Resumen

El número de trabajos que analizan la autoeficacia matemática ha ido en aumento en los últimos años, destacando su correlación con el rendimiento académico y otros constructos del dominio afectivo. Ante la diversidad de herramientas utilizadas para medir dicho constructo, señalada por diversos autores, y con el objetivo de conocer cómo y con qué herramientas se ha medido la autoeficacia matemática entre el alumnado de Educación Primaria, se plantea una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica aplicando el protocolo Prisma 2020, con especial atención a las herramientas descritas para tal fin. Los resultados muestran una amplia variedad de herramientas, que no siempre han sido elaboradas atendiendo a la especificidad de dominio, la adecuación a la población a la que van dirigidas o la propia redacción de los ítems, que pueden estar relacionados con otros constructos similares a la autoeficacia. Se concluye que persiste la problemática señalada por diversos autores y se propone identificar herramientas válidas y fiables para mejorar futuras investigaciones y la práctica docente.
