MOOC课程《数学之旅》的实践与体会

Practice and Experience of MOOC “The Journey of Mathematics”

MOOC对数学教学来讲,因为功利性刺激减弱,如何吸引学生,同时还不失数学的深刻性,这是对每个数学教师的挑战.从《数学之旅》课程中挑选3个典型案例,试图用讲好故事的办法,围绕“数学抽象”这个主题展示数学抽象的魅力和强大功效.同时,就提高如何设计课程能提高学生和社会受众的数学抽象能力和数学涵养谈几点思考.最后,对MOOC课程新的特点的把握和驾驭,以及课程拍摄和课程上线的实践谈几点体会.

In this paper, we talk about the practice and experience on the design and application of MOOC ＂The journey of mathematics＂. Since the MOOC is weakly utilitarian, it＇s a challenge to math teachers how to attract students without loss of depth of mathematics. We choose three typical cases on how to tell a good story around the topic ＂abstractness＂ to show the charm and power of mathematical abstractness. Meanwhile, we also introduce our thinking about how to design the course to improve the mathematical abilities of students and other audiences. Finally, we talk about our experience on how to handle the new characteristics of MOOC and some skills of taking the course and putting it online.
