Abstract Purpose: The advent of the 21st century and the advancement of instructional materials and methods played a prominent role in developing the innate potentialities of an individual. The contribution made through various theoretical frameworks by past research on math attitude, math anxiety, mathematics self-efficacy, and others in academic and non-academic arenas in the field of education is significant. This research paper aims to practically apply Bandura’s social cognitive framework with its factors leading to mathematics achievements.
Methodology: This paper is quantitative, using mediation analysis to explore the impacts of factors on mathematics achievements. The undergraduate students were chosen via convenience sampling, with a sample of 157, and 20 items were present in the online survey questionnaire prepared.
Findings: The result suggests a strong relationship between students' attitudes towards mathematics and others for increasing their mathematical anxiety, affecting their mathematics achievement.
Originality/value: The findings will be helpful for educators, students, and policymakers to utilise novel information and to develop intervention plans and strategies to determine their learning methods. They will also boost systematic literature reviews for future researchers.
