“奥数”存废之思

On the Argument of Mathematical Competition

“奥数”产生于一种特殊的数学教育活动——数学奥林匹克。“奥数”金牌显示了我国中学数学教育的优秀成绩和华夏子孙卓越的数学才智。但是，数学奥林匹克对学校教育和学生学习产生了诸多不利影响。它在我国中小学数学教育中普遍化和规模化的存在，主要是受到多种内在因素，如数学竞赛的教育观念、教育传统和文化心理，以及思维方式等的钳制。因此，“为数学奥林匹克‘松绑’”会相当不容易，而废除“奥数”也不符合数学教育的现代理念。

This paper discussed the argument of mathematical competition, analyzed the some factors of affecting the popularization of mathematical competition in china; it mainly included the educational views of mathematical competition, Chinese conditional culture and pattern of thinking, it was difficult for us to lessen the effect of mathematical competition.
