“…For example, in a study in the Philippines among secondary school students, the mean mathematics self-efficacy of the students was reported to be moderately high with a mean score of 3.25 (Laranang and Bondoc, 2020). Similarly, in a study of 10th graders in Bhutan, the students' MSE score is reported to be average with a score of 3.25 (Norbu and Dukpa, 2021). Likewise, Perez (2013), who conducted a study in Bangkok, Thailand revealed that more than half of the students showed a self-efficacy score higher than the mean score.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

Predictors of high school students’ mathematics self-efficacy in Addis Ababa: The importance of educational expectations

et al. 2023

In Ethiopia studies on high school students’ mathematics self-efficacy and associated factors are scarce. The present study examined students’ mathematics self-efficacy and associated predictors among high school students in Addis Ababa. Data were collected using adapted questionnaire from 120 students (9th and 10th graders) recruited via multi-stage sampling. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, ANOVA, Chi-square and logistic regressions were utilized to analyze the collected data. In the study it was found that students have more than average mathematics self-efficacy even though significant numbers of students (44.2%) have low mathematics self-efficacy. It was also revealed that differences in grade level [t(118) = 2.545, p < 0.05] and students’ expected grade in the upcoming national exam [F(3,116) = 5.553, p < 0.05] were statistically significant. Living arrangements (AOR = 6.704, 95% CI = 1.598–28.118), expected grade in the upcoming national exam (AOR = 5.808, 95% CI = 1.804–18.696) and expected marks in the semester (AOR = 1.126, 95% CI = 1.055–1.202) are significant predictors of students’ mathematics self-efficacy. Generally educational expectations are important predictors of students’ mathematics self-efficacy. Therefore, researchers and organizations need to gear their attention towards improving students’ mathematics self-efficacy.

Smartphones have become handy tools in the hands of 21st-century teenagers owing to their necessity for communication and socialization. These devices could therefore possess underlying benefits for mathematics education. This quasi-experimental study probed the consequence of smartphone-assisted Jigsaw cooperative learning on senior secondary school students’ mathematics self-efficacy with recourse to how gender and smartphone efficacy could moderate this effect. The study involved five research questions and hypotheses. Two schools from the Educational District IV, Lagos State were selected by purposive sampling technique from which five hundred and thirty four (534) students drawn from intact classes were assigned into experimental and control groups. Smartphone Assisted Learning Package (SALP) served as the intervention while a valid and reliable Mathematics Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (r=0.90) was employed for data collection. Statistical tools deployed for descriptive and inferential analysis include mean, standard deviation and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Outcome of data analysis portrayed a momentous effect of treatment on students’ mathematics self-efficacy. Smartphone efficacy and gender were found to possess substantial influence on participants’ mathematics self-efficacy. These findings led to the recommendation that teachers should expose mathematics students to smartphone-assisted Jigsaw cooperative learning strategy to promote active learning and improve students’ mathematics self-efficacy.
