Abstract

This study examines the mathematics self-efficacy of 833 high school students from four Brazilian public schools. Using an exploratory cross-sectional design with a mixed-methods approach, students completed online instruments including a sociodemographic questionnaire, scales measuring various self-efficacy domains (mathematics, self-regulated learning, social and emotional) and open-ended questions about their perceived attributes in learning mathematics. Multiple regression analysis revealed that student characteristics and self-efficacy domains collectively explained 47.4% of the variance in mathematics self-efficacy. Qualitative analysis revealed the complex nature of mathematics self-efficacy, emphasising students' perceptions of their strengths and weaknesses in learning. The study underscores the significant influence of student characteristics and self-efficacy domains, highlighting the importance of mixed-methods approaches for deeper insights and guiding future educational interventions.

巴西高中生数学自我效能感：一项混合方法的研究

本研究对巴西四所公立学校833名高中生的数学自我效能感进行了调查。采用混合方法的探索性横断面设计，学生们完成了在线工具，包括社会人口调查问卷、测量各种自我效能领域（数学、自我调节学习、社会和情感）的量表，以及关于他们在数学学习中的感知属性的开放式问题。多元回归分析显示，学生特征和自我效能域共同解释了47.4%的数学自我效能方差。定性分析揭示了数学自我效能感的复杂性，强调学生对自己学习优势和劣势的认知。该研究强调了学生特征和自我效能感领域的重要影响，强调了混合方法方法对更深入的见解和指导未来教育干预的重要性。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Psychology (IJP) is the journal of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and is published under the auspices of the Union. IJP seeks to support the IUPsyS in fostering the development of international psychological science. It aims to strengthen the dialog within psychology around the world and to facilitate communication among different areas of psychology and among psychologists from different cultural backgrounds. IJP is the outlet for empirical basic and applied studies and for reviews that either (a) incorporate perspectives from different areas or domains within psychology or across different disciplines, (b) test the culture-dependent validity of psychological theories, or (c) integrate literature from different regions in the world.
