The study variables were measured by instruments adopted from literature for data collection using the survey method. Based on the obtained results, there is a significant relationship between mathematics teaching anxiety and motivation towards teaching mathematics, but not between self-efficacy beliefs and mathematics teaching anxiety. This study concluded with recommendations for future research.
