Abstract

Students self-efficacy plays an important role because self-efficacy affects students choice of activities, how much effort they put in, and how long they will endure in the face of adversity. The purpose of this research is to obtain a description of what factors that students feel most important in their self-efficacy and to obtain a description of how students self-efficacy in algebraic relation and function. This research used a qualitative research method and case study design. Data collection techniques used were questionnaire and interview. The subjects in this study were students of 10th grade in a senior high school in Bandung. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the main factor that students feel most important in their self-efficacy is mastery experience, followed by physical and emotional states. Most of the students have good self-efficacy on the dimensions of magnitude and strength, but still lack on the dimensions of generality in the topic of algebraic relation and function.
