13674

The aim of this study is to investigate the self-efficacy beliefs about mathematical literacy of mathematics, science and primary school teacher trainees. In this research, the self-efficacy beliefs of teacher trainees about the mathematical literacy and the variation of self-efficacy beliefs of teacher trainees according to their gender and to the education field they study in have been determined. Self-Efficacy Scale about Mathematical Literacy applied to the total of 571 teacher trainees, where 196 of them were studying in mathematics, 188 of them were studying in science and 267 of them in primary school teacher departments. The self-efficacy beliefs of mathematics and science teacher trainees about the mathematical literacy are higher as compared to the primary school teacher trainees. While there are no significant differences among self-efficacy beliefs of mathematics, science and primary school teacher trainees with regards to their gender, there are significant differences among these teacher trainees with regards to their class levels and education fields. In conclusion, it has been found out that self-efficacy beliefs about mathematical literacy of teacher trainees need to develop.
