The Self-Monitoring Approach In Maths Learning Processes

How to effectively cultivate the learning abilities of students has become a subject of major concern in today's maths education circles. After re-examining the mathematics learning processes, we would argue that the fostering of students' self-monitoring abilities is the key to improving their learning abilities. This essay expounds the structure and the functioning mode of self-regulated learning abilities in maths learning processes. In the light of the theory of self-monitoring learning ability cultivation in maths learning processes and Zimmerman's cyclic model of self-regulated learning, the author had undertaken several practical experiments in order to explore the possibilities of improving students' maths learning abilities through training of self-monitoring abilities. Analysing the outcomes of those experiments, we can draw the following conclusion:l)The training of self-monitoring abilities does help to improve students' maths learning abilities;2)Self-evaluation plays a key role in fostering the self-monitoring learning abilities. Self-regulated learning abilities in maths learning processes;3) The management of self-monitoring ability training in teaching will undoubtedly become the guarantee to the successful cultivation of it.4)The communication between members of a maths study group is the driving force for the improvement of self-monitoring learning abilities.
