By Cochran^,s formula, 258 people were selected by simple random sampling method. In order to collect data from the standard questionnaires academic self-efficacy in mathematics subject of Jink and Morgan (1999), the learning strategies of Pintrich and de Groot's (1990), the attitude towards school of McCutch and Siegel (2003) and the achievement goals of Middleton and Migli (1997) was used. The results of the research show that learning strategies and positive attitude towards school with the mediating role of achievement goals do not have an indirect effect on academic self-efficacy in mathematics. Learning strategies with the mediating role of progress goals in mathematics course do not have an indirect effect on academic self-efficacy in mathematics course. Positive attitude towards school with the mediating role of achievement goals in math lesson does not have an indirect effect on academic self-efficacy in math lesson.
