小学生数学学习观调查研究

AN INVESTIGATION ON THE MATH CONCEPTIONS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS

采用开放题、多选题与单选题相结合的问卷调查方法,调查190名二、四、六年级学生的数学学习态度和数学学习观,结果表明:1)小学生普遍喜欢数学,并对自身的数学能力有信心,但这种积极态度随年级升高而逐渐下降,尤其是在四、六年级之间达到了显著性;2)小学生的数学知识性质观是倾向于建构性的,并随年级升高而显著提高,但总体上还是比较素朴、直观和肤浅的;3)小学生的数学学习过程观总体上并不十分明确,同时注重表层上的接受学习和深层上的主观参与。

The attitude to learning mathematics and the math pupils conceptions of 190 primary school pupils were investigated through a set of questionnaires. The results showed: 1) The primary school pupils liked mathematics and had self-efficacy for it; however, their attitude to mathematics went down graduallyas they moved to higher grades, and this change in attitude became evident between the 4th grade and the 6th grade. 2) Their conception of the nature of mathematics was basically constructivism-oriented, and was more and more significantly higher as they moved to higher grades, but their conception was totally naive, intuitive, and superficial. 3) Their conception of the process of learning mathematics was unclear, and they emphasized both classroom learning and active mental involvement.
