碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 教育研究所 === 98 === The research aims to explore the gap based on Polya heuristic problem solving strategies for mathematics word problem between the level of recognition and practical teaching situations. The questionnaire、mathematics word problem instruction questionnaires、has been developed for exploring 641 primary school teachers within 12 areas in Taiwan (response rate is 87 %). The result clearly shows: (1) the 『level of recognition』 on Polya heuristic problem solving strategies is higher than the 『practical teaching situations』、(2) the 『looking back stage』 presents the biggest gap、and (3) the demographic variables (such as gender、the length of teaching years) plays a critical role on the problem solving process. Hence、it is proposed that the results can be implied in three ways. Firstly by individual teachers to reflect on their teaching process、secondly、by school authorities to formulate strategies for supporting teaching quality and thirdly by educational authorities to improve policies of mathematical education. Key words: primary school teachers, Polya heuristic problem solving strategies、 mathematics word problem
