Abstract

In this study we examined relationships between math self-efficacy, perceived math self-competence, perceived perseverance, math anxiety and mathematics grades in grades 7 and 8. Data analysis was conducted for 224 students. We used Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Children (Chiu and Henry, 1990) and Scale of perceived math self-competence (Bezinović, 1988). The results show that 7th grade students have significantly higher results on subscales of general self-efficacy and perceived perseverance than 8th grade students. For both grades we found that math anxiety is negatively related to general self-efficacy and perceived perseverance, and positively related with perceived low math self-competence. The results also show that for each grade general self-efficacy and perceived perseverance are significantly positively related to mathematics grades. Grades are also negatively related to perceived low competence and math anxiety. We found significant multiple correlations between results of general self-efficacy, self-competence, perceived perseverance, math anxiety as predictor variables and math grades as criteria variable. Perceived perseverance and math anxiety were not significant predictor variables of math grades.
