Attitudes and Self- Efficacy of Students toward Mathematics

Abstract

The study aimed to assess the attitudes and self-efficacy of junior high school students towards mathematics performance for the school year 2019-2020 using a descriptive-correlational survey research design. An adapted questionnaire was answered by 267 junior high school students. The data was statistically analyzed using mean, Pearson product-moment correlation, and Spearman Rho for the significance of p-value as statistical tools. The respondents' first-quarter grade was described as approaching proficiency, which means students performed not very well in their mathematics performance.
