reader mood wherein students just try to memorize what their teacher taught them not knowing if they understand the knowledge they try to memorize. Greenwood (1984) exclaimed that the “explain-practice-memorize” kind of strategy is the source of the mathematics anxiety of the students, since it has more emphasis on memorization, while they don’t give enough emphasis on the understanding and reasoning part. The problem in this kind of strategy is that teachers are influencing students’ perception in math
Sources of Self-Efficacy How does an individual acquire his/her self efficacy? What are the sources of Self-efficacy information? According to Bandura (1997) there are four sources of information that causes perception of self efficacy to develop in an individual. 1.

Teachers are the creators of individuals who someday
Self-efficacy, or also known as perceived ability, also known as the confidence people have in their abilities to succeed in a given task. If they possess the ability to successfully perform, then that task will be attempted (Tenaw, 2013). For inefficacious individuals the task are being avoided and there is a tendency that when they do attempt they will just give up easily unlike with the high sense of efficacy individuals. When an inefficacious person failed they tend to lack faith in their capabilities
I-Taukei Students Fail Mathematics In Suva Methodist Primary?" Introduction - clearly stated highlighting what is to be covered in the chapter "Failure in Mathematics means failure in life."(Wilson 2014) Life is full of complications and thus needs skills and knowledge for instant resolutions. In order to engage successfully in life one has to be able to make wise decisions to solve problems. One of the ways to be able to solve problems is by using mathematics. Mathematics begins as soon as
was to analyze to self –regulated learning skill in mathematics at secondary level. The self-regulated learning skills were metaconition, motivation, self-efficacy, interest and test anxiety. The objective of this study were to investigate the level of the self- regulated learning skills in public and private school students towards mathematics and analyze to gender differences of self-regulated learning skills among private and government school students. For analyzing the self-regulation learning
average of our scores at school. Mathematics is the best achievement of human beings. When students seek an education that will prepare them for a bright future, mathematics is an obligatory subject. This discipline is broad, it is considered as the foundation of most of the work domains in engineering, medicine, accounting, teaching, art, etc… The main aim of education is to help children have a career in order to earn their living and be self-independent.

These authors used four theories of achievement motivation: attribution, expectancy-value, self-efficacy, and achievement goal perspectives. Their findings revealed that the beliefs and behaviors of girls’ and boys’ related to motivation continue to follow gender role stereotypes. Furthermore, the results suggested that boys were more interested in mathematics and science, whereas girls were more stronger in language arts and writing. The other factors such as ability, ethnicity
made. In light of the fact that you should not judge a book by its cover, I looked into the achievement data for communication arts and math. Communication arts shows that approximately 60% of the students are proficient or advanced, however in Mathematics only showed approximately 25% of the population proficient or advanced. Recruitment and Retention Recruitment and retention of teachers for a school like this can be difficult. From the outside things can look bleak,
Chapter 3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The Least Mastered Fundamental Operations in Mathematics Using Mathematics as a subject for intervention, the following operations were pretested. Afterwards, these were checked and tallied for analysis. The results of the pretest is displayed in Table 2 shown below. Table 2. Results of the Pretest of Grade II pupils in Mathematics Fundamental Operations in Mathematics No. of Items Mean Score No. of Pupils who got 60% up No. of Pupils who got 60% below
