Özet
This research was carried out to examine the serial mediation role of mathematics self-efficacy and metacognition for problem-solving in the effect of reading comprehension on problem-solving. The relational research model, one of the quantitative research designs, was used in the study. A total of 699 middle school students studying in official public schools in Turkey participated in the study. SPSS and PROCESS macros were used in the analysis of the data of the study. The study revealed that reading comprehension, mathematics self-efficacy, and metacognition were related to problem-solving. The result of the study showed that mathematics self-efficacy and metacognition significantly mediate the relationship between reading comprehension and problem-solving.
