Investigation Into The Teaching Of Function Concept In High Schools: From A Constructivism Perspective

Function concept is the core of high school mathematical teaching knowledge. However, it is common to adapt concept teaching approach of "One definition, three attentions", resulting in students' low level. Constructivism is the most influential teaching concept in the world, it not only pays special attention to students' study process, but also puts forwards the idea that practical sense is a positive constructivism based on the knowledge and experience that person has. Besides, it throws doubt on the traditional teaching theory and its development.Guided by the view of constructivism, based on some basic statistics from questionnaires and combined with my own teaching experience, the thesis uses modern educational research methods to do some research on the concept of teaching.First of all, the thesis emphasizes and analyzes the view of constructive studying and teaching. Study is the process of learners actively building their inner mental feature.The activity of teaching is outer condition constructed by teachers, helping students form the concept of constructivism through free activity.That is to achieve the relative combination about the teachers useful guiding and the students' freely construction by teaching and studying.Then, the thesis does some study towards the senior students' knowledge about mathematic concept and sums it up to know their present learned knowledge of it .Guided the constructivism ,the thesis also puts forwards the teaching approaches of senior mathematic concept, provides proper situation to help students form their constructive concept, offers chances to let them experience the process of mathematic concept's forming as well as constructive net, getting the same result towards mathematic concept by practicing exercises. Finally, the thesis gives some referred advice for our workmates in teaching by comparing, analyzing and researching on traditional mathematic concept teaching, according to the approaches mentioned above.Put constructivism into function concept ,and it will be beneficial to change the old situation that the students study inactivity,achieving the deep understanding on function concept.
