Abstract

The aim ot the present study is to examine the effect of Socio-Economic (SES), individual and compositional effects, and Self efficacy on Mathematics performance. This relationship was analyzed among 600 6Th grade students who selected with Two- stage Stratified Cluster Design. A multilevel equation model was used to examine data from 600 students.The result showed that SES has a significant positive direct impact on Mathematics performance at both student level and family level, and self efficacy has a significant impact on Mathematics performance too. Model has a good modification and 18% and 32%, of the variance in mathematics performance explained at student level and family level respectively.
