Analysis On Causes Of High School Biology Underachievement And Research Of Countermeasures

The aim of high school biology curriculum is to enhance students' biological science equipment. For this reason, it is crucial to strengthen biology instruction. However, nearly all schools exist biology under-achiever, seriously influencing upgrading the entire education quality. In order to promote overall development of the whole students, it is necessary to analyze the causes and students' mental health trouble which is brought about by biology underachievement and bring up homologous Countermeasures based the analysis. The research accords with the new curriculum's idea of facing the whole students. The research begins with the theory and explores the causes of high school biology underachievement practically. Moreover, the way based the exploration to solve the problem is advanced and the way is expected to produce fine further effect for high school biological education.According to the bibliography, the theory study is made from the aspects of the concept of underachievement, the present situation of research in and abroad, the appreciation of underachievement, the cause of underachievement and the Countermeasures of underachievement. The bibliography research offers reference for the research of high school biology underachievement.The questionnaire investigation is the main method. The investigation objects are 406 students from 6 high schools in Shanghai, including 3 exemplary high schools, 2 common high schools and 1 vocational high school. The circumstances of high school biology underachievement are investigated. The present situation of high school biology underachievement is known. The causes of high school biology underachievement is analyzed and the Countermeasures are brought up.The conclusions of the investigation are: (1) The phenomenon of high school biology underachievement appears in various schools and grades. The rate of high school biology underachievement decreases from exemplary high schools, common high schools to vocational high school and increases from grade 1, grade 2 to grade 3. (2) High school biology underachievement has nothing to do with students' objective condition of basic condition and has something to do with some aspects of studies background. The causes of high school biology underachievement are personal factor, environment factor and subject factor. Study situation, study motive, study strategy and study attitude are involved in personal factor. Living environment, relationship between the teacher and the students, relationship between students are involved in environment factor. Subject factor is decided by the status of biology subject.From the investigation above, following strategies are brought out: (1) improve biology study situation; (2) enhance biology study motive; (3) reform biology study strategy; (4) correct biology study attitude; (5) create fine living environment; (6) build up intimate relationship between the teacher and the students; (7) establish companionate relationship between students.
