Abstract

The mathematical connection ability of students in Indonesia is still relatively low. One of the influencing factors is students' self-efficacy. This study aims to determine students' mathematical connection abilities in terms of students' self-efficacy in number pattern material. This type of research is qualitative with a descriptive analysis method. The research subjects were selected by purposive sampling technique, namely the 3rd-grade students of some of the junior high schools in Garut. Data collection techniques used are self-efficacy questionnaires, mathematical connection ability tests, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that students with low self-efficacy had high mathematical connection abilities, students with moderate self-efficacy had very high mathematical connection abilities, and students with high self-efficacy had very high mathematical connection abilities. Thus, the mathematical connection ability is generally classified as good in terms of self-efficacy.
