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.

Mathematics Self Efficacy

Many noncognitive constructs affect mathematical problem-solving performance. The aim of the present study is to investigate the direct and indirect effects of a number noncognitive constructs such as mathematics self-efficacy, mathematics anxiety, and metacognitive experience on the mathematical problem solving of middle-school students. The sample consisted of 517 seventh-grade Turkish students of whom 252 were male (49%) and 265 were females (51%). The instruments used in this study were a mathematical problem-solving performance test, a mathematics self-efficacy scale, a mathematics anxiety scale, a metacognitive experience scale, and a mathematics motivation scale. Two-stage structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationships between the noncognitive contructs and problem solving. Metacognitive experience was the only noncognitive construct, which had a direct effect on mathematical problem-solving performance; it also mediated the effects of self-efficacy, motivation, and mathematics anxiety on performance. Motivation and mathematics anxiety had an indirect effect on mathematical problem-solving performance through self-efficacy.

Mathematics Self Efficacy

This study aims to describe whether the increase in mathematical problem solving abilities and Self Efficacy of students who are taught using problem-based learning models is higher than students who are taught with ordinary learning, to describe whether there is an interaction between students' initial mathematical abilities and learning towards increased mathematical problem solving abilities. students, as well as to describe whether there is an interaction between students' initial mathematical abilities and learning towards increasing student Self-Efficacy. Based on the ANOVA 2 x 2 calculation, it is obtained Fcount = 88.82 while the Ftable value = 2.36 for dk (1.62) and a significant level of 5%. It turns out that the value of Fcount> Ftable, so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Then from table 4. The probability value (sig) is smaller than 0.05 so that H0 is rejected. Thus it can be concluded that the results of students' mathematical problem-solving abilities taught by problem-based learning models are better than those taught with ordinary learning models. The results of students' Self Efficacy in the problem-based learning model class were higher than in the ordinary learning model class. This can also be seen from the average results of the mathematics Self Efficacy questionnaire of students with the experimental class (99.7) which are higher than the average results of the mathematics Self Efficacy questionnaire of students with the control class (96.8). The results of students' Self Efficacy in the problem-based learning model class were higher than in the ordinary learning model class. This can also be seen from the average results of the mathematics Self Efficacy questionnaire of students with the experimental class (99.7) which are higher than the average results of the mathematics Self Efficacy questionnaire of students with the control class (96.8).X ̅=X ̅=

The Relationship

This research aims to analyze the relationship between student self-efficacy and mathematical problem solving ability. The research was conducted in class XI at one of the Vocational High Schools in Ciamis. The instrument used in this research was a test of mathematical problem solving ability and self-efficacy scale questionnaire. Data analysis using correlation analysis with Spearman Rank correlation. The results showed that there was a relationship between students' self-efficacy with students' mathematical solving ability

This study aims to 1) Produce the valid, practical, and effective of Realistic Mathematics Education based learning tools; 2) Analyzing the improvement of students' mathematical problem solving ability that are learned using Realistic Mathematics Education-based learning tools; and 3) Analyzing the achievement of students' self-efficacy who are taught using Realistic Mathematics Education-based learning tools. The subjects in this study were seventh grade students of Junior High School 1 Lubuk Pakam. Data collection instruments in this development are assessment instruments to assess the products that have been developed. In addition, students were given questionnaires to get data about students' Self-Efficacy. This research is Research and Development with the design of learning development models by Dick and Carey. The steps include: 1) Conducting preliminary research; 2) Making software design; 3) Collecting the materials; 4) Developing the contextual based interactive multimedia; 5) Product reviews and trials; and 6) the effectiveness of product test. The results showed Realistic Mathematics Education-based learning tools on students' mathematical problem solving ability increased from trial I to trial II with an average increase per indicator of 0.35%; 3.99%; 16.22% and 8.32%. The developed learning tool has fulfilled the effective criteria, namely the mastery learning of students classically in the first trial has reached a good category and in the second trial has reached a very good category; the achievement of student learning goals during learning activities meet the ideal criteria specified; student responses is positive to the components of learning tools and learning activities developed; and the allocation of ideal time usage.
