📄 Abstract
This study aims to determine whether math resilience significantly mediates the relationship between math self-efficacy and student engagement in mathematics among grade 8 junior high school students in Laak District, Division of Davao de Oro. This quantitative research utilized descriptive and correlational designs. There were 293 respondents identified through stratified random sampling. Moreover, this study employed three adapted research instruments validated and treated using mean, standard deviation, Pearson-r, regression analysis, and bootstrapping. The findings revealed high levels of math self-efficacy, student engagement, and math resilience among the grade 8 respondents. The results also showed a significant relationship between math self-efficacy and student engagement in math. Math resilience also positively correlates with student engagement in math. The results also revealed a significant relationship between math self-efficacy and math resilience. Moreover, the findings indicate that math resilience partially mediates the relationship between math self-efficacy and student engagement in math. These results encourage educators and administrators to develop and broaden programs and interventions to improve math self-efficacy, math resilience, and student engagement in math. Furthermore, it is essential to replicate the study in various contexts and locales to validate the findings of this research and provide a more profound knowledge of these variables on a broader scale.
