FACTORS THAT PREDICTS GEOMETRY SELF EFFICACY OF PRESERVICE ELEMANTARY

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine those factors which contribute to the geometry self efficacy of a sample of 312 preservice elementary teachers. Data were collected by using self efficacy scale toward geometry, Van Hiele geometric thinking level test, geometry attitude scale, and geometry achievement test. A correlation analysis revealed that the relationship between geometry self efficacy and all other variables are significant. Moreover, the findings from a regression showed that a combination of these variables was able to predicts geometry self efficacy significantly.
