The purpose of this study was to investigate educational, basic background of feedback and effects of teacher`s corrective feedback on sense of self -efficacy and academic achievement toward mathematics subject and to provide basic material which feedback can apply to teaching learning activity. The research questions were as follows: 1. Is there any difference in Sense of Self -Efficacy toward Mathematics subject between the Experimental group[EG] received teacher`s corrective feedback and Control group not received?. 2. Is there any difference in Academic Achievement toward Mathematics subject between EG and CG. 3. Is there any difference in Sense of Self-efficacy and academic achievement toward mathematics subject between sex in EG. Fifth grade were selected (EG; 78, CG; 77) in 2 elementary schools located at Jeonju city. Previous survey(Sense of Self-Efficacy and academic achievement toward mathematics subject) was carried out and the result between selected schools were alike. The instruments for this study were self-efficacy questionnaire and Academic Achievement toward Mathematics subject. Statistical analysis for test analysis was performed by the technique of T-test The major findings of this study were as follows: 1. There was a significant difference(p<.05) between EG and CG, namely, the experimental group was higher than the control group in sense of self-efficacy. 2. There was a significant difference(p<.05) between EG and CG. In other word, the experimental group was higher than the control group in mathematics performance. 3. In case of difference in sense of self-efficacy and academic achievement toward Mathematics subject between sex in the experimental group, there was no significant difference between sex in Sense of Self -Efficacy. But there was significant difference between sex in Academic Achievement. That is, the female was higher than male in Academic Achievement. In sum up these results, Teacher`s Corrective Feedback contributed to fostering Sense of Self-Efficacy and Academic Achievement toward Mathematics subject. Therefore the teacher need to operate corrective feedback about cognitive process of learner and to study feedback methods which are suitable to a given learning environment. However, for the more systematic search for the influence of feedback, the further study of this kind under more valid experimental conditions with more elaborate stimulus will be needed.
