To explore the impact of academic burden on the physical and mental health of primary school students, combined with the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report in 2018, the relationship among the development of mathematical literacy, mathematics academic burden, and the physical and mental health of primary school students is studied. First, the relationship between mathematical literacy and mathematics anxiety is analyzed, and related influencing factors and measurement methods of mathematics anxiety are introduced. A questionnaire is then designed for primary school students' mathematical stress, and the reliability and validity of the designed questionnaire are tested. Finally, a questionnaire survey is conducted on students, parents, and teachers in the third, fourth, and fifth grades of three standardized public primary schools. The results of the questionnaire survey show that students, teachers, and parents have a general understanding of the mathematics academic burden of primary school students at this stage. A total of 70% of teachers believe that primary school students have a heavy mathematics burden; 50% of parents think that primary school students are under heavy academic stress; 70% of primary school students believe that the heavy mathematics burden leads to reduced sleep time and extracurricular activities, which has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of primary school students. This research provides a reference for improving the current balance between education and students' physical and mental health in China.
为探究学业负担对小学生身心健康的影响,结合2018年国际学生评估项目(PISA)报告结果,研究小学生数学素养发展、数学学业负担与身心健康之间的关系。首先,分析数学素养与数学焦虑之间的关系,并介绍数学焦虑的相关影响因素及测量方法。然后针对小学生的数学压力设计问卷,并对所设计问卷的信效度进行检验。最后,对三所标准化公办小学三、四、五年级的学生、家长和教师进行问卷调查。问卷调查结果显示,学生、教师和家长对现阶段小学生的数学学业负担有普遍认识。共有70%的教师认为小学生数学负担重;50%的家长认为小学生学业压力大;70%的小学生认为繁重的数学负担导致睡眠时间和课外活动减少,这对小学生的身心健康产生严重影响。本研究为改善我国当前教育与学生身心健康之间的平衡提供参考。
