Investigation And Analysis Of Ordinary Middle School Mathematics Teachers' Knowledge Structure

The final purpose of education is for students' development. Teacher and his structure of knowledge affect not only the implementation of teaching but also the learning of students . What knowledge structure a teacher owns will have a great influence on students' future development. Along with further development of education reform and curriculum reform of new round in our country, they will face new problems and new challenges in teacher knowledge and teacher education.This study has used dada obtained from a survey of 94 mathematic teachers who teaching in junior middle school from three different departments in Beijing. The purpose of this study was to determine what problems the mathematic teachers have in their knowledge and analysis relative reasons.The result of this study has indicated that mathematic teathers in norminal school have many problems in their knowledge for impacting by many internal factors and external factors. 1.subject matter knowledge: (1) pedagogical content knowledge need to be strengthen futher (2) reserves of knowledge about new additional content in the new couse standard were not enough to make them teach effectively (3)knowledge about history and development of mathematic was in a serious shortage , many teachers have not pay enough attention to it. 2. conditional knowledge: teashers haven't master knowledge about pedagogy and psychology well and can't use them freely, they remain lack scientific understanding about students' phycically and mentally development and individual difference, theory about teaching and learning, assessment of math's study and so on. There haven't shaping up good atmosphere among teachers about using pedagogy and psychology to guide teaching practice. 3. practice knowledge (1) lay more stress on result but less on process (2) pay close attention to presupposition but ingnore generation (3) teachers have not yet adapted new teaching styles which advocated in new curriculum.Basing on the founding of this study , some suggestions for how to development mathematic teacher's knowledge structure were given at the end of this thesis.
