Abstract :The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between pre-service elementary school teachers’ mathematical literacy self-efficacy, mathematical modeling self-efficacy and attitudes. The study was conducted with relational survey model, one of the quantitative research designs. The study was conducted with 257 pre-service elementary school teachers’ studying at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade level. The data were collected with the Mathematics Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale, Mathematical Modeling Self-Efficacy Scale and Mathematical Modeling Attitude Scale. Frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation and difference tests were used to analyze the data. According to the results obtained, mathematical literacy self-efficacy and mathematical modeling self-efficacy of pre-service elementary school teachers were determined as medium level, and mathematical modeling attitudes were determined as high level. It was determined that pre-service elementary school teachers’ mathematical literacy self-efficacy and mathematical modeling self-efficacy differed significantly according to grade level, but mathematical modeling attitudes did not differ significantly according to grade level. It was determined that there was a positive and moderately significant relationship between pre-service elementary school teachers’ mathematical literacy self-efficacy, mathematical modeling self-efficacy and mathematical modeling attitudes.
