Research On Mathematics Learning Style Of High School Students

With the deepening of the new curriculum reform,people pay more and more attention to autonomy,cooperative and exploration-based learning styles.The transformation of students' mathematics learning styles has become the focus of the new curriculum reform.The diversification of mathematics learning style is one of the important objectives of the new curriculum reform in China.Based on the theory of learning styles and the characteristics of mathematics,this thesis divides learning styles into five dimensions(heteronomy-autonomy,individualcooperation,acceptance-exploration,machinery-meaning,shallow-depth)and takes them as a framework.Combined with the theory of Goodlad's hierarchy of curriculum,this thesis studies the mathematics learning styles of Grade 10 students from three aspects: the mathematics learning styles in curriculum standards(syllabus)and teaching materials,the mathematics learning styles in classroom teaching,and the mathematics learning styles in students' daily learning by using literature analysis,classroom observation,questionnaire survey,and case interview,and draws the following conclusions.(1)The syllabus and curriculum standards have made clear advocacy and requirements for mathematics learning styles,in which the syllabus of mathematics learning styles is relatively simple and has obvious limitations;The mathematics learning styles in the curriculum standards are mainly autonomy,cooperation and exploration,and other dimensions are also involved.(2)The textbook of the latest edition are involved in the five dimensions of learning,in which inquiry learning accounts for the largest proportion and cooperative learning accounts for the least.(3)High school mathematics classroom teacher-student interaction is frequent,the overall teaching is given priority to with knowledge,and lack of guidance for mathematics learning styles.(4)High school students' mathematics learning styles both in class and after class are showing a trend towards diversification.In the classroom,students are more inclined to reception learning and inquiry learning,while after-school students' mathematical learning styles show the characteristics of diversified combinations.(5)There is a significant correlation between mathematical achievement and learning styles in some dimensions;Male and female students have different performance in each dimension of learning styles,and there are significant differences in some dimensions.There is a significant correlation between some dimensions of mathematics learning.(6)Students' different attitudes towards mathematics learning will lead to different choices of mathematics learning styles.Based on the research conclusions,suggestions are put forward from three perspectives.From the perspective of textbook use,it is suggested that teachers should strengthen their understanding of the new edition of textbooks;use new textbooks from the whole;Strengthen the teaching evaluation reflection consciousness.From the perspective of teaching,it is suggested that teachers should change their educational concepts and improve their own quality.Teachers should cultivate students' interest in mathematics learning and make them happy to learn.On the other hand,teachers should combine specific teaching contents to optimize students' mathematics learning styles.From the perspective of students' learning,it is suggested that students should consciously improve their interest in mathematics learning and the ability of various mathematics learning methods.
