The impact of self efficacy beliefs and work motivation on the quality of mathematics test instruments by elementary school teachers

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of self-efficacy beliefs and mathematical ability on the quality of elementary school teacher tests in designing mathematical test instruments. This study uses quantitative methods, and the type of path analysis. The population in this study were all elementary school teachers in five regions of Jakarta Province, the East Jakarta, South Jakarta, North Jakarta, Central Jakarta and West Jakarta as many as 41.951 people. The sample selection was conducted using the two stage random sampling technique using the Glenn table guide, so that 100 school teachers in DKI Jakarta were determined. Analysis of the data used for research data includes: descriptive analysis, test data analysis requirements, and inferential analysis. Significance of regression testing is done by using SPSS. The results showed that; 1) self-efficacy belief directly has a positive effect on the quality of mathematics test instruments made by elementary school teachers, 2) mathematical ability directly has a positive effect on the quality of mathematics test instruments made by elementary school teachers, 3) self-efficacy beliefs directly has a positive effect on mathematical abilities. The results of this study are expected to give teachers insight into the development of mathematical test instruments for students, thus providing a reference in expanding knowledge and civilizing teachers in the design of mathematical test instruments.
