RECBER, Senol; ISIKSAL, Mine  and  KOC, Yusuf. Investigating self-efficacy, anxiety, attitudes and mathematics achievement regarding gender and school type. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.1, pp.41-51. ISSN 1695-2294.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.34.1.229571.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among seventh grade students’ mathematics self-efficacy, mathematics anxiety, attitudes towards mathematics, mathematics achievement, gender and school type. In order to examine the difference in self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude and achievement in terms of gender and school type, two-way ANOVAs were performed. In addition, multiple regression analysis was run to investigate the role of mathematics self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude, gender and school type in predicting mathematics achievement of seventh grade students. Results revealed that there was a significant main effect of gender on mean mathematics self-efficacy scores, attitude scores, anxiety scores and mathematics achievement. However, school type did not have significant main effect on mean self-efficacy scores, anxiety scores, and achievement scores but have significant effect on attitude scores. Findings also supported that self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude, gender and school type significantly predicted the achievement scores of seventh grade students.
