AB  - This study aimed at exploring the interactions of the science high school students’ mathematics self-efficacy (MSE) among its sources, their mathematics performance (MP), vocational interests (VI), and career choice (CC) in STEM. Four instruments were administered to 144 science high school students, which measures the sources of MSE, MSE, VI, and CC in STEM. Out of the 144 samples, 23 students who represent those with high, average, and low MSE level computed using the mean MSE score of the 144 participants were chosen for the qualitative method using a semi-structured interview. 

The result showed that mastery experiences (ME) among the sources of MSE, contributes the most to the science high school students’ development of MSE, followed by vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and physiological and emotional states. Among the sources of MSE, mastery and vicarious experiences have a significant relationship with MSE at ‘p < .05’. Other significant relationships found in the present study is between ME and MP, and VI and CC in STEM. Furthermore, the result of the PLS-PM with R showed that there are nonsignificant relationships between MSE and MP, MSE and VI, and MSE and CC in STEM. And that MSE is not a good predictor of the science high school students’ mathematics performance, vocational interests, and career choice in STEM.

The qualitative data supported the quantitative result of the PLS-PM with R, which showed that other factors affect the science high school students’ development of MSE, mathematics performance, vocational interests, and career choice in STEM. These factors include the students’ interests, motivation, perceived abilities, previous performances, and training received from the advanced curriculum of the science high school. Implications and recommendations are discussed.
