Mathematical Representation Ability and Self -Efficacy

Abstract

In mathematics, there are several abilities should be belong to students. One of the abilities should be belong to students is the ability of the mathematical representation. Mathematical representation ability makes it easy for students to solve mathematical problems, because students are required to make their mathematical models, by making mathematical models students will be easier to solve mathematical problems. This basic mathematical ability can be mastered well by students if students have affective abilities, one of them is self-efficacy. In this study, qualitative research methods are used. Descriptive research is chosen the type of literature study. Data collection method with literature study. This article examines the ability of the representation and self-efficacy in mathematics learning, which includes indicators of what needs to be developed in the ability of the mathematical representation, and indicators contained self-efficacy in mathematics learning. The brief description is based on an analysis of the representation abilities and self-efficacy in mathematics learning.
