Efforts to enhance self-confidence and its impact on mathematics learning: A systematic literature review

This study aims to examine the role and efforts that can be made to improve Self-Confidence in mathematics learning. The method used is systematic literature review. The stages in this method researchers collect various scientific publications using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Based on the results of the article review, it is known that students who have high Self-Confidence in mathematics tend to have better math achievement and ability. Efforts that can be made to improve Self-Confidence are with learning strategies or models. The application of the Problem Based Learning learning model is the most widely done effort to improve students' mathematical Self-Confidence. In addition to Problem Based Learning, there are several efforts that can be made to improve students' self-confidence, among others, by applying CTL, Inquiry, Problem Solving, STAD, and MEAs learning models. Each has its own advantages and characteristics so that it can increase students' self-confidence. In addition to the learning model, the selection of learning media must also be considered in order to increase students' self-confidence in learning mathematics.
