Students' Conception Of Mathematics. Started Investigation And Analysis

The research about mathematics view has increasingly become a hot issue of education workers'studies since the last century. Although there is not a consensus for "what is mathematics view", the importance of mathematics view is of no doubt.To some extent, mathematics view is someone's world outlook to the mathematics, what the mathematics view is, can produce his attitude of mathematics and his learning style.For example , if one thinks maths is extremely upset with practice part, then he will take wins uncounted applaud, Putting himself in piles of mathematics topic covered him. A persons mathematics view once formed, will be relatively stable mental system. Students at gread one who are in the turning period between primary school and junior middle school learning, their mathematics view state will inevitably have a positive or negative impact for the entire middle stage. On the other hand, mathematics view is not static for all the time, through some specific methods of the mathematics view guidance, student can improvement their mathematics view.It is benfit to the development of students'learning and the optimization of teaching by analyzing and learning about the mathematica views of junior high school students.This reaearch has investigated 474 students in grade 7 from ShangHai and ShiJiazhuang by using self‐designed mathematics view questionnaire, which contains three demesions: mathematics attitude and experience view, mathematical knowledge view, and mathematics learning process view.In order to analysis the basic situation of students in grade 7,the gender differences ,the region otherness,and the correlation of mathematics view and mathematical academic performance. Further more, the author has made a case studies with a student (Co)in grade 7.The results are as follows:(1)Through the survey, we found that junior high school mathematics view tend to dynamic,which mixed with static mathematics view,such as mathematics is the combination of the unchangable truth. mathematics view of 7 graders are of uncertainty,it is suitable to develop students'mathematics view when the students are in grade 7.(2) There are not differences between the students in ShangHai and ShiJiazhuang on whole,although the score of ShangHai is higher than that of ShiJiazhuang's. Specifically, Statistically significant is exist in the demetion of mathematics attitude and experience view,but not existing in the other two demetions.(3) Boys get higher scores than the girls in the demetion of mathematics attitude and experience view, while in the other two demetions,the situation is the opposite,the grls'scores are higher than the boys'. But overall, students mathematics view does not exist obvious difference between the genders.(4) We make a correlation analysis between each students mathematics view score and his midterm math grades . Students mathematics view score and math scores have strong positive correlation, that is the student whose mathematics view are more scientific,will gets the more splendid achievement in mathematics.At last , the author do a case studies in order to prove students'mathmatics view ,which can give some suggestions based on the study.
