Özet
This study, conducted according to the correlational survey model, investigated the relationships between middle school students' mathematics achievement and their mathematics anxiety, attitudes, and self-efficacy. The study was conducted with the participation of 740 middle school students selected according to appropriate sampling procedures. The data were analyzed using correlation analysis, the independent samples t-test, and ANOVA. Effect sizes were also calculated in cases where the dependent variables differed significantly across the independent variables. The highest correlation between the scales and their dimensions was found between the general mathematics attitude scale and the interest dimension, while the lowest correlation was found between the mathematics achievement score and the general mathematics self-efficacy and anxiety scale. Negative, significant relationships were observed between math anxiety and math achievement scores, interest, anxiety, effort, necessity, self-efficacy, and the overall math attitude scale. Our research findings provide strong evidence that students' self-efficacy beliefs play a significant role in the learning-teaching process in mathematics education. Accordingly, it is recommended that teaching programs be structured to target the development of students' mathematical self-efficacy. To achieve this goal, teaching strategies and practical examples that support students' self-efficacy beliefs can be incorporated into mathematics curricula, encouraging teachers to use different teaching methods and techniques. Furthermore, to enable teachers to play an effective role in developing this skill, mathematics teachers can be supported through seminars and training as part of professional development programs focused on self-efficacy.
