Abstract
Low self-confidence in problem solving is one of the main issues in terms of mathematics education between high school students, and this issue led to decreasing the mathematic learning. Mathematic educators always faced a challenge with learners for not being proactive in solving the problems and avoiding them, hence this study aimed to explore the main factors that influence self-confidence problem solving. A total of 20 questions are designed based on different literature and principle components, and confirmatory factor analysis was used for analysing the data. The results of the study indicated that the main influence factors are ability, motivation, perseverance, sense of helplessness and inhibitor. Finally, recommendation and some policies are presented to increase the self-confidence in educational system.
