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.
