“民族数学”及其对我国少数民族数学教育的启示

On Ethnomathematics and Its Implications to Mathematics Education of Ethnic Minorities in China

在当今的数学教育的研究与实践中,重视数学的文化价值已经形成共识,当前国际数学教育的改革充分体现了民族和文化的特点。"民族数学"要求人们能超越对数学一致性与确定性的认识,关注不同民族与文化中多样的数学形式。"民族数学"能帮助人们思考在少数民族的数学教育中合理有效地处理好文化多样性的问题:正视"民族数学",挖掘少数民族数学资源;重视语言教学,传承发扬少数民族语言;致力教育公平,合理评价少数民族学生。

It has now reached the common sense that cultural value of mathematics should attain importance in mathematics education. As a result, ethnic and cultural characteristics are fully reflected in current reform in mathematics education. Ethnomathematics requires focus on diverse mathematical formats in different nation and culture beyond the understanding of the consistency and certainty of mathematics. Ethnomathmatics can help how to reasonably and effectively solve the problem of cultural diversity in mathematics education for ethnic minorities： excavate ethnic mathematical resources and envisage multi-culture; inherit and carry forward ethnic language and implement bilingual teaching; reasonably evaluate ethnic students and promote educational equality.
