Recent studies say that in order to enhance the child's ability in mathematics could only with high motivation and learning strategies of good.
Kou Murayama is the lead researcher from the University of California, Los Angeles said, "The major determinants of growth achievement math skills not on how smart your child but how motivated they are and how they learn. Fact of motivation in the child encourages achievement growth in math skills long term "
Researchers claim to not be surprised if your child math is often overwhelmed by the course consists of symbols and rules that are difficult conceptualized. "The strategy to study mathematics different from other subjects, mathematics because it contains language that is totally different from the usual facing children in their daily lives," said Murayama.
The symbols and rules that exist in a difficult mathematics conceptualized by children often make children become overwhelmed and bored.
The research was carried out in Germany for 6 years with a number of subjects 3,500 students grade 5-10. Level of intelligence, level of motivation, and learning strategies to be the focus of research participants to predict the increase mathematical skills of participants from time to time.
Participants also underwent a test to determine how much learning math achievement at the end of the school year.
From there, researchers found that children's intelligence level affects only increased her math skills in the early years of the study only, while from time to time, two other things, motivation and learning strategies reported to be more important and necessary for successful child learn math.
"The learning ability of the child involving factors indicating that education can be pursued. One way to find a way so that children are motivated and teach them some skills that can help advance the learning of their abilities in math or other subjects," said Murayama. Share this post :
