Abstract

Self-efficacy is an important ability to understand learning and achievement in education. Students learning experiences are important for the development of self-efficacy, including literacy and numeracy skills which require processing and habituation so that cannot be obtained in a short time. This research aimed to examine junior high school student self-efficacy of literacy and numeracy using descriptive quantitative method. A self-efficacy questionnaire was distributed to 149 junior high school students who had participated in a national assessment simulation that measured literacy and numeracy skills in North Aceh, Indonesia. The questionnaire was used to measure three dimensions of self-efficacy that consisted of 45 statements. The score of students was categorized into four-level and analyzed for each indicator. The result of this research showed that the average student self-efficacy for the magnitude dimension was 65.63% and 67.22% for the strength dimension, these two dimensions are in the moderate category. Meanwhile, for the general dimension, a score of 70.22% was obtained in the high category. Of the three dimensions of self-efficacy, most of the students are in the moderate category for the dimensions of magnitude and strength, this indicates that students’ self-efficacy in literacy and numeracy still needs to be improved.
