As a basic subject,mathematics has always had a very important position and role.As far as national development is concerned,mathematics can predict national wealth.The development of mathematics is also related to social and economic well-being.The success of mathematics is related to students' personal advancement and future development.Therefore,in the context of the current education reform,how to improve students' learning and increase mathematics academic achievement is a common concern of students,parents and teachers.People are paying more and more attention to the factors that affect high school students' mathematics academic achievement.Students' mathematics academic achievement is the performance of their learning situation.Researching the factors that affect it can help improve mathematics academic achievement.Therefore,finding out the factors that affect students' mathematics academic achievement and understanding its mechanism will help improve students' academic performance.There are many benefits to improving the quality of teaching.Looking back at the existing research,researchers' research on high school students' mathematics academic achievement mainly includes two major aspects: influencing factors and ways of improvement,among which influencing factors are the focus of most scholars' research.Regarding the influencing factors of high school students' mathematics academic achievement,from the literature,experts and scholars have studied from different angles,mainly focusing on the four major aspects of student factors,teacher factors,school factors and family factors,and made targeted suggestions for improvement.Only a few scholars have done research on the influence path between factors.Regarding research methods,most scholars are conducting theoretical discussions,and have not taken empirical research,and there is no data to support their views,and most of the researches are relatively one-sided,with different conclusions,and there are many gaps.Based on this,this article will use the structural equation method to give a quantitative analysis of the factors and paths influencing high school students' algebra achievement,and provide a suitable and feasible reference plan for improving high school students' algebra achievement.This article mainly uses literature analysis method,questionnaire survey method,structural equation method and so on to carry out research on the problem.The research sequence of this article is as follows: firstly,search from the CNKI database,and sort out the research on the factors affecting the mathematics academic achievement of middle school students,and summarize the existing influencing factors.Secondly,the questionnaire is compiled based on the influencing factors summarized,and the high school mathematics teacher is taken as the survey object,and the important factors affecting the achievement of high school students in algebra are obtained.Continue to compile questionnaires based on the influencing factors obtained from the above survey to investigate students' learning and mental states in different aspects.Once again combined with the students' mid-term mathematics academic achievements,import basic data into AMOS software,use structural equation method to study,analyze the main influencing factors of high school students' algebra achievement and the relationship between the factors;finally,based on the conclusions,combined with actual teaching work,put forward high strategies to improve the achievement of Mesozoic algebra.The main conclusions drawn in this article are as follows:After investigating teachers and students,based on the structural equation model research,it is concluded that there are 10 main influencing factors of high school students' algebra achievement,including: mathematics interest,learning strategies,thinking style,mathematics anxiety,learning motivation,problem-solving ability,academic mood,self-efficacy,selective attention and teacher teaching the way.There are 7 direct influencing factors of high school students' algebra achievement,including: mathematics interest,learning strategies,thinking style,mathematics anxiety,learning motivation,problem-solving ability and selective attention.Among them,the most influential factors are mathematics interest,learning strategies and math anxiety.There are three indirect factors influencing high school students' algebra achievement,including academic emotions,self-efficacy and teachers' teaching methods.Among them,self-efficacy and teachers' teaching methods have a higher degree of influence.Therefore,there are five most important factors influencing high school students' algebra career achievement,namely: mathematics interest,learning strategies,mathematics anxiety,self-efficacy,and teacher teaching methods.There is an intermediary relationship between the influencing factors,and the specific influencing paths are: academic mood-mathematics anxiety-algebra achievement;self-efficacy-mathematics interest-algebra achievement;self-efficacy-learning strategy-algebra achievement;self-efficacy-thinking style-algebra achievement;self-efficacy-mathematics anxiety-algebra achievement;self-efficacy-learning motivation-algebra achievement;self-efficacy-problem solving ability-algebra achievement;self-efficacy-selective attention-algebra achievement;teacher's teaching method-learning strategy-algebra achievement;teacher's teaching method-thinking style-algebra achievement;teacher's teaching method-learning motivation-algebra achievement;teacher's teaching method-problem solving ability-algebra achievement.Based on the above research,combined with the current teaching practice,this article believes that the current high school students' algebra achievement can be improved from the following aspects: firstly,high school math teachers should pay attention to cultivating students' interest in algebra;secondly,high school math teachers should help students form good algebra learning strategies;thirdly,high school math teachers should help students overcome anxiety about algebra learning;fourthly,high school math teachers should help students develop a sense of self-efficacy in algebra learning;fifthly,high school mathematics teachers should optimize their algebra classroom teaching methods.
