Mechanisms underlying math self-efficacy learning of college students

Identifying events that impact self-efficacy in physics learning

“…Britner found mastery experiences were the only significant predictor of self-efficacy across all the fields of science for boys. Similarly, Matsui, Matsui, and Ohnishi [32] found past grades in mathematics course (which they described as a mastery experience) account for the largest variance in predicting the mathematics selfefficacy of Japanese students in high school math classes.…”

“…Within this smaller body of literature, much of the research focuses on confirming the relationship between the four experiential sources and self-efficacy itself [24,[28][29][30][31][32]. The goal of this research is often to confirm or deny Bandura's hypothesis that personal accomplishments in the form of mastery experiences play the primary role in an individual evaluating their capability.…”

“…Researchers have also tried to determine if factors such as gender or particular tasks change the types of experiences drawn upon in judging self-efficacy [24,31,32]. Regardless of the focus, the majority of the research takes place by developing quantitative surveys that use researcher-derived experiences as stand-ins for the theoretically posited sources of self-efficacy [28,[31][32][33][34][35]. The limitation with these methods is that they do not leave room for researchers to uncover additional factors that people may draw on when judging capability.…”

“…Most other studies investigating the influence of vicarious learning experiences on self-efficacy have not distinguished between peer models and adult models. It is possible that the low to modest reliability coefficients for the vicarious learning factor on several quantitative self-efficacy surveys are a result of not distinguishing between the types of model [31][32][33][34][35].…”

Effects of reflective journal writing to mathematics self-efficacy in reciprocal peer tutoring

“…2) 수학자기효능감(mathematics self-efficacy) 학업에 대한 자기효능감 중 수학자기효능감은 수학과 목의 중요성과 더불어 학생들이 수학과목을 성공적으로 수행하는데 필요한 필수요소로서 많은 관심을 받아왔다 (Matsui, Matsui & Ohnishi, 1990). 또한 수학학습에 있 어서 수학과 관련된 성취를 예측하기 위한 많은 연구들 이 수행되었고 (정경아, 2002;Bandura, 1986;Fennema & Sherman, 1977;Hackett & Betz, 1989;Pajares;Stevens, Olivarez & Hamman, 2006), 수학학습이 나 교과에 대한 포괄적인 자기효능감은 수학성취를 설명 하는데 있어서 인지적 변수 못지않게 중요한 역할을 하 는 것으로 나타났다 (Fennema & Sherman, 1977).…”
