A Study On The Teaching Strategies Of Improving The Senior Students' Mathematics Epistemic Beliefs

Mathematics epistemic beliefs refer to the students'simple view to mathematics knowledge and the understanding process of mathematics knowledge. Students'mathematics epistemic beliefs is the research topic concerned by the Western countries for nearly 30 years, while it just gets started in our country. Many foreign researches indicated that, students'beliefs hid behind theirs behaviors, their cognition process, and the emotion experiences, just like an invisible hand, is directing the study process, thus affecting this study result profoundly. The cultural tradition of society and teaching environment are outer factors that affect the formation of students'mathematics epistemic beliefs. The teacher can improve the learning environment for students by regulating their teaching strategies, so that the students formed effective mathematics epistemic beliefs. Effective beliefs urged the students to take part in their learning activities actively, and then improve their study finally.This article takes the instruction of the theories of mathematics epistemic beliefs, using integrated, systematized research orientation ,and using literature analytic method, questionnaire survey method, education experiment method and so on, I did an experiment with the students of Grade Two in a Nanning high school,using the teaching strategies of improving mathematics epistemic beliefs. I surveyed the change of the stuents'math results. On the basis of the study of personal case, I carried on the theory discussion and the practice research and got got the conclusion as follows:1. Establishing question situations, and building democratic study atmosphere have remarkable effects on improving senior students'mathematics epistemic beliefs; Taking the students as the center, and innovating teaching environment have very remarkable effects on improving senior students'mathematics epistemic beliefs ;Leading students think actively, and developing the reconsidering consciousness also have remarkable effects on improving senior students'mathematics epistemic beliefs.2. The teaching strategies above can improve students'mathematics epistemic beliefs, mainly means the remarkable improvement on the knowledge structure dimension and in the learning capability dimension.3. Using the innovative teaching strategies is effective to improve student's mathematics epistemic beliefs, creating question situations makes students feel the widely use of mathematics , thus building a safe learning environment, so there is no distance between students and mathematics. The students become the master of their learning, they can understand their real ideas, and learn to study, which can improve the students'mathematics knowledge and mathematics epistemic beliefs, meanwhile it can make students take part in maths learning more actively.4. Under the regulation of different teaching strategies above, the student academic record all has the different level improvement.On the base of the investigation conclusions, combined with the teaching experiences, the researcher put forward some teaching suggestions to the teachers: The teacher should fully realize the importance of mathematics epistemic beliefs, help the student recognize the bad influence of the wrong mathematics epistemic beliefs, thus, self-improve mathematics epistemic beliefs; At the same time, the teacher should reconsider their own mathematics epistemic beliefs constantly, guarantee the teaching environment has an positive influence on the students'mathematics epistemic beliefs.
