Qualitative Research Of High School Girls Numeral-form Combination Problem-solving Based On Multiple Intelligences Theory

The high school girls is a group of strong image thinking ability and poor abstract thinking ability. Numeral-form combination is an important thinking way of solving high school math problems, with its visual image, easy to accept and other characteristics are exactly suitable for the thinking ability of high school girls.Although still young, the using of emerging multiple intelligences theory has received a long widespread concern and in-depth research in the field of mathematics. In1979, Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University developmental psychology by "Project Zero" assuming "the nature of human potential and development" project as a platform, on the basis of research in philosophy, aesthetics, psychology, education, art and other disciplines created multiple intelligences theory. Gardner updated the definition of intelligent three times in the process of time, and through the research and exploration he developed the initial seven kinds of intelligences into now eight and a half kind of intelligence:linguistic intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, body-kinesthesia intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, self-awareness intelligence, naturalist intelligence, as well as presence intelligent what exists as a half of an intelligent.Based on personal experience, the author under the guidance of multiple intelligences theory, using qualitative research methods to explore the process that the high school girls use the Numeral-form combination to solve mathematical problems and their use of intelligence and intelligent combination in this progress, and trying to give some methods and suggestions on enhancing the high school girls’ability of solving problem by Numeral-form combination which based on multiple intelligences theory.The test topics comes from the curve equation part of high school math textbook examples and exercises which close to the mathematical learning of the high school girls, and they are suitable for the level of high school girls’ability of solving mathematical problem. Research interview outline developed on the basis of Polya’s "How to problem-solving table" and a mathematical problem solving cognitive model of Yu Ping. The classification of encoding theme is based on the composition of multiple intelligences, but existence intelligent which has not yet been fully established is not explored in the study. According to the condition of the ability of high school girls using Numeral-form combination to solve problems and all kinds of intelligent checklist which recorded in "multiple intelligence teaching and learning strategy" wrote by the American Linda Campbell, Bruce Campbell, Dee Dickinson and translated by Huo Liyan, Sally and other participators set the intelligence research and the standard of appraisal. Research chose two ordinary science classes of an ordinary high school which have representative and research purposes as the main research sites, choosing six girls in the thirties of the two classes as the object of study, and six study objects are divided into good, general and bad three levels in accordance with the use of the Numeral-form combination, mainly by one-to-one interviews, combined with the observation, physical collection and other ways to research and discuss that high school girls how to use the Numeral-form combination solving mathematical problem with multiple intelligences theory.Through the comparison of six subjects at all levels within and between all levels of comparison, study concluded the process and the performance of high school girls using the Numeral-form combination method to solve mathematical problems, and find the high school girls to solve the Numeral-form combination problems using the naturalist intelligence, linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, body-kinesthesia intelligence, a combination of self-awareness intelligence and interpersonal intelligence.The study showed that high school girls selecting the way of Numeral-form combination to solve mathematical problems require certain conditions:the topic itself has a characteristic, acceptability, obstacles, inquiry and other characteristics. Thorough and well explain of the Numeral-form combination method and exemplary use by the teacher, high school girls in-depth understanding of the Numeral-form combination method, sufficient knowledge, strategies and skills for the Numeral-form combination method. The study of the different levels of understanding for the Numeral-form combination and its role are different. The high school girls who use Numeral-form combination better can clearly point out that graphics can help to describe the contents of the title and relations between them, and can even reflect the content and the relationship that the title had not, so that a better understanding of the subject, clear thinking, problem-solving. The high school girls who use the Numeral-form combination generally or very bad are not so clear and profound to Numeral-form combination and its effects.High school girls used naturalist intelligence, linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, body-kinesthesia intelligence, a combination of self-awareness intelligence and interpersonal intelligence in the process of using Numeral-form combination to solve problems. Each kind of intelligence can be acquired develop by situational creation and methods used, and then can enhance the Numeral-form combination of the high school girls problem-solving ability. In the process of qualitative research, the requirement that research must be in the context of assessment methods in the natural context, and this with the theory of multiple intelligences in the natural contextual evaluation makes sense with the perfect fit, which makes the author on the contextual evaluation give more attention. From the origin of contextual evaluation, meaning and the basic features to start, this paper probes into the effective contextual evaluation method, and explains contextual evaluation can improve the Numeral-form combination problem-solving ability. Intelligence training and the use of contextual evaluation is an effective way to enhance the high school girls’ability to solve Numeral-form combination problems, it is also a new concept in mathematics education and practice field.
