“…They need to learn mathematics in a way that corresponds with current and future challenges and demands, helping them to become constructive, committed, and reflective citizens. One approach to making mathematics more meaningful is including a paradigm of mathematical literacy as part of mathematics education (Jablonka, 2003;Machaba, 2018;Masal & Yılmazer, 2014;Niemi et al, 2018;Uzunboylu et al, 2012;Vithal & Bishop, 2006). The PISA framework described mathematical literacy and highlighted that learners should identify and understand the role of mathematics in today's world (OECD, 2006).…”

The aim of this study was to uncover how digital storytelling advances students’ self-efficacy in mathematics learning and what kinds of learning experiences contribute to self-efficacy. Four Chinese classes with 10- to 11-year-old students ( N = 121) participated in the project. The mathematics learning theme was geometry. Quantitative data was collected with questionnaires. The qualitative data was based on teachers’ and students’ interviews and observations. Both data sets showed that the students’ self-efficacy increased significantly during the project. The most important mediator was students’ perception of the meaningfulness of mathematics learning; digital storytelling enhanced the students’ ability to see mathematics learning as useful. They became more confident that they could learn mathematics and understand what they had learned. They also felt more confident in talking with their classmates about mathematical concepts. The role of self-efficacy was twofold: it supported students’ learning during the project and it increased due to meaningful mathematics learning experiences.
