- Abstract
Self-efficacy is people’s beliefs about their capabilities to produce designated levels of performance that exercise influence over events that affect their lives (Bandura 1994). This study aimed to determine the grade 7 self- efficacy and its relation to their problem solving performances in math. Qualitative and quantitative approach was used in this survey descriptive survey analysis research. Quantitative data were obtained from students grades in math and scores in the Mathematics Achievement Test of the students. Qualitative data were obtained from students interview and responses in the Self- Efficacy Questionnaire. Findings revealed that student’s self-efficacy was rated Very Well. This means that they have the capability to do homework, schoolwork, as well as to study their algebra and pass the test. However, achievement test showed that students ‘problem solving performances were minimally low in mental math, addition, and subtraction operations and there was significant relationship between the students ‘self-efficacy and their problem solving performances in math. With these findings, school should regularly hold activities that could enhance and challenge students ‘mathematical ability and proficiency, and award the winners to boost their ego to keep and do well in their studies.
