Research On The Influencing Factors Of Mathematical Modeling Ability Of Mathematics Majors In Normal Universities

Mathematical modeling can build a bridge between mathematical theory and solving practical problems,which is of great significance to the cultivation of students’ logical thinking,abstract thinking and innovation ability.Therefore,colleges and universities attach great importance to the cultivation of students’ mathematical modeling ability.Reviewing the existing research,researchers’ research on the modeling ability of college students mainly includes the concept and function of modeling,existing problems in the modeling process,and promotion approaches,among which promotion approaches are the focus of most scholars’ research.For how to cultivate students’ mathematical modeling ability,scholars and experts also put forward strategies and methods from different angles to cultivate students’ mathematical modeling ability,mainly focusing on the infiltration of mathematical modeling ideas,curriculum construction,students’ ability literacy,and building learning platform.For the research methods,most scholars are in the theoretical discussion,no empirical research,no data to prove their views,the implementation effect is unknown,the overall persuasion of the article is poor.Based on this,this paper will use structural equation method to analyze the influencing factors and paths of mathematical modeling ability,and provide a suitable and feasible reference scheme for the cultivation of students’ mathematical modeling ability in Colleges and universities.In this paper,literature method,questionnaire method,structural equation method are used to study the problem.The first step is to consult a large number of documents and summarize the problems related to mathematical modeling.In the relevant research,according to the concept of mathematical modeling,the role of mathematical modeling,the problems in the process of mathematical modeling,and the ways to cultivate the ability of mathematical modeling are summarized;the second step is to select the influencing factors,make assumptions,draw the theoretical path model,and prepare the questionnaire;the third step is to randomly distribute the questionnaire to the students who participate in the National College Students’ mathematical modeling competition;the fourth step find out the papers of the students who participate in the questionnaire survey,and ask the professional mathematical modeling teachers to grade thepapers and prepare the score table;the fifth step assign the scores to the results of the questionnaire,and import the basic data into SPSS software in combination with the score table of modeling;the sixth step is to use structural equation method to further study the data and make analysis and conclusion;the seventh step is to explain the results of data,find out the influencing factors and paths of mathematical modeling ability and answer the research questions;the eighth step is to further classify the influencing factors and use structural equation to further analyze;the ninth step,based on the analysis of the results,the author answers the questions in this paper,and combined with the actual teaching work,this paper puts forward an effective way to cultivate the ability of mathematical modeling.The conclusion of this study is as follows: there are six main influencing factors of mathematical modeling ability,including students’ interest in modeling activities,students’ basic understanding of mathematical modeling process,teachers’ requirements for students’ computer ability,and teachers’ explanation of actual modeling cases.All of the above four factors have a positive impact on the ability of mathematical modeling,among which students’ basic understanding of the process of mathematical modeling is the most influential factor.In addition,students often participate in mathematical modeling competitions and teachers often evaluate the ability of modeling.These two factors have a negative impact on the ability of mathematical modeling.Based on the above analysis,colleges and universities can cultivate students’ mathematical modeling ability from the following aspects: first,teachers should strengthen the learning of students’ basic mathematical knowledge;second,teachers should improve students’ understanding of the basic process of mathematical modeling;third,teachers should improve students’ interest in mathematical modeling activities;fourth,teachers should improve the requirements of students’ computer ability;fifth,teachers should increase the explanation of actual modeling cases in the classroom;sixth,teachers should make the number of mathematical modeling competitions as appropriate;seventh,teachers should make the number of evaluation of modeling level as appropriate.
