Systematic Literature Review on Secondary School Students’ Mathematics Self-Efficacy

Open access
Mathematics self-efficacy is one of the essential behavioural factors in mathematics learning for students. The aim of this review was to determine the relationship of secondary school students’ mathematics self-efficacy and their performance in mathematics. Other than that, this review also studied the factors that can influence secondary school students’ mathematics self-efficacy. The articles were collected from January 2015 until 2019 across one of the Google Scholar databases. A total of 26 studies were selected for this review. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were performed before starting the review. The results show that there was a positive relationship between secondary school students’ mathematics self-efficacy and their performance in mathematics. The factors that influenced the secondary school students’ mathematics self-efficacy were their mathematics anxiety, teacher support, online learning, program, learning materials, instructional games and discovery learning. Overall, this review shows that mathematics self-efficacy plays an important role in improving secondary school students’ performance in mathematics.
