Summary:碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 應用數學系數學科教學碩士班 === 103 === The purpose of this study is to investigate the most common error patterns of factor conceptions and problem-solving strategies that the sixth graders in Tainan area usually make and to infer its causes, which hope to provide the teachers with the references that can improve their teaching methods afterward. The study is conducted by using self-developed instructs of factor concepts and problem-solving strategies, which are done on randomly-selected one hundred thirty-four sixth graders in Tainan city . The quantitative data were analyzed via SPSS 21 and the result was compared with qualitative data to figure out the error patterns and the possible reasons for their mistakes. I. The main wrong types of factor learning 1.Conceptual errors or confusion. 2.Lack of sufficient concepts. 3.Mistakes in wrong conceptual links. 4.Lack of some calculating skills. 5.Errors in misinterpretation 6.Leaving the answers blank. II.The main causes of the errors in factor learning 1.The definition of math terminology is not recognized clearly. 2.Carelessness or neglection when solving the math problems. 3.To Typo or calculate wrongly. 4.Questions not clearly recognized or lack of reading-interpretation abilities. 5.Affected by past experiences. 6.Misunderstanding of the prior essential knowledge. 7.It is blurry to the definition of 1. 8.Omission or superfluity of upper concept causes the mistakes of lower concepts. 9.To misunderstand the operational results of short division.
