Abstract:

The present study sought to examine if 9th grade students’ prior involvement in extracurricular mathematical activities (camps, competitions, clubs, and tutoring) effects students’ math self-efficacy and proficiency. In order to examine this the present study utilized the National Center for Education Statistic’s High School Longitudinal Study dataset from 2009. Results of the present study indicate having been part of a math club or competition previously has a negative effect on math self-efficacy and a positive effect on math proficiency. This study found that having been part of a math camp previously has a negative effect on a student’s math proficiency.
