The Effect of Web-based Homework on Student's Mathematics Self-Efficacy

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the adoption of web-based homework on mathematics self-efficacy level among secondary school students through using a mathematics web-based homework package called MyiMaths. In this study, a theoretical framework has been proposed by integrating the Technology acceptance model (TAM) with the self-efficacy theory. Three hundred and forty five structured questionnaires were collected from secondary school students in Malaysia. The data were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings exposed that there were significant relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and attitude toward the use of a web-based mathematics homework tool. A significant relationship was also found between attitude and mathematics self-efficacy factor. Researchers and instructors should consider the opportunity that the web-based homework tools can offer to successfully help students to develop mathematics self-efficacy level.
