This paper takes the middle school math teacher as the main object of investigation,and divides it into two types: field-dependent and field-independent,which are based on different cognitive styles.Using qualitative classroom observation methods and quantitative questionnaires to compare their teaching behaviors.This paper compares and studies teachers' classroom speech acts,classroom questioning behaviors,classroom feedback behaviors,and teaching aid display behaviors,analyzing the difference.This study found that in terms of speech behavior,field-independent teachers are more inclined to describe a large number of examples and details in the classroom than field-dependent teachers;field-dependent teachers will briefly describe the content of teaching in relation to field independent teachers.Use and highlight the difficulties of this lesson.The behavior of classroom feedback,field-independent teachers pay more attention to teaching students' learning strategies and thinking methods than field-dependent teachers,and provide timely feedback to students' questions and answers.Field-dependent teachers are more independent than field-dependent teachers.Teachers pay more attention to students' understanding,give them help during class discussions,conduct various forms of rewards and punishments,and move around to participate in discussions.The behavior of classroom question,compared with field-dependent teachers field-independent teachers will guide students to discuss issues in a timely manner;field-dependent teachers will ask students to answer questions independently,and limit students' time to answer questions.In the display of teaching aids,field-dependent teachers are more inclined to use multimedia.What differs from previous research results are: In terms of classroom examples,predecessor research results indicate that field-independent teachers like to quote a large number of examples.Make it easy for students to ignore the focus.The results of this survey show that both field-dependent and field-independent teachers have a relatively low frequency of cited references.In classroom feedback,field-dependent teachers have a high rate of feedback to students during teaching.In classroom questions,field-dependent teachers limit the students' time to answer questions,and field-independent teachers prefer students to discuss issues.Through analysis,teachers will change some teaching behaviors according to the accumulation of teaching experience,and will choose the teaching behavior according to the specific conditions of the students,the content of the teaching and the teaching conditions,thus resulting in differences compared with the previous research results.
