The Study On The Mathematics Learning Strategies For Senior High School Learners

Because of the development of social information and globalization of economy, everyone faces the challenges of the era of knowledge economy. Undoubtedly, learning , also, becomes a task of one's life. With the development of deepening of quality education in our country, teachers of maths follow with interest the problem of teaching students ways of learning maths , and strategies of learning by means of improving teaching quality of maths , and lightening the learning burden of students. And it is in the very background that the author makes a study of the mathematics learning strategies.1. In the first part of the dissertation, the author wants to make it imperative that he deliberates the mathematics learning strategies in senior high schools on the basis of thoroughly analyzing shortcomings of traditional class reaching of maths , people's prejudice in learning maths and the need of the new round in reforming foundational curriculum of senior high schools . At the same time, the author focuses on the significance of studying students' learning maths from the following aspects: 1) the demands of quality education and lifelong education, 2) the improvement of learning situation of students and, 3) the heightening of teaching quality.2. Regard to the second and third parts of the dissertation, the author has done thorough research on the origin of learning strategies and the current situation of mathematics learning strategies by using mathematical literature on the basis of probing related materials of mathematics learning strategies. In order to satisfy the demands of the further research, the author has presented the definitions of learning strategies, and the concepts of mathematics learning strategies. Besides, the author has made a study of the constituents of mathematics learning strategies and their characteristics.3. The fourth and fifth parts consist of the firsthand materials about the mathematics learning strategies of the senior high school students ,obtained through questionnaires in five schools in Dingxi and neighbouring counties after the author referred to and used some of literature concerning mathematics learning strategies,and on this base, according to the characteristics of mathematics learning of senior high school students, edited and finally formed questionaires on the mathematics learning methods of the senior high school students, on mathematics metacognition. On the practical reseach,supported by the modern cognitive psychology, together with the author's own experience in many year's teaching ,a few principles are sumed up for optmizing mathematics learning strategies of senior high school students: student-centered conception,a teacher acting as a guide, opportune feedback, reasonable levels,and step-by-step approach. Three measures are recommended and fully expressed to better the learning strategies of the senior high school students: 1)reform the traditional approach ,advocate intercommunication among teachers and students,and encourage independent learners, 2)make use of every possible opportunity in class to impart basic mathematics learning strategies, and3)strengthen cultivation of metacognition of learners,and improve the students' self-consciousness and self-monitoring in their mathematics learning.
