The Research On Improving The Mathematical Application Ability Of Students Major In Science And Engineering Via Computer

Along with the enlargement of mathematical application domain, the training of mathematical application ability in teaching is very urgent. The rapid development of information technology and the wide application of computer supply a new thinking, a more convenient and effective tool for the improvement of current teaching model and the training of mathematical application ability.On the basis of questionnaire and theory study, this thesis puts forward a mathematical teaching model which is based on constructivism, compromises computer and mathematical software application, to promote the training of mathematical application ability of the students whose major is science and engineering. This paper gives an example to introduce how to use the new teaching model in classroom instruction. The main works are as follows:1. After drawing up questionnaire, advance test, formal test and data analysis, the situation of mathematical teaching model is understood clearly. The object of investigation is juniors and seniors of four science and engineering departments of Sichuan normal university.2. The paper studies the learning theory and teaching theory of constructivism, analyses further the influence of constructivism onmathematics teaching, indicates that the learning model and teaching model of constructivism can guide the training of mathematical application ability.3. According to the theory study and investigation, this paper gives a new mathematical teaching model, discusses its features and teaching methods, compares the traditional mathematical teaching model with the new one.4. Finally, an example, which is important elementary course linear algebra, is used to explain how to use the new mathematical teaching model to train the students' mathematical application ability.
