The Relationship Between Numeracy and Mathematics Self-Efficacy of Senior High School Students in Pekalongan Regency

Nadia Sefiany, Elly Arliani

Abstract


This study aims to describe the numeracy profile and mathematics self-efficacy (MSE) of high school students in Pekalongan Regency based on school strata and examine the relationship between the two. The study used a quantitative survey method with 366 grade 11 students selected through stratified proportional random sampling. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, ANOVA, correlation, crosstab and chi-square. The results showed that students' numeracy was in the basic category, with significant differences between school strata (p < 0.05). Students' MSE is in the moderate category, with the strength dimension as the highest achievement. There was a significant positive relationship between numeracy and MSE (r = 0.407, p < 0.05), as well as a linear relationship between numeracy and MSE categories with = 49.626 (p < 0.05). This study underscores the importance of educational interventions to improve numeracy and MSE simultaneously.
