This research employed quantitative method with comparative research type to 198 samples. The data were analysed through T-test using SPSS. The result showed that there was no significant self-efficiency differences between primary school teachers who have taken PPG on mathematics teaching and those who have not. The results of this research indicated that self-efficacy was an important variable in pedagogical competence as it could influence the way teachers manage the classroom to attain maximum students’ achievement.
