教科书中数学家形象与精神的呈现

The Representation of the Images and Spirits of Mathematicians in Textbooks

教科书中展现的数学家形象及负载的数学家精神能推动科学家精神的传播和数学学科整体育人的实现。以人教版数学教科书为例,管窥数学家形象与精神在教科书中呈现的现实样态,发现教科书中构建了一种以古代男性为代表的,睿智、独立、少有情绪且静态化的数学家形象,渗透了以创新精神、奉献精神和求实精神为主的数学家精神,且数学家形象与精神具有随学段变化的特点。进一步,需要面向核心素养,构建数学家精神的目标体系,整合和塑造多元化的数学家形象与精神,并整体设计数学家形象与精神的跨学段呈现。

The images and the spirits of mathematicians presented in textbooks can promote the dissemination of scientists’spirits and realize the overall educational value of mathematics.This study takes the mathematics textbooks for primary schools published by People’s Education Press as an example to explore the images and spirits of mathematicians presented in textbooks.It is found that a wise,independent,emotionless and static image of the ancient male mathematician has been constructed in the textbooks,which is permeated with the spirits of mathematicians,mainly innovative spirit,dedication spirit and realistic spirit.The images and spirits of mathematicians presented in the textbooks change with the stages of learning.In the future,it is necessary to build a goal system of mathematician spirits for the cultivation of students’key competencies,integrate and create diversified mathematician images and spirits,and have an overall design for the presentation of mathematician images and spirits in textbooks across different learning stages.
