Research On The Cultivation Strategy Of Divergent Thinking In Mathematics For Junior High School Students From The Perspective Of Multiple Representation Variation

Divergent thinking refers to a thinking mode in which the brain can find solutions to problems from multiple angles and directions when facing problems.Divergent thinking affects students’ creative thinking and innovative ability.Mathematics core literacy also clearly requires mathematics teachers to cultivate students’ innovative thinking ability,independent thinking and problem-solving ability.However,today’s education in China is still based on exam-oriented education,ignoring the cultivation of students’ practical ability and innovative consciousness,which seriously hinders the quality development of students.Variant teaching is a traditional teaching method in mathematics teaching in China,which can promote students’ deep understanding of knowledge.Multiple representation is a research hotspot in western mathematics education.It can effectively promote students’ thinking transformation in teaching and lay a good foundation for the development of students’ thinking.Both of them are of great help to students’ mathematical understanding and thinking development,and are more conducive to promoting students’ divergent thinking.Therefore,the theme of "research on the training strategy of junior high school students’ divergent thinking in mathematics from the perspective of multiple representation variants" was determined.First of all,through literature collation and analysis,we have a deep understanding of the concept connotation and theoretical basis of multiple representation and its variants,and analyze the characteristics of students’ mathematical thinking development under the multiple representation variants,and design the student test paper and compile the teacher interview outline with the thinking characteristics as the dimension;Secondly,carry out the test of the current situation of students’ divergent thinking level,and find out the possible problems in the cultivation of students’ divergent thinking in the four modules of junior high school mathematics: number and algebra,figure and geometry,statistics and probability,synthesis and practice according to the analysis of the test results and teacher interviews.Then,we carried out theoretical research on "multiple representation variants",and based on the theoretical research,we built a mathematical divergent thinking training model of junior high school students in the perspective of multiple representation variants,which includes four modules: number and algebra,figure and geometry,statistics and probability,synthesis and practice.Then,based on the teaching model,the author puts forward the divergent thinking training strategies corresponding to the four modules;Finally,in order to verify the rationality of the teaching model and the effectiveness of teaching strategies,a semester of teaching experiment research was carried out.The research results showed that the results of the experimental class were significantly higher than those of the control class,and the teaching countermeasures were further improved according to the experimental results.
