Abstract
Abstract. Gender differences and aspects of self-efficacy are factors that influence the success of the mathematics learning process. This study aims to obtain an an explanation of mathematical reasoning abilities based on gender differences in terms of mathematical self-efficacy. The sample of this research is a collection of scores of mathematical reasoning abilities, gender differences, and mathematical self-efficacy scores of XI high school students in a school in Bandung. The research sample consisted of 35 students, consisting of 19 male students and 16 female students. The research instruments were tests of mathematical reasoning abilities (MRA), gender differences, and a mathematics self-efficacy (SEM) questionnaire. Data analysis used ANACOVA, with MRA in the form of interval scale, gender category scale and SEM as covariate with interval scale. The results of the study are (1) there is a linear relationship between mathematical self-efficacy and mathematical reasoning ability- (2) there is no difference in students^ mathematical reasoning abilities based on gender differences. Furthermore, simultaneously SEM students and gender differences affect the MRA obtained by students.
