Abstract

Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in mathematics is an increasingly important competency in 21st-century education, but in reality, students in Indonesia still show low achievement in this aspect. This study aims to examine the role of self-efficacy as a mediating variable in the relationship between adversity quotient (AQ) and HOTS in mathematics of junior high school students, using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. Data were collected from 254 students using validated instruments, including the AQ scale (13 items), self-efficacy scale (10 items), and the HOTS test in mathematics. The results of the evaluation of the measurement model showed that all outer loading values ​​exceeded the minimum limit of 0.70, confirming adequate reliability and validity of the instrument. In the structural model, it was found that AQ had a significant effect on self-efficacy (β = 0.641, R² = 0.411) and a direct effect on HOTS (β = 0.279). Self-efficacy also showed a direct positive effect on HOTS (β = 0.114), resulting in an indirect effect of AQ on HOTS through self-efficacy of 0.073 (total effect = 0.352, R² = 0.132). This finding proves that self-efficacy acts as a partial mediator in the AQ–HOTS relationship, emphasizing the importance of simultaneously strengthening students' resilience in facing difficulties and academic self-confidence to improve higher-order mathematical thinking skills
