship between attitudes and self-efficacy of students in science lessons. This research is important because in science lessons the teacher must know the attitudes and self-efficacy of students because they affect the learning process. This type of research is quantitative with comparative type. The number of respondents used as a sample is 74 students. The data collection technique used simple random sampling. The results of the study using the T test were that there were significant differences in the attitudes and self-efficacy of students in science lessons, both female students and male students. The results of the correlation test between students' attitudes and self-efficacy towards science subjects in grade 8A showed that the two variables (attitude and self-efficacy) were related. And the results of the correlation test in class 8B showed that the two variables (attitude and self-efficacy) were related. The urgency of this research is that teachers can find out the differences in attitudes and self-efficacy between male and female students. The novelty of this research compared to previous research is that it uses Attitude and self-efficacy variables, with different indicators from previous research.

This research is conducted to study the attitude of A-level Medicine (ALM) students towards learning the Mathematical subjects and there are two research questions in the study. Firstly, what is the attitude of ALM students towards learning the Mathematical subjects? Secondly, is there any difference between male students’ attitude and female students’ attitude towards learning the Mathematical subjects? The sampling method used in this research is random sampling. The researchers selected the survey method as the research design and one set of questionnaires consisted of 30 items as the instruments. Some 95 respondents consist of 37 male students and 58 female students of ALM programmed of International Education College (INTEC) were chosen randomly. The researchers used the 5 point Liker Scale in order to determine the attitude of the ALM students towards learning the Mathematical subjects. The data were analyzed by using mean test, one sample t-test and independent t-test by using SPSS version 20 software. The finding showed that the students have positive attitude towards learning the Mathematical subjects and there is difference between male students’ attitude and female students’ attitude towards learning the Mathematical subjects. The finding showed that female students have more positive attitude than the male students. Keyword - Attitude, Mathematics, A-level, Education, International Education College.

Existing research has identified gender as a driving variable of student success in higher education: women attend college at a higher rate and are also more successful than their male peers. We build on the extant literature by asking whether specific cognitive variables (i.e., self-efficacy and causal attribution habits) distinguish male and female students with differing academic performance levels. Using a case study, we collected data from students enrolled in a general education course (sample size N = 400) at a large public university in the United States. Our findings indicate that while students’ course grades and cumulative college grades did not vary by gender, female and male students reported different self-efficacy and causal attribution habits for good grades and poor grades. To illustrate, self-efficacy for female students is broad and stretches across all their courses; in contrast, for male students, it is more limited to specific courses. These gender differences in cognition, particularly in accounting for undesirable events, may assist faculty members and advisors in understanding how students respond to difficulties and challenges.

The aim of this study is to investigate students in classes 1-2-3-4, studying Pyschological Guidance and Counselling (PGC) at a university in T.R.N.C. (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) in their relationships with their parents and their attitudes towards marriage. The study includes 325 students and was conducted during the spring of 2015-2016. ‘Personal information forms’, ‘İnönü Marriage Attitudes Scale, ‘Attitudes towards Parents Scale I and II’ have been used in order to collect research data. The viewpoints of the student PCG group, who work with child and family, have been particularly focused in connection to all of these. The findings revealed that female students’ attitudes towards their mothers are better compared to that of male students. However, in terms of gender, no connection was found between attitude towards their father and their attitude towards marriage. As female PCG students’ attitude towards their mother increases, so too has their attitude towards their father and their attitudes towards marriage. For the men whose parents are still together (not separated), there is no link between their strong attiudes towards their parents and their attitude towards marriage. It has come to light that female students, whose parents are separated, have a stronger attitude towards their mother and father. No connection was found between the students’ parents being married or having separate living arrangements and the students’ gender. Male students with parents who live separately have a stronger approach towards their their mother and father.

Changes in the sexist attitudes of college students participating in psychology of women courses were examined. Male students maintained mildly antiliberationist attitudes toward women and traditional, masculine-typed self-descriptions over the course semester. Female students expressed significantly more liberal attitudes toward women and shifted from feminine-typed to androgynous self-descriptions over the course semester. In a developmental psychology class with the same feminist, female professor, male students' attitudes toward women remained mildly antiliberationist whereas female students' attitudes toward women became significantly more liberal over the course semester.

The present study tries to find out the effect of speaking self-efficacy and gender in speaking activities particularly in English as second/foreign language situation, using questionnaire from Bandura’s Guide for constructing self-efficacy scales. The Samples of this study were 23 male and 27 female college-students from speaking classes.  ANOVA and T-test helped by SPSS 15.0 for windows were employed to investigate speaking self-efficacy, gender and speaking activities. The result showed that the level of speaking self-efficacy both male and female students is moderate. They can moderately perform speaking activities but they think them quite though and difficult. Besides, Sig. for gender scores lower than .05 (.013 < .05), gender gave significant effect towards speaking activities. Yet, not only speaking self-efficacy partially (Sig .162 > .05) but also its simultaneous interaction with gender (Sig .0677 > .05) did not affect significantly towards speaking activities.
