Development of a mathematical performance model based on constructivist learning environment perceptions with the mediating role of mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematic in first grade high school students

The aims of this research was to determine the fit of the conceptual model of mathematical performance based on perception of constructive learning environment with the mediating role of mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics with the experimental model in junior high school students. The research design method was correlational and was part of applied research; among them, 326 people were selected as a research sample by relative stratified random sampling by gender. The tools used in the research were questionnaires of constructivist learning environment perceptions of haghayghi and kareshki (2015); self-efficacy Middleton and Migley (1997); motivation to learn mathematics Corter (2005) final grade score of students' math lessons. To analyze the obtained data, descriptive statistical indexes such as mean and standard deviation and to answer the hypotheses of the research of inferential statistics include: confirmatory factor modeling, was used by smart PLS software. The results showed that perception of constructivist learning environment perceptions had a positive and significant effect on mathematical performance, mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics. Also, mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics had a positive and significant effect on mathematical performance. In general, it was concluded that the conceptual model of mathematical performance based on the perception of constructive learning environment with the mediating role of mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics fits with the experimental model.
