A Survey Of The Status Quo Of Junior High School Students' Self-efficacy In Mathematics Learning

Study on the factors of the middle school students mathematics study achievement influence has been the focus of attention from all walks of life's problems. The concept of self-efficacy was first proposed by Bandura. Mathematics learning self-efficacy comes based on the self efficacy. Mathematics learning self-efficacy refers to the ability that students need in the process of mathematics learning of the target behavior expectations or beliefs.There are a lot of developments related to self-efficacy of middle school students in mathematics and mathematics achievement. Most of the results of the study show that learning math self-efficacy and math performance is closely related to mathematics achievement. But the research about the characteristics of the development of mathematics self-efficacy students learning results have some differences. I read and considered many related research. After that, I had investigation study in the middle school in Nanjing.I selected two classes in each grade, a key class and a regular class, and use SPSS17.0 and Excel for data processing. And here come the following conclusions:(1) Most of the junior high school students mathematics learning self-efficacy is higher than the median level;(2) Grade 1 is lower than grade 2 in maths learning self efficacy and effectiveness of individual dimensions,but in some dimensions efficiency higher than grade 2. The difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 is not remarkable; Grade 3 is the lowest;(3) Key classes are higher than the ordinary classes in learning self-efficacy and performance of each dimension;(4) Junior middle school male students are higher than female in mathematics learning self-efficacy, and the difference is significant;(5)Mathematics self-efficacy is positively correlated with math academic achievement of middle school students; The students who have hig self-efficacy do better than the low-level, her mathematical learning.
