澳大利亚数学课程中的文化多样性及其启示

Culture Diversity in Australian Mathematics Curriculum and Its Enlightenment

基于澳大利亚最新公布的数学课程标准,分析了澳大利亚数学课程中的文化多样性。澳大利亚的数学课程渗透多元文化主义理念,关注学习者的多样性,注重培养学生的跨文化理解能力;聚焦课程内容,多层面提出多元文化学习要求;课程的组织方式以"系统-整合式"为主,多元文化融入数学课程以转化模式和社会行动模式为主。从拓宽数学课程的文化视野、注重数学与其他学科领域的联系、提高多元文化数学课程的开发深度等视角提出了改革我国数学课程的思考与建议。

Based on the newest established Australian mathematics curriculum standard, this paper analyses the culture diversity in Australian mathematics curriculum. Multiculturalism is permeated in this curriculum standard, while the diversity of learners and the ability of intercultural understanding are highlighted. The curriculum content requires multicultural learning on multiple levels; the key way of content organization is the system-integrated type. Culture diviersity is integrated in mathematics curriculum by the means of the Transformation Approach and Social Action Approach. Thus, thoughts and proposals have been provided for Chinese curriculum reform from three aspects, including broadening the cultural perspective of mathematics curriculum, emphasizing the links between mathematics and other subjects, and enhancing multicultural mathematics curriculum development in depth.
