The purpose of this study is to know what is their general underarcheivement factor of middle school mathematics underarcheiver, and what is the difficulties and distinctive thing of the mathematical study. According to the purpose of this research, I set up the following research issues.
1) what is the general underarcheivement factor of middle school mathematics underarcheiver?
2) what is middle school mathematics underarcheiver's problem (difficulty) of the mathematical study?
To archieve this research, I had qualitative case study through observation and unformal interview. So the result from those is as follows.
In the results, there was 5 general under-achivement factors for middle school mathmatics under-achiver.
First factor was the absence of basic studying and effort that is motivation for escape from under-achivement.
Second factor was contradictory human relations about teacher.
Third factor was maladjustment for school and class.
Fourth factor was home environment and parents' indifference.
Fifth factor was hope in the impulsive future by fascination for media.
Also, there was 4 difficulty as following at mathematics studying
process that know middle school mathematics studying underachiver.
First factor concept not studying method by comprehension but studying inclination to remember specific scene be .
Second factor was not recognizing the importance about meaning or exact meaning of terminology.
Knowledge that remember for third factor is fragmentary and was not forming relation net.
Fourth factor is feeling trouble to do not have consistent algorithm application ability at basis working such as negative number calculation and grasp mathematical language use ability and context of word problem, and current year about variable concept is short.
