TY - JOUR AU - Mr. Joel I. Alvarez, PY - 2023/03/09 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATHEMATICS BELIEFS AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN MATHEMATICS AS MEDIATED BY CREATIVE SELF-EFFICACY JF - EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR) JA - EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR) VL - 9 IS - 3 SE - Articles DO - UR - http://eprajournals.net/index.php/IJMR/article/view/1641 SP - 93-102 AB - <p><strong><em>In this study, there are three factors that affect the Mathematics performance of the students: Mathematics Beliefs, Student Engagement in Mathematics, and Creative Self-Efficacy. These factors may have significant direct effect on how a student transfers knowledge. Moreover, this study was conducted to determine that Creative Self-Efficacy can be a mediator of Mathematics Beliefs and Student Engagement in Mathematics.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Descriptive-correlational research method was used to describe the relationship of Student Engagement in Mathematics and Mathematics Beliefs, mediated by Creative Self-Efficacy. The study included the 237 first year students who were randomly selected. These students completed the Student Engagement in Mathematics Questionnaire (SEMQ), Mathematics Beliefs Scale (MBS) and Creative self-efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ). The test of hypothesis and significance were done using the program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 and Microsoft Excel.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>This study concluded that there is no significant relationship between Student Engagement in Mathematics and creative Self-efficacy, </em></strong><strong><em>Student Engagement in Mathematics and Mathematics Beliefs,</em></strong><strong><em> and </em></strong><strong><em>Creative Self-efficacy and Mathematics Beliefs.</em></strong><strong><em> Hence, </em></strong><strong><em>Creative Self-efficacy is not a mediator between the relationship of Student Engagement in Mathematics and Mathematics Beliefs.</em></strong></p> ER -
