英国建立新核心数学资格提高中学生的数学能力

On British Establishment of a New Core Mathematical Qualification to Improve Senior High School Students' Mathematical Ability

为了提高英国青年学生的数学能力,英国教育部提出新核心数学资格,并邀请专家小组制订相关的条例和核心数学的目的、规模、学科目标和学习内容等。对于新核心数学资格的提出,笔者得出三点启示:首先学生的数学能力影响国家经济,其次是新核心数学资格与A/AS水平的区别,最后重视专家和专业组织的意见,提高青年的数学素养。

To improve senior high school students＇ mathematical ability, Britain established a new core mathematical qualification and invited the group of experts to develop relevant regulations, and the purposes, size, discipline objectives and learning con- tents of core mathematics. For the proposed new core mathemati- cal qualification, the author draws three inspirations： firstly, stu- dents＇ mathematical literacy affects the national economy; sec- ondly, the difference between the new core mathematical qualifi- cation and A/AS level; thirdly, paying attention to the opinions of experts and professional organizations to improve the mathemati- cal literaey of young people.
