| Summary: | The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine differences indevelopmental mathematics students’ self-efficacy within the demographic datafrom the survey. Data from a sample of 240 Intermediate Algebra students at asingle four-year university using the Mathematics Self-Efficacy Resultsindicate that males possess higher levels of mathematics self-efficacy andconfidence with their mathematical abilities than females. Students whocompleted a lower developmental mathematics course prior to IntermediateAlgebra possess lower levels of mathematics self-efficacy. The results of thisstudy suggest developmental mathematics instructors should refine theirteaching methodologies by incorporating strategies to increase their student’sself-efficacy. |
