The Influence Of Error Climate On Mathematical Creativity: The Mediation Effect Of Achievement Goal And Mathematical Creative Self Efficacy

Mathematical creativity is particularly important for the innovative development of science and technology.However,some international tests and studies have shown that Chinese students have a high score in mathematics,but a low score in mathematical creativity.How to cultivate students’ mathematical creativity is a hot issue at present,which has attracted more and more attention.Error is the source of innovation and creation,especially in mathematics.A good classroom error climate may make students more daring to make mistakes,pursue a true understanding of knowledge,and then affect students’ achievement goals,thus improving mathematical creativity.At the same time,some studies have shown that creative self-efficacy is closely related to creativity.Based on this,this study starts with the error climate as an environmental variable,to explore its impact on mathematical creativity and examine the intermediary effect between achievement goals and mathematical creative self-efficacy.In this study,220 high school students were selected as subjects,and the translation adapted error climate scale,achievement goal scale,mathematical creativity self-efficacy scale and mathematical creativity test were used as research tools.Using independent sample t-test,confirmatory factor analysis,Bootstrap intermediary effect program test and other statistical methods,this paper comprehensively analyzes the relationship between error climate,achievement goal,mathematical creative self-efficacy and mathematical creativity,and the intermediary effect between achievement goal and mathematical creative self-efficacy.The study found that error climate has a significant positive impact on mathematical creativity,and both mastery goals and mathematical creative self-efficacy have a complete mediating effect between the fault-tolerant atmosphere and mathematical creativity.Further exploration found that mastery goals and mathematical creative self-efficacy have a chain mediating effect between the fault-tolerant atmosphere and mathematical creativity.Based on the discussion and analysis of the above research results,this study puts forward the following suggestions: First,teachers and students should work together to create a good error climate,and at the same time pay attention to the analysis of errors and learn from them.And teachers should guide students to set up correct achievement goals and pursue true understanding and mastery of knowledge.
