Abstract

This research sought to explore how the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model affects the learning interest and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade students in Senior High School. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the study utilized a sample of eleventh-grade students selected through simple random sampling. Data were gathered using questionnaires and observational methods and analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) test. The results underscored the notable influence of the PjBL model in enhancing learning interest and self-efficacy. The PjBL approach positively affected these variables in the experimental group of 28 students. The robustness of these results was confirmed by Pillai's Trace, Wilks' Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, and Roy's Largest Root tests, each demonstrating F-values with a significance level of 0.000, well below the threshold of 0.05. Moreover, the Coefficient of determination (R²) revealed that the PjBL model accounted for 73.5% of the variance in learning interest and 90.2% in self-efficacy, with the remaining variance being attributable to other factors not addressed in this study.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving is a core competency in primary education, yet how self-efficacy, self-regulation, and mathematics anxiety jointly influence performance on tasks of varying cognitive demand remains unclear. This study assessed 180 fifth-grade students from five public elementary schools in Medan City, Indonesia, using three instruments: a 10-item Mathematics Achievement Test (6 LOTS and 4 HOTS items), a 20-item Self-Efficacy and Self-Regulation Scale (10 items per subscale), and the 9-item Modified Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (mAMAS). Multiple linear regression showed that self-efficacy (βLOTS = 0.279; βHOTS = 0.261) and self-regulation (βLOTS = 0.214; βHOTS = 0.223) significantly predicted performance on both lower- and higher-order thinking tasks (p < 0.001), explaining 63.7% and 55.2% of the variance, respectively. Mathematics anxiety was not a significant predictor (p > 0.23). Findings suggest that fostering students’ confidence and metacognitive strategies is more effective than reducing anxiety for improving mathematical problem-solving across cognitive complexity levels. Educational interventions should prioritize strengthening self-efficacy and self-regulation to support robust mathematical development in upper primary classrooms.
