Nowadays, one of a new changing point of people's realization towards math education is that math education should be aimed at the cultural quality education of the learner. The base of this point is that firstly, math has become the base of natural science, social science and behavioural science, and the content, ideology and other elements of math have been widespreadly applied to our social life; secondly, math plays a key role in improving the scientific and cultural qualities of a nation because it not only provided us with applying technology but also gibes people capability; thirdly, one of the weak line in math education is the cultivation of the ability of self-supervision and self-control. While the development of students' self-supervision in math study has lagged behind their development of psychological ability.From the practical point of view, the mathematic accomplishment, especially the role of self-efficacy in non-intellectual elements plays in teaching and studying has gradually drawn the attention of the workers in math education. However, the cultivation of self-efficacy has always been prevented to move forward and the teaching effect is still not desirable. Students has the following problems in math learning; firstly, they are not quite clear about cognitive ability they posses;secondly, they don't have a clear understanding about their own process and structure in cognition, and hence many problems like week ability of self-supervision base been brought about. Then, under the present teaching and learning method of our country and how to combine the development of mathematic ability and improving self-efficacy, have become realistic epics that deserves deep researching. Just as Zancofu has stated, "Once the teaching method get to the area of emotion and will, and their spiritual needs, its high efficiency can be brought into play."Theoretically, after the 50s of the 20th century, the main targets in the research of mathematic study are the studies of signals, content, proposition, rules and problem solving. While the dynamic research of the sense of self-efficacy in students' math study and how to improve it accordingly with the school environment to begin with is insufficient. In order to make the sense of self-efficiency widespreadly applied to math study, we expect, from the angle of psychology of mathematic education, to study the effects of the sense of self-efficacy in students' math study and then formulate certain teaching concepts and principles, so as to guide the practical teaching of this subject as well as of others.The research of the feeling of self-efficacy has become an issue that can not allow to be ignored in the research of math educational study. One of very important aspects in the cultivation of mathematic achievement is to acquire good capability in self-examination and self-regulation. As I see it, we should make the feeling of self-efficacy in math study deeply involved into teaching and learning activities, and get the essential elements of formation and development of the sense of self-efficacy to guide students in their self-regulating in their math study. Therefore, during the research work, we randomly choose students of all grades and of both college and secondary school level in Guangxi Ecological and Professional Technical College and made an investigating questionnaire, and then deeply analyzed. By using this theory, the difference, characteristic as well as interior and external elements and the seriousness and weakness of self-efficacy in everyday math study of students who are in deferent gradation (gender, age and results of study). By following that, we choose a class of grade two in secondary specialized school of Guangxi Ecological and Professional Technical College, to conduct experiment on the effect on math study by emphasizing self-efficacy and by not doingso and so as to study the dynamic changing rules of self-regulating in students' learning, expecting to get the key elements of self-regulation and in improving se...
