چکیده

The aim of this study was to explore relationships between students’ attitudes towards Mathematics, self-efficacy beliefs in problem-solving and achievement. The possibility of attitudes and selfefficacy to predict problem-solving performance was also examined. Attitude and efficacy scales were completed by 238 fifth-grade pupils. Problem-solving performance was measured by a specially prepared test, including simple and multi-step problems. The analysis of the data indicated significant relationship between attitudes and achievement and a stronger relationship between efficacy and achievement. Attitudes and efficacy were also correlated and both predicted achievement in problem-solving. However, efficacy was a more powerful predictor than attitudes. No gender difference was found in any of the examined variables.
