Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical representation ability in terms of self-efficacy and non-cognitive variables of student grade 10th of Senior High School 14 Makassar. The study is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. This study is intended to determine the mathematical representation ability in terms of self-efficacy dimensions, namely magnitude, generality, and strength-based on students’ non-cognitive variables, gender (male and female), and parents’ socioeconomic status (high social status and low social status) by describing it in words. The instrument in this study was the self-efficacy questionnaire, parents’ socioeconomic status questionnaire, mathematical representation ability test, and interview guidelines. The results show: (1) The subjects of the self-efficacy dimension based on non-cognitive variables (gender) can make linear equations of three variables, use mathematical expressions, and present tables and graphs correctly even though one subject could not use visual representations in solving problems. (2) Subjects of self-efficacy dimensions based on non-cognitive variables (social status) can make linear equations of three variables, involve mathematical expressions, and provide tables and graphs correctly even though one of them cannot use visual representations in solving problems. (3) Subjects of non-cognitive variables (gender) based on self-efficacy dimensions can make mathematical models, involve mathematical expressions, and provide tables and graphs correctly even though female subjects cannot use visual representations to solve problems. (4) Subjects of non-cognitive variables (social status) based on self-efficacy dimensions can make linear equations of three variables, involve mathematical expressions, and make tables and graphs even though one of them with high social status cannot use visual representations to solve problems.
