Özet

<p>The study investigates the nexus between high school students&#39; mathematics performance and their self-efficacy, interest, and motivation. The study sampled 280 students from two selected senior high schools in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The study employed stratified sampling and simple random sampling. A structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions was used as an instrument for data collection. The study used multiple linear regression analysis run in SPSS (ver. 23) to assess the various research questions. The results indicate that students&rsquo; self-efficacy, students&rsquo; interest, and motivation had a significant positive effect on students&rsquo; mathematics performance. Therefore, it is recommended that educational stakeholders should consider students&rsquo; self-efficacy, interest, and motivation into account to have a significant impact on their mathematics performance.</p>
