An Empirical Study On The Strategies Of Improving Senior One Students' Sense Of Self-efficacy In Mathematical Learning

Sense of self-efficacy in mathematical learning is individuals in the process of mathematics learning,whether we can use master basic math knowledge and skills to solve specific mathematical situations,is a measurement of the degree of confidence on their own mathematical ability and behavior.The promotion and cultivation of self-efficacy in mathematical leaning has a great meaning to the cultivation of students' good emotions,attitudes and ethical values.The article adopted quantitative and qualitative methods and a mixture of Excel,Matlab7.1,SPSS19.0 data processing software and so on.Through questionnaires survey and case interview for the research of Senior one students' sense of self-efficacy found that the level of senior one students' self-efficacy below average which is not optimistic,and there is the difference between boys and girls where generally the boys' is higher than girls'.Accordingly to the result of current situation and actual mathematics teaching has proposed the strategy of improving sense of self-efficacy in mathematical learning which should be mainly from paying attention to the basis,standard guidance,improving the operation of sense of self-efficacy;hierarchical teaching and creating atmosphere to improve the sense of self-efficacy of ability of thinking;arousing intuition and guarding structure to improve the sense of self-efficacy of space imagination;using four steps to solve the question step by step to improve the sense of self-efficacy of the ability of solving problems.Improving sense of self-efficacy in mathematical learning which should be mainly from strengthening learning motivation and cultivating the independence of thinking and from positive appraisal,positive attribution for science,creating a harmonious atmosphere to conquer the anxiety and imparting learning strategies these four ways.For the empirical study of developing strategies,comparing pretest data with post test data has got theconclusion that the improving strategies of sense of self-efficacy for senior one students can effectively develop the general level of sense of self-efficacy in mathematical learning.
