A Research On Directing Senior High School Students To Self Study In Mathematics Class

The traditional teaching mode with the aim of knowledge accumulation has failed to meet the requirement of this age, and the new course reform advocates that classroom teaching should "take the development of students as the foremost". Classroom teaching should be focused not only on students'command of knowledge and skills, but also the learning process, during which they acquire the capability of self-access learning, which is beneficial to them in all their lives. This helps to lay the foundation for future development in the society and lifelong learning. The main battle to cultivate the capacity of self-access learning is the classroom. Therefore, this paper performs a research on how to guide the senior high school students to self study in mathematics class. Chapter I explains the background, purpose and methods of this research. Chapterâ…¡is a summary of self-access learning. On the basis of literature search, related theories such as the definition and characteristics of self-access learning, theoretical basis of self-access learning and factors that have an effect on self-access learning are explained through comparison and conclusion. Chapter III is a research and analysis of self-access learning ability of students in senior high school student. Over 500 students in Nanning No.2 Middle School are selected to do the research on status of self-access learning capacity, and through statistical analysis, the following conclusions are made:(1) As a whole, senior high school students have medium capability of learning autonomy; (2)In the research on learning autonomy of senior high school students, the scores of learning environment are relatively low, and learning methods and learning time are at a medium or lower level; (3) Senior high school students have quite strong motivation to learn, and their autonomy in choosing learning materials is quite high. The main reasons for low self-access learning capacity are as follows:With traditional teaching mode, teachers fail pay enough attention to self-access learning of students, and student lack effective learning strategies, so they depend a lot on their teachers. In Chapter IV Research and Practice on Developing Self-access Learning ability of Senior High School Students, basic strategies to improve students'self-access learning ability are discussed:to stimulate learning motivation and cultivate their interest in self-access learning; to improve teaching methods and direct students to teach themselves; to optimize learning strategies and improve their self-access learning ability; and make full use of environment and resources to accelerate development of self-access learning. A teaching mode to boost self-access learning is constructed:in order to cultivate the capacity of self-access learning, students should start from making preparations before class; student-oriented teaching steps should be designed to advance the development of self-access learning ability from different perspectives; and resources outside class shall be fully used to expand the space of self-access learning. In the aspect of teaching practice, two classes in Nanning No.2 Middle School are selected as the object of the experiment. An experiment on teaching is performed in the experimental class and the comparative class throughout a semester using the method of comparison. Integrating observations and interviews, survey in the form of questionnaire and statistical analysis are performed correspondingly, and then the conclusion of this experiment is made:self-access learning ability has significant correlation with achievement in mathematics learning, and through using the teaching mode of self-access learning, self-access learning ability of students and their mathematics results can be effectively improved. Chapter V Conclusion and Reflections explains the conclusions, enlightenment and suggestions on further research through this research. Both students and I learn a lot from the research and practice on the teaching mode with developing students'self-learning ability as the teaching objective. Many students have learnt how to perform self-access research, self-presentation and cooperative discussions. They form a good atmosphere of having discussions on learning problems in the class, with higher interest, optimized thinking quality and better self-access learning ability. During this period, I read a lot of books on pedagogy and psychology. As a result, I have obtained new teaching concepts, which enables me to stand on a higher position to manage the work of teaching.
