How do self‐efficacy and self‐concept impact mathematical achievement? The case of mathematical modelling

Background According to the self‐enhancement perspective, self‐efficacy and self‐concept are shaped by prior achievement and have a crucial impact on future development. Their role in improving performance on challenging tasks, such as mathematical modelling (i.e., solving realistic problems mathematically), has barely been studied. Aims We investigated patterns of self‐efficacy and self‐concept and their predictive effects on mathematical...
