Conceptions of Efficiency: Applications in Learning and Problem Solving (2010, methodology): “The likelihood model has been used appropriately in this capacity to measure the efficiency of processing ability and background knowledge (Hoffman & Schraw, 2009), or to assess differences in efficiency because of categorical variables such as grade and ability level or problem difficulty (Imbo &…”
Relations among math self-efficacy, interest, intentions, and achievement: a social cognitive perspective (2018, background): “Students with high levels of self-efficacy persist with difficult academic problems, possess better problem solving abilities and efficiency (Hoffman & Schraw, 2009; Pajares & Miller, 1994), set challenging educational goals (Lee et al., 2014), and tend to better self-correct in academic situations…”
Does math self-efficacy mediate the effect of the perceived classroom environment on standardized math test performance? (2010, background): “Students with higher math self-efficacy persist longer on difficult math problems and are more accurate in math computations than are those with lower math self-efficacy (Collins, 1982; Hoffman & Schraw, 2009).”
