中外中小学数学教育之“长”“短”几则

How to Understand The Advantages and Disadvantages of Mathematical Educations between Chinese and Western School

根据比较教育学的原理和文化的多元性理论，列举事实，试图阐明：对中、外中小学数学教育的种种特点，往往不能简单地、轻易地概以“优点”或“缺点”，而盲目地“继承”或“拿来”．在中小学数学教育改革的过程中，必须始终坚持辩证唯物主义精神和实事求是的态度．

According to the principles of comparative education and the diversity theory of culture, this paper gave a collection of facts to clarify that the respective characters of Chinese and Western school's mathematics educations should neither be simply regarded as 'virtues' or 'shortcomings' nor 'inherited' or 'used' blindly. The paper emphasized that the spirit of dialectical materialism and the attitude of seeking truth from facts should be observed in the process of reforming school mathematics education.
