Abstract: This article aims to present the results of a study involving potential relationships between self-efficacy beliefs, as conceptualized by Albert Bandura, and the performance of 9th-grade students in elementary school and 165 3rd-year high school students, in solving tasks related to statistical literacy, from the perspective of Iddo Gal. In this research report, we present a qualitative analysis of data collection involving numerical quantification and justifications for positive or negative self-efficacy beliefs and student performance in solving three tasks comprising data collection and organization, construction and interpretation of tables and graphs. The results of this study revealed that the content of positive and negative self-efficacy beliefs influenced the students' success and failure in solving the tasks. Analysis of the written protocols revealed gaps in statistical and mathematical knowledge and literacy skills, which interfere with the development of statistical literacy.
