The Role Of Teachers' Speech Speed And Students' Working Memory In Class Learning

Class learning is the main channel for learning; students in schools principal time spend in class, so it is particularly important to class learning. Discussing student's class learning, exploring the rule of information to give and receive in class, providing the theory basis for the class teaching, it is of great practical significance for improving teaching effectiveness and efficiency of students learning. This study investigated the impact of class learning in a number of factors of the two: Teachers'speech speed and students'working memory span and we explored the two factors effect on the class learning through the teaching experiment.Research is divided into two experiments: Experiment One used the moving window technique, taking the mathematical formula as the material, surveying students'working memory span, inspecting the student individual difference of working memory span; Experiment Two used 3×2 between-subject design. One factor is teachers'speech speed, divided into three levels (high, medium and low speed), the other is the students'working memory span, divided into two levels (the span aligned in higher and lower), To a screening test to 82 students for the test was to study in different speed levels of classroom achievement. This study reached the following conclusions:Firstly, there is not significant difference to teachers'average speech speed in class in middle schools on sex, work experience and other factorsSecondly, Students whose working memory span aligned in higher learning performance in class are significantly better than those whose working memory span aligned in lower of students from a general view.Thirdly, teachers'speech speed brings a significant impact on the students'class learning performance. Students'performance in class will come to be worse with teachers speeding up. Fourthly, it is existing interaction to students'performance between teachers'speech speed and students'working memory span.
