diplomsko delo

Abstract

Matematika je beseda, ki že sama po sebi pri marsikom vzbuja neprijetne občutke. Nekateri menijo, da je pomembna veda za življenje, da jo potrebujemo v vsakdanjiku, drugim pa predstavlja polno nerazumljivih pojmov, enačb, izrekov in definicij. V diplomskem delu želimo predstaviti dosedanja znanstvena spoznanja o odnosu učencev do matematike, zanimalo nas je tudi, kakšen odnos imajo do nje starši učencev in učitelji. V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela želimo predstaviti do sedaj izvedene raziskave in druga dela, ki se tičejo povezave odnosa do matematike med tremi ključnimi subjekti, in sicer učenci, starši in učitelji. Na kratko bomo opisali pouk matematike v prvih dveh triletjih, učni načrt in njegove cilje. Poseben razdelek diplomskega dela je namenjen dognanjem o odnosih in prepričanjih do matematike, kar predstavlja izhodišče za empirični del. V empiričnem delu je predstavljena raziskava, ki je bila izvedena na osnovnih šolah v mariborskem okolišu. Vzorec zajema učence razredne stopnje, natančno 3. in 5. razrede, njihove starše in učitelje. Zajetih je bilo šest osnovnih šol, osem vzorcev iz 5. razredov in sedem vzorcev iz 3. razredov, kar pomeni 15 učiteljev, 223 učencev in prav toliko staršev. Podatke smo zbrali z anketnih vprašalnikom, ki zajema vprašanja, vezana na odnos učencev do matematike. Rezultati so pokazali, da se učenci, ko razmišljajo o matematiki, večinoma počutijo sproščeno, prav tako so sproščeni njihovi starši in učitelji. Učenci razredne stopnje imajo dokaj pozitiven odnos do matematike, saj so se pogosteje strinjali s trditvami, ki so bile navedene. Dekleta imajo bistveno večjo anksioznost do matematike kot fantje. Prav tako so bolj samokritična, matematika se jih zdi manj pomembna kot fantom. Ugotovili smo tudi, da se učenci tretjega razreda matematiko učijo raje, zdi se jim bolj zanimiva kot učencem petega razreda. Rezultati so prav tako pokazali, da so starši povečini mnenja, da ima njihov otrok rad matematiko, večina jih je prepričanih, da se jo radi učijo in da jim ne dela problemov. Skratka, odnos do matematike je s strani staršev dokaj pozitiven. Prav tako je tudi z učitelji, prepričani so, da v vsakdanjem življenju vsakdo potrebuje matematiko, saj nas le-ta uči vztrajnosti in doslednosti. Strinjajo se s trditvijo, da učenci potrebujejo veliko vaje in da je matematika lahko zabavna.

Secondary title: THE ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS IN THE FIRST CYCLE OF BASIC EDUCATION, THEIR PARENTS AND TEACHERS TOWARDS MATHEMATICS
Secondary abstract: Mathematics is a word which in itself rises unpleasant feelings in many people. Some consider it to be important science in our daily lives, while for many it represents full of incomprehensible concepts, equations, theorems and definitions. In this thesis the aim is to present scientific findings on the relationship of students towards mathematics. We were also interested in students' parents and class teachers' attitudes towards mathematics. In the theoretical part of the thesis we want to present the research that has been done so far and other work that is concerned in relation to attitudes towards mathematics among the three key subjects in mathematics; students, parents and teachers. We will briefly describe the teaching of mathematics in the first two cycles of elementary school, the curriculum and its objectives. A special section is dedicated to the terms and beliefs in mathematics and it is a starting point for empirical work. In the empirical work the survey that was conducted at primary schools in the Maribor area is presented. The sample includes students of third and fifth class, their parents and their teachers. Six elementary schools have been included, eight samples of fifth class, and seven samples third class. which means fifteen teachers, two hundred and twenty-three students and the same number of parents. Data was collected with a questionnaire that covered issues related to the attitude of students towards mathematics. Data was then presented through diagrams and tables and interpreted. The results showed that students and also their parents and teachers feel generally relaxed when they think about mathematics. Students of first five classes have quite positive attitude towards mathematics, because they have more often agreed with statements that underline positive attitudes. It was found out that girls have a significantly higher anxiety towards mathematics than boys. They are also more self critical and mathematics is by them considered less important than it is for the boys. We also found out that third grade students seem to be more interested in learning mathematics than students in the fifth grade. The results also showed that parents are mostly of the opinion that their children like mathematics, that they like to learn mathematics and that they do not have problems with it. The attitude towards mathematics is quite positive from the side of parents and teachers. Teachers believe that mathematics is useful in everyday life because it teaches us persistence and consistency. They agree with the statement that in mathematics students need a lot of practise and that it can also be a lot of fun.
