Junior high school student: The problem-solving ability based on self-efficacy (original) (raw)

The Role of Self-Efficacy and Mathematics ability in the Problem Solving Mathematics

Proceedings of the International Conference on Educational Sciences and Teacher Profession (ICETeP 2018), 2019

The problem solving skills are part of learning mathematics and an important component of 21st century education. But students often experience success doing it. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between mathematical abilities, self-efficacy and problem solving abilities. This is a result of low mathematical abilities and self-efficacy. The research was a survey. Samples were randomly selected as many as 135 students from whole high school students in the Kota Bengkulu. The research instruments were a self-efficacy questionnaire, a mathematical ability test and a mathematical problem solving test. Data was analyzed using structural equation modeling. We used LISREL 8.8 to test the structural model. The results, there is a positive direct effect of mathematics ability on problem solving abilities; there is a positive direct effect of self-efficacy on problem solving abilities, and there is a positive direct effect of mathematics ability on self-efficacy.

Investigating the Level of the Tenth-grade Students’ Self-Efficacy in Mathematics and its Impact on their Performance: A Study in Pemagatshel District

2021

The study aimed at finding out the level of Mathematics self-efficacy and its relationship with the Mathematics performance of tenth-grade students. The study used a quantitative method. The data was collected from one middle secondary school and three central schools under the Pemagatshel district from 3 March to 16 March 2020. A total of 300 students comprising 150 males and females each were included for the study. The data was collected using Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scales and analyzed using SPSS. The overall finding indicated that students had an average level of Mathematics self-efficacy (M=3.25; SD= 0.60). Among the four sources of self-efficacy, the study revealed that the students had high Mathematics self-efficacy in vicarious experience (M= 3.67; SD= 0.62). The Pearson correlation indicated a moderate positive correlation (r= .467, P=.05) between Mathematics self-efficacy and Mathematics performance. Higher the Mathematics self-efficacy, better the Mathematics performan...

Budapest International Research and Critics in Linguistics and Education (BirLE) Journal, 2021

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 abili...

Student's mathematical understanding ability based on self-efficacy Student's mathematical understanding ability based on self- efficacy

Materials in mathematics are provided not only as an ability to memorize, but also to train the ability of mathematical understanding. Students' mathematical understanding ability is influenced by the students' belief in solving the given problems. This research aim to determine the mathematical understanding ability of junior high school students. This research is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection was done through a test, questionnaire, and interview. The result showed that students with high self-efficacy category could master the three indicators of students' mathematical understanding ability well, namely translation, interpretation, and exploration. Students with moderate self-efficacy category can master translation indicator and able to achieve interpretation indicator but they unable to reach exploration indicator. Students with low self-efficacy category only master the translation, but they cannot achieve the interpretation and exploration indicators. So, the students who have high, moderate or low self-efficacy master the indicator of mathematical understanding based on the level of understanding capabilities on each student.

An Analysis of Mathematical Self-Efficacy of the 10th Grade MIPA Students of MAN Salatiga

Indonesian Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020

The skills required in the 21st century are highly varied. One of them is a skill in the affective aspect, such a self-efficacy which needs to be developed. Self-efficacy can affect someones future success. Someone who has a high self-efficacy will overshoot something easier than reality. But on the other hand, a person with low self-efficacy will perceive something more difficult than reality. This causes someone to get stress and depression easily. This research aims to find out and describe the mathematical self-efficacy of students. This research is qualitative descriptive research. The subjects of the research were the students of the 10th grade MIPA of MAN Salatiga for the academic year 2018/2019 which amounted to 73 students. The instrument is used as a self-efficacy questionnaire format developed from a self-efficacy of Sutanto (2018). The instrument consists of 20 statements and has been validated by expert lecturers. The results of the research showed that 2,74% of student...

Teachers' Problem-Solving Skills as Predictor of Senior Secondary Students' Self-Efficacy in Mathematics in Cross River State

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (AJSTME), 2024

This study investigated teachers' problem-solving skills as predictor of senior secondary students' self-efficacy in mathematics in Cross River State. To direct the investigation, two research questions and two null hypotheses were developed. A correlational survey design was used in carrying out this study. The population of the study consisted of all the 269 senior secondary three (SS 3) mathematics teachers and 13,653 senior secondary three (SS 3) students, making a total of 13, 922 senior secondary three mathematics teachers and students in the 269 public secondary schools in Cross River State that operate senior secondary. The sample size for the study consisted of 377 respondents (16 male mathematics teachers, 16 female mathematics teachers, and 345 students). For the purpose of data analysis, the average responses of students in each sampled school were used (32 average students' responses). The multistage sampling procedure was used to draw the sample for this study. Rating Scale for Mathematics Teachers Problem Solving Skills (RSMTPSS) and Students' Mathematics Self-Efficacy Rating Scale (SMSERS) were used for data collection. The reliability coefficients of RSMTPSS and SMSERS were 0.81 and 0.87 respectively. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to answer research questions, while all the hypotheses were tested using regression ANOVA (Fratio) at a 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated that there was a high positive predictive power between teachers' problem-solving skills in learning mathematics, and students' self-efficacy in learning mathematics. Also, mathematics teachers' problem-solving skills significantly predicted students' self-efficacy in learning some mathematics-infused topics; male mathematics teachers' problem-solving skills predicted students' self-efficacy in learning mathematics more than their female counterparts. It was recommended, among others, that more practical opportunities be facilitated for mathematics teachers at education faculties to prepare them for 21st century students and schools.
