The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cooperative learning on self-efficacy and self-concept of student's mathematics. Quasi-experimental method using pre- test and post- test with control group was established in this study. High school's first grade girls in Ardabil city was considered as the population of this study in 1393-1394 academic year. Sixty seven students from two classes of the same school had been selected by accessible sampling. Cooperative learning with Student Team's Achievement Division (STAD) and traditional lecturing method was used in experimental and control group respectively. Pre-test and post tests were applied before and after intervening variable. Data were collected using Middleton and Midgley's (1997) questionnaire of self-efficiency with reliability co efficiency of 0/87 and Marsh (1983) questionnaire of self-concept with reliability co efficiency of 0/89. Data were entered in SPSS software for both descriptive and inferential statistics. Mean and standard deviation were used as descriptive statistics and multi co-variance analysis were used for inferential statistics. There was significant difference of self-efficiency and self-concept of student's mathematics. The results of the present study showed cooperative learning with STAD in comparison with traditional methods of teaching have more influence in increasing self-efficiency and self- concept of student's mathematics.
