碩士 === 中原大學 === 應用數學研究所 === 100 === This study is supposed to be applied by teachers to probe into what discussion-oriented teaching approach will achieve when the 9th graders review the courses which they had learned during the 1st school year. All the courses are framed into 7 separate units. Students have to manage to spend 3 periods weekly on only one unit and subsequently practice the 7-week program. 3 steps are to be practiced through each weekly phase: reproduction of theme unit conception, group discussion, and then presentation. Based on deducing interviews with students as well as inducing the outcomes of questionnaires are accordingly 4 conclusions about the implementation of discussion-oriented teaching approach: 1.It improves academic results. 2.It develops habits of logical thinking. 3.It strengthens ability in oral expression. 4.It increases collective learning willingness. Nevertheless, according to how students interact in class and what the content is about, teachers are free to flexibly decide on how long to follow the approach through every single period. Whether students are reviewing courses or working on questions, interactive discussion will surely upgrade their level in learning mathematics.
