The aims of this research was to determine the fit of the conceptual model of mathematical performance based on perception of constructive learning environment with the mediating role of mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics with the experimental model in junior high school students. The research design method was correlational and was part of applied research; among them, 326 people were selected as a research sample by relative stratified random sampling by gender. The tools used in the research were questionnaires of constructivist learning environment perceptions of haghayghi and kareshki (2015); self-efficacy Middleton and Migley (1997); motivation to learn mathematics Corter (2005) final grade score of students' math lessons. To analyze the obtained data, descriptive statistical indexes such as mean and standard deviation and to answer the hypotheses of the research of inferential statistics include: confirmatory factor modeling, was used by smart PLS software. The results showed that perception of constructivist learning environment perceptions had a positive and significant effect on mathematical performance, mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics. Also, mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics had a positive and significant effect on mathematical performance. In general, it was concluded that the conceptual model of mathematical performance based on the perception of constructive learning environment with the mediating role of mathematical self-efficacy and motivation to learn mathematics fits with the experimental model.

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.
