The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of students' attitudes and self-efficacy based on gender, and to determine the relationship between students' attitudes and self-efficacy towards science subjects. This research uses quantitative research with survey method. The sample in this study was 74 students from SMPN 1 Muaro Jambi in Muaro Jambi district. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. There are two instruments in this study, namely attitudes towards science and self-efficacy. The results of the T-test of student attitudes towards science subjects obtained were sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, so there were differences in student attitudes towards science subjects, both female and male students in class VIII A and class VIII B. The results of the T-test of students' self-efficacy on science subjects obtained a value of sig.(2-tailed) < 0.05, so there are differences in student self-efficacy on science subjects, both female students and male students in class VIII A and class VIII B. While the results of the correlation test between attitudes and students' self-efficacy towards science subjects class VIII A and VIII B showed a value of sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, then there was a relationship between students' attitudes and self-efficacy towards subjects’ science lessons, both female students and male students in class VIII A and class VIII B.

“…2-tailed > 0.05, which is 0.876. The results of this study differ from studies which state that there are differences in students' self-efficacy in Science learning in the female and male groups (Ernawati et al, 2021a;Retni et al, 2021;Aurah, 2017). In addition, the results of research by Ernawati et al (2021b), show that the male group has higher self-efficacy in Science learning than the female group.…”

“…Several factors that affect students' self-efficacy both are external and internal factor, one of them is gender (Ernawati et al, 2021a). Gender is very familiar with one's identity, both for men and women which refer to masculinity and femininity (Ernawati et al, 2021a).…”

“…Several factors that affect students' self-efficacy both are external and internal factor, one of them is gender (Ernawati et al, 2021a). Gender is very familiar with one's identity, both for men and women which refer to masculinity and femininity (Ernawati et al, 2021a).

Character Actualization of Hard Work

“…The waiting tubang custom is a custom regarding inheritance which is prioritized to the eldest daughter (Arifin, 2020;Darmaji, Astalini, et al, 2019;Velinda et al, 2018). But on the other hand, waiting for tubang is also interpreted as someone who is in charge of waiting for a large family gathering place with the agreement that this task is given to the eldest daughter (Ernawati, Asrial, Kurniawan, Nawahdani, et al, 2021;Septiana et al, 2016;Wulandari et al, 2021). The custom of waiting for tubang causes boys to have to apply the character of hard work in themselves (Kamid, Syaiful, et al, 2021;Maison et al, 2021;Rasyidin & Fitriani, 2021).…”
