The results of the research showed that the academic qualification has a positive role in the mathematics teachers' possession of self-efficacy, and the results related to teaching mathematics have shown that self-efficacy has a positive role in that.
The research recommended several recommendations, including holding training workshops for female teachers to enhance their self-efficacy belief and increase their self-efficacy.
