后现代主义、数学观与数学教育

Postmodernism, Mathematics Values and Mathematics Education

后现代主义的影响已从人文学科转到自然学科。作为人类知识典范的数学也受到这个思潮的冲击,不仅数学哲学观正在发生相应的转变,而且数学教育也表现出明显的后现代思维的特点。后现代主义的这种影响既有积极意义也有消极影响。对西方这一思潮进行分析与批判,可以为我国新一轮数学课程改革发展提供有益的借鉴。

The influence of postmodernism has shifted from humanistic disciplines to natural disciplines. As the example of human knowledge, mathematics is also shocked by this trend. Not only the values of mathematics philosophy are changing accordingly, but also mathematics education is demonstrating the features of postmodern thinking. Such influences of postmodernism are both active and negative. A critical analysis of this Western trend of thought can provide beneficial reference to the development of the new round mathematics curriculum reform in China.
