数学自学能力是指学生在掌握了一定的数学知识与技能的基础上,在教师的指导下,自主阅读数学教材或有关参考资料,独立思考或解答有关习题的能力。联合国教科文组织早就指出:“未来的文盲,不是不识字的人,而是不会学习的人。”培养学生的数学自学能力是帮助学生增长数学知识的重要方法,是数学教师的基本职责,是数学教学过程中实施素质教育的必然要求。笔者从事初中数学教学多年,曾在在培养学生数学自学能力方面进行过以下尝试。一、培养学生课前预习的习惯,提高阅读理解能力初中学生已具备一定的数学知识和技能,要不断实现其知识的增长和能力的提高,必须重视培养学生的数学阅读能力,教会他们阅读数学教材的方法,养成独立思考、自 Mathematics self-learning ability refers to the students mastered a certain degree of mathematical knowledge and skills, based on the teacher’s guidance, the independent reading of mathematics textbooks or related reference materials, independent thinking or answer the ability of the exercises. UNESCO has pointed out long ago: “The illiterate in the future is not illiterate people but people who can not learn.” Developing students’ mathematics self-learning ability is an important way to help students to increase their knowledge of mathematics. Basic duties are the inevitable requirements of carrying out quality education in the process of mathematics teaching. I engaged in junior high school mathematics teaching for many years, had in the cultivation of students self-learning ability of mathematics had the following attempts. First, to develop the habit of pre-lesson preparation for students to improve reading comprehension Junior high school students already have some knowledge and skills in mathematics, to continue to increase their knowledge and ability to improve, we must attach importance to developing students’ ability to read mathematics, teaching them to read mathematics Teaching methods, develop independent thinking, since
