An Analysis of the Studies on Self-Efficacy in Mathematics Education in Turkey

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to carry out a content analysis of research articles and theses published in Turkey between 2008 2020 on self efficacy in mathematics education and to determine the trends of the mentioned studies. Document analysis were performed on 205 articles. A study classification form developed by Sozbilir, Kutu and Yasar (2012) was used to analyze the articles included in the study. The form consists of five sections: subject area, research patterns, data collection tools, sampling, and data analysis methods. Results show that self efficacy studies were mainly quantitative studies and most of them selected middle school students or preservice teachers as sample. Especially qualitative studies suggested to the researchers.
