摘要：This research paper aims to asses the different sources of self-efficacy in solving mathematical problems on a sample of 240 students in the final grades of secondary vocational schools from the City of Zagreb. The conducted research determined elements that affect self-efficacy in solving mathematical problems and it sought to examine whether there are gender differences in the selfassessed level of self-efficacy in solving problems in the context of distance learning of mathematics.Although it was established that male and female students do not differ in the self-assessed level of self-efficacy in solving mathematical problems, it was discovered that male and female students differ in the various factors determining their psychological states, as one of the dimensions affecting selfefficacy in solving mathematical problems – where female students manifest more negative physiological-emotional reactions to mathematics, while male students manifest less negative physiological-emotional reactions to mathematics.
