Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between teachers’ self-efficacy, attitude, motivation and mathematics performance of Grade 10 students. The researcher made use of the descriptive-correlation design to investigate phenomenon. Respondents were purposely selected from four secondary public schools in Lupon district. Four instruments were used in the study: the teachers’ self-efficacy scale, teacher’s attitude scale, teacher’s motivation scale and Mathematics Achievement Test. Mean, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis of data. Findings revealed that the manifestation of teacher’s characteristics was high. Moreover, the overall level of students’ mathematics performance was very low. Furthermore, teachers’ self-efficacy, teachers’ attitude and teachers’ motivation had significant relationship with the mathematics performance of the students. Nevertheless, the results of regression analysis showed that the teachers’ self-efficacy and teachers’ motivation significantly predicted the mathematics performance of the students.
