数学文化观视角下的高校数学教育

Mathematics Education at Colleges from the Perspective of Mathematics Culture

随着人们认识与研究的逐步深入,新的高校数学教育的观点与方法不断涌现,高校数学教育的理论成果日趋丰富,而数学文化为研究高等数学教育提供了一个新的视角。数学文化具有统一性、民族性和可塑性的特性。从数学文化观的角度看,高校数学教育是综合性教育,同时也是人性的教育。数学文化视角下实践高校数学教育需明确基于数学文化观的基本教育理念;倡导高校数学教育的多元化;构建自由而宽松的文化环境。

The research into mathematics education at colleges is becoming increasingly fruitful, which predominately focuses on the knowledge system, application values and thinking training of mathematics theories. Mathematics culture is characterized as unity, nationality and malleability. From the perspective of mathematics culture, mathematics education at colleges is both comprehensive and human. Accordingly, education of this kind should be provided by orienting the basic educational concepts to this cultural outlook, advocating pluralistic mathematics education and creating a free and friendly cultural environment.
