<![CDATA[This study aims to determine how students' mathematical connection abilities in solving problems are viewed from self-efficacy. This study is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach conducted at SMA Plus Muhammadiyah Merauke. The research subjects consisted of 3 grade 10 students selected based on the results of a self-efficacy questionnaire. Data collection techniques in this study were a self-efficacy questionnaire to determine the subjects, a mathematical connection ability test, and interviews. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that: Students with high self-efficacy categories and moderate self-efficacy categories fulfilled the three indicators of mathematical connection abilities, namely being able to connect concepts between mathematical topics, connecting mathematics in other fields of study, and being able to connect mathematics in everyday life. Students with high self-efficacy categories and moderate self-efficacy categories were able to plan effectively, believe in their abilities, and succeed in completing a task. Students with low self-efficacy were unable to meet the three indicators of mathematical connection skills: connecting concepts between mathematical topics, connecting mathematics with other fields of study, and connecting mathematics with everyday life. Students with low self-efficacy tended to hesitate when attempting to solve mathematical problems and were unable to overcome the challenges they faced. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that self-efficacy levels influence students' mathematical connection skills. Keywords: Mathematical Connection, Self-efficacy]]>
