Abstract

This study looked at the connection between students’ attitudes, self-efficacy, and mathematics achievement among senior secondary school students in Remo North, Nigeria. Two research questions were raised. Using a correlational research design, data were collected from 500 students from 5 schools in Remo North via three validated instruments (MAS=0.928, MSES=0.882, and MAT= 0.88). Analysis revealed significant positive correlations between mathematics achievement and both attitude (r = .382, p < .05) and self-efficacy (r = .411, p < .05). Regression analysis showed that these variables jointly predicted 17.2% of the variance in achievement. The study concludes that students' attitude and self-efficacy is a significant determinant of their performance in mathematics.
