Summary

Introduction

Mathematics is one of the most important subjects in this country’s education system.mathematics is well known as the killer subject where students tend to have trouble getting good grade because students usually get bad grades in mathematics, they think that mathematics is one of the most challenging subjects, which makes students less interested in mathematics. In Trends in International Mathematics and Sciences Study (TIMSS), Malaysian students are still in the low level in the program This was an unfavourable result showing that Malaysia is still lagging compared to neighbouring countries like Singapore. Malaysia was in ranked 57th out of 74 countries involved in PISA This proves that the performance of Malaysian students in mathematics is still in the below the national target. Bandura (1977) described self-efficacy as one’s belief on their own ability to organize and take an action to achieve good results. The authors used this definition as a main guideline while reviewing all the articles selected. High self-efficacy is required mainly to help students in their mathematics performance
