We have studied the teaching process fitful for the probability theory and its basic applications which should be emphasized in the set-theoretical approach against the present text in high school.
Methods.
The mathematical thinking ability of the students will be developed when we instruct the student with the following methods in the teaching period :
(1) Without regard to their ability the students are divided into the experimental class and the above two classes are looked upon as the almost same I.Q. and scholarship by the testing hypothesis.
(2) If an instructor should teach experimental class probablility theory and its applications putting emphasis on the set-theoretical and axiomatic approach, mathematical achievement of the experimental class would be more advanced than the controlled class which be taught probability without the above approach.
Result.
Testing in the two classes through the observation, the experimental class has shown, the improvement in the following points when compared with the controlled class.
(1) Before the experiment, there was no significant difference of learning achievement between the experimental class and the controlled class but after it the learning achivement of the experimental class increased satisfactory than the controlled.
(2) As there were lots of chances of expressing their views, the students showed much interest and their will to participate in the learning activities was very high, and they had great confidence in the subject.
(3) The students were thought to put-more emphasis on the learning process than on the results in school work.
