Abstract :
Background: Mathematics is among the main subjects affecting academic performance and career prospects of several factors such as creativity, philosophical- mindedness, mathematics self-efficacy in mathematics. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of philosophical- mindedness, creativity, self-efficacy and mathematics self-concept on mathematics achievement. Methods: Method study was correlation and the statistical community was all student from Marand county. The sample group included 393) 257 girls, 136 boys) student that were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. Assessment instruments was of philosophical l- Mindedness, creativity, self-efficacy and mathematics self-concept questionnaire. Data were analyzed using path analysis and effect size. Results: Results show that the direct effect of mathematics self-efficacy on creativity, mathematics self-concept and mathematics achievement was positive and significant and indirect effect mathematics self-efficacy on mathematics achievement was significant. in addition direct effect of mathematics self-concept on mathematics achievement was significant. In this study, although the direct effect of creativity on math self-concept was positive and significant, and the negative impact of these variables indicate the progress of the mathematical creativity is a deterrent variable. In addition, the results of the research showed that the philosophical- Mindedness is one of the factors that influence on creativity, but a direct effect of this variable on the mathematics achievement was not significant. Conclusion: This information can be used in order to improvement student mathematics performance.
