A Study On The Application Of Situational Teaching To The Development Of Mathematical Analogical Reasoning Ability Of Large Class Children

Situational teaching, which has always been one of the core issues teaching reform. Regardless of primary and secondary school or kindergarten, many teachers have conducted in-depth exploration of the teaching practice. In the exploration of situational teaching in primary and secondary, they have made some achievements, but in the field of early childhood education, the outcome is minimal. Situational teaching is also called one kind of anchored instruction, which is based on cognitive theory and constructivist theory. It means in the progress of teaching, according to the teaching objective, the teacher should set closely related to student life situations form the knowledge and experience of reality stimulate the student’s desire for knowledge and enthusiasm for learning with the dialogue, ask questions, games as such means. Learn to grasp the new knowledge in a happy psychological environment. Taday, people strongly advocate quality education and comprehensive education. Situational teaching as an effective way of teaching more and more attention by the educators and teachers, especially in kindergarten teaching. Because situatitional teaching in line with the characteristics of early childhood cognitive devolopment, especially in young children mathematics cognitive characteristics. So it is a way of teaching kindergarten teaching is necessary to promote. In this paper, the author aims to developing children’s mathematical analogical reasoning ability in situational teaching.Thesis is divided into three parts. The first part mainly uses literature analysis method. It explores the development situation, basic connotation and the current research at home and abroad of situational teaching firstly. Then it descirble the theoretical basis of this research, including basic theory of situational teaching and the basic theory of math analogical reasoning ability. The second part is the experimental part. Mathematical reasoning ability include classic analogical reasoning ability and analogical problem solving. Classic analogical reasoning ability test check tool is based on Xu Xiuwei (2003), Ge Zhiyun (1985) and Richland’s(2006) check tool, analogical problem solving ability test is adapted from the Luchins’s (1942) "classic tank" problem. Explore the impact of situational teaching to children mathmatics analogical reasoning ability in the context of mathematics experimental teaching of Ha Le. The basic assumption is that whether to adopt situational teaching has great influence on children’s mathematics reasoning ability. And to validate this assumption. The third part is the conclusion. There are two conclusions. The first is that situational teaching significant impact on the children’s development of mathematical analogy reasoning ability. The second is that traditional teaching no significant effect on the children’s development of mathematical analogy reasoning ability. Finaly, make a reason analysis and appropriate teaching suggestions.
