The Investigation And Research About Students' Mathematics Belief In High Schools

This thesis follows the hotspots in the study of mathematic education and focuses on the mathematics view that middle school students hold.Taking a overlook of the achievements in this field both home and abroad,I find that most of the study stresses the importance of logical thinking and on the other hand,ignores demonstration,especially lacking a clear mathematics view,the strategy in learning mathematics and the result reports of students' learning mathematics.This thesis does a research on the general condition of some of the senior high school students' mathematics view,a sex difference in the students' mathematics view,a grade difference under both the new and old curricular as well as an statistic analysis of the relativity in mathematics view,learning strategy and the study result by the means of questionnaire survey and interview.(1) There is an obvious difference in the mathematics view among boy and girl students, especially in the aspect of "comprehension to the value of mathematics study".(2) Besides,there is a sharp difference between the grade 1 and grade 2 students,who, respectively study under the new and old curricular.The mathematics view that Grade 1 students hold outweighs that of the Grade 2.The obvious differences in the mathematics view lie in the aspects such as "the realization to the content and problems in mathematics study","the comprehension to the value of mathematics study",and "the understanding to the mathematics study".(3) The students' mathematics view is in close relation to their learning strategy,which indicates that the higher level of students' learning strategies are,the more advanced their mathematics view are,and vice versa.(4) In addition,the students' mathematics view is closely related to the result of their learning. It suggests that the more advanced the students' mathematics view are,the better results they achieve in learning mathematics,and vice versa.
