Survey Research on the Status of Assignment Design of Elementary School Mathematics Teachers——Analysis of Survey Data Based on Wujin District,Changzhou City,China
The quality of assignment design is an important dimension to improve the quality of teaching and learning,as well as an important indicator of teachers'professional abilities.In order to understand the current situation of assignment design for elementary school mathematics teachers,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 887 teachers.The study result shows that:the importance of assignment design has been widely recognized,but there still exist some problems:outdated assignment design concepts,insufficient time investment,and weak design ability.There is a partial positive correlation between teaching years and teachers'assignment design abilities.Many factors affect teachers'assignment design ability:teachers'active learning is very important and college education generally lacks assignment design courses.Accordingly,it is suggested that:college courses should shift from"theory"to"practice";the function of assignments should shift from"tools"to"educator";Assignment design should shift from"fragmentation"to"integration";and the improvement of assignment should shift from"form"to"essence".
