The Research And Practice To Improve The Vocational Students' Mathematical Operation Skill

Mathematical calculation skill is one of the three basic mathematical skills. It is safe to say where there are mathematical questions, there are mathematical calculations. And mathematical calculation skill forms the basis for the application of mathematics in any other field. Therefore, improving students' mathematical calculation skill will provide a solid foundation for better mathematics scores and higher creative abilities. As a result, it's of great significance to exploring the ways and approaches that can improve students' mathematical calculation skills.Adopting comparative and experimental analytic methods integrating theory with practice, this thesis, based on former researches, studies ways that can improve vocational students' calculation skills from the following four aspects.Firstly, by discussing skills, mathematical skills and mathematical calculation skills, we analyze the connotation of mathematical calculation skill and its relationship to mathematical knowledge and mathematical ability. Then, explained are the roles and functions of mathematical calculation skill in mathematics and other fields. We think both the connotation and denotation of mathematical calculation skill are very clear and the roles it plays are very important.Secondly, adopting the comparative analytic method which includes a questionnaire survey and a conversational survey, this part profoundly analyzes the current situation of vocational school students' mathematical calculation skills and its reasons. We think the current situation is not satisfactory. Because they are not interested, don't acquire good study habits with poor foundations, or are lack of practice and initiative. They have little descriptive knowledge of mathematics, inaccurate or even mistaken discernment of basic mathematics knowledge, poor ability of generalizing, and even psychological blocks. And all these result in their poor mathematical calculation skills.Thirdly, according to theories of stratification of intelligence skill studies and information processing psychology, we adopt the experimental method to study the effect of proper basic practice and necessary reviewing on mathematics operation skill. And we draw the conclusion that proper basic practice and necessary reviewing are crucially important to improve students' mathematical calculation skills.Fourthly, with systematic and profound researches, this author believes that, in order to improve students' mathematical calculation skills, mathematics teachers must consider each student's concrete situation of mathematical calculation skill and their causes. Also teachers must pay attention to reviewing and guidance, to the explanation of basic concepts and reasonable organization of exercises and so on. Only in this way can be effectively improved the students' mathematical calculation skills. Furthermore these inspirations have general guiding significance to mathematics teachers.Meanwhile, this thesis still has apparent limits which need to be studied in the future.
