Research on the Learning of University Students Majoring in Mathematics in China

Abstract

Recently, the China government has increasingly attached importance to the development of basic science. As the reserve talents to promote the development of mathematics, university students majoring in mathematics have received the attention of researchers for their mathematics learning. At present, there are many studies on students majoring in mathematics, however, few complete reviews and sorting in this aspect. In this paper, the literature analysis method and statistical method are adopted to review the relevant research literature from 2003 to 2022. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) There are three main research aspects about mathematics learning of college students majoring in mathematics: the current situation, the influencing factors, and strategies to help them. (2) Regarding the situation, there is more research on the problems of students majoring in mathematics and a lack of analysis and research on the causes. (3) About the influencing factors, scholars have explored ample influencing factors, and have a certain research basis and depth. But the complete influencing factors and the mechanism of the factors influencing them are still a blank spot. (4) The strategies are mainly aimed at universities and teachers, and the research has put forward some commonly recognized strategies. However, these strategies are broad and general, lacking pertinence for students majoring in mathematics. It is necessary to analyze the causes of problems existing and put forward more targeted suggestions for the students majoring in mathematics to make research more comprehensive and in-depth.
