This qualitative research purpose to analyze the mathematical representation ability of students in solving problems viewed from the level of self-efficacy. This research was conducted on 6E grade of mathematics education students at the University of Singapore Karawang. This research is focused on the ability of visual representation, equations representation or mathematical expressions, and words representations or written texts as seen from the level of student self-efficacy. The dimensions of self-efficacy include magnitude, strength, and generality. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as tests, questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that the ability of mathematical representation is very important and needed by students in understanding material and solving problems, if the ability of mathematical representation is lacking then it causes a lack of student understanding of the material given so that students have difficulty in working on given problems. A good mathematical representation ability is supported by good student self-efficacy, with optimism and never give up in working on any given problem by thinking of strategies for solving the solution.
