SUKUNZA-PAGOLA, Mikel; BERCIANO ALCARAZ, Ainhoa  y  MARBAN, José María. Measuring instruments for mathematical self-efficacy in Primary Education: a systematic literature review. Relime [online]. 2025, vol.28, e673.  Epub 05-Mar-2026. ISSN 2007-6819.  https://doi.org/10.12802/relime.2025.28.e673.

The number of studies analyzing mathematical self-efficacy has increased in recent years, highlighting its correlation with academic performance and other constructs within the affective domain. Given the diversity of instruments used to assess this construct and with the aim of understanding how and with which tools mathematical self-efficacy has been measured among primary education students, a systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 protocol. The results reveal a wide variety of tools, many of which were not developed with sufficient attention to domain specificity, appropriateness for the target population, or item wording, which in some cases may reflect constructs related to but distinct from self-efficacy. It is concluded that the concerns raised in the literature remain unresolved, and the identification of valid and reliable instruments is proposed to support future research and improve educational practice.
