A Study On The Mathematics Divergent Thinking Ability Of Junior High School Students

Divergent thinking refers to a way of thinking that solves problems by finding answers through different angles and directions based on existing information.Many psychologists believe that divergent thinking is the main feature of creative thinking.Therefore,the ability of students to develop divergent thinking is also a way to cultivate creativity.In the context of the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination,due to the pressure of further studies,in the past few decades,China's secondary education has always been centered around the theme center of exam-oriented education.The resulting direct education phenomenon is that the teaching process pays special attention to the training of convergent thinking or aggregated thinking,but often ignores the training of divergent thinking.This situation is very common in middle school teaching,and it first appeared in junior high school mathematics teaching.Although this kind of teaching method can enable students to acquire the knowledge they have learned and improve their performance in a short period of time,it actually seriously hinders the cultivation of young people's innovative thinking ability.This will lead to the cultivation of most of the learning machines,not the society.Innovative talents needed.This article is based on the research of mathematics divergent thinking ability of junior high school students.Through the questionnaires and test paper surveys of students in different grades of junior high school,the collected data is analyzed,mainly related to the analysis of the correlation with mathematics scores.Analysis of differences with gender and grade.Inductive analysis of the development characteristics of the junior high school students' mathematical divergence thinking ability,and for the analysis of the status quo,give some points of advice.In the research process,methods such as literature analysis,survey,data analysis,and interview are mainly used.This paper uses three important characteristics of divergent thinking-fluency,flexibility,originality as indicators to set up questionnaires and test papers,a sample survey of three junior high school students.Because the survey object is the first key junior high school in the city,the research results show that the junior high school students in the survey have strong mathematical divergence thinking ability;among them,the mathematics score has a strong correlation with the divergent thinking ability.Good students,the more divergent thinking ability;the mathematics divergence thinking ability of male and female students is not significantly different;the divergent thinking ability of the first,second,third and third grades is on the rise,among which the third grade mathematics divergence thinking ability is the strongest.In view of the above conclusions,some suggestions for the development of mathematics divergent thinking ability of junior high school students are put forward:the cultivation of mathematics divergent thinking ability of junior high school students can not be relaxed,teachers should pay attention to the practice of setting up open exercises in teaching;Some special training courses of "one problem and multiple solutions";teachers should base themselves on four basics,read more famous books,enrich their own mathematics knowledge,so that they can base their already acquired knowledge and supplement more relevant knowledge in teaching,thus broadening students' Knowledge side.It is hoped that this research can provide reference for the mathematics teaching of junior high school students,and can improve the teaching methods according to the research results of this paper,thus helping to improve the mathematics divergence thinking ability of junior high school students.
