A Content Analysis of Mathematics Self-Efficacy Themed Articles Published in Türkiye

Abstract

Self-efficacy belief, which can affect the performance of individuals by determining their approach to goals, tasks and difficulties, has been the subject of numerous studies in different disciplines. Mathematics self-efficacy has become the focus of researchers all over the world, especially because of its strong impact on achievement in educational research. In Turkey, studies conducted with different variables and research designs on the theme of mathematics self-efficacy add richness to the literature, but make it difficult to reveal the current situation of this theme. This study aimed to investigate mathematics self-efficacy themed articles in terms of the field, subject, study group/sampling, applied method, data collection tools, analysis techniques, and publishing language in Turkey. The study was designed as a descriptive content analysis. 101 articles published between 2010 and 2022 were included in the study. Data were analysed by using the MAXQDA 2022 qualitative analysis program. The analysis of the data was based on the code and category list designed by Baş and Özturan Sağırlı (2017). The research concluded that the number of mathematics self-efficacy themed articles in Turkey has increased with fluctuations over the years, but there has been a significant decrease in recent years and these articles focused on the fields of mathematics and geometry education and the subject matter of mathematics self-efficacy, mathematical literacy self-efficacy, and mathematics teaching self-efficacy. In addition, it was determined that the most frequently used methods are surveys and scale development studies. These are followed by experimental design and mixed method studies. Accordingly, it has been concluded that data is often collected through scales/surveys, and very few studies apply qualitative data collection techniques. Moreover, the most used analysis techniques were correlation, t-test and ANOVA. It was determined that the most frequently studied group consists of middle school students and prospective teachers. Most of mathematics self-efficacy themed articles in Turkey were published in Turkish.
