Abstract
The objectives of this research were 1) Study the factors affecting Mathematics Achievement. 2) Study the relationship of factors affecting Mathematics Achievement and 3) Study the influence on Mathematics Achievement. The samples consisted of 420 students using Multistage Random Sampling. The instruments consisted of 1) Self Efficacy test 2) Teaching Behaviors questionnaire 3) Attitude Towards Learning test 4) Motivation to Learn test and 5) Mathematics Achievement Test by using Structural Equation Model.
The results of the research were as follows: 1) Overall, the factor level in motivation to learn teaching behaviors self efficacy and attitude towards learning was at a high level, with an
mean at 3.70, 3.63, 3.42 and 3.28 respectively. 2) Self efficacy and mathematics achievement has
the highest correlation coefficient at 0.776. motivation to learn and mathematics achievement
has the lowest correlation coefficient at 0.381. and 3) Research hypothesis model of Factors Affecting
Mathematics Achievement. Is consistent with the empirical data. Which was χ2 = 0.49, df = 1, P-value = 0.486, RMSEA = 0.000, GFI = 1.00, AGFI = 0.99, SRMR = 0.004 and χ2/df = 0.49. Self efficacy teaching behaviors attitude towards learning and motivation to learn can jointly explain the variance Mathematics Achievement percentage 66. Attitude Towards Learning be partial mediation of self efficacy and teaching behaviors. While, motivation to learn no mediation of self efficacy and teaching behaviors.
