新加坡数学课程特色、发展趋向及其启示

Analysis on the Characteristics of Singapore's Primary and Secondary Mathematics Syllabus

课程标准是课程改革的重要政策窗口。在稳中求进的发展过程中,新加坡教育部于2013年颁布了中小学数学教学大纲,深化了新加坡在中小学数学课程改革方面的成效,对课程内容及教学过程的描述在操作层面上具有重要的指导意义。与大纲修订相应的是对新大纲实施效果的评定。2016年新加坡教育部讨论确定对新大纲实施效果的评定将围绕能力(Competence)、自信(Confidence)、创新(Creative)、批判(Critical)和求知(Curious)(简称5C)进行。这对我国的课程改革,尤其是新近关于核心素养的探讨有很好的借鉴作用。

As a window of important curriculum reform policies, Singapore Ministry of Education （MOE） launched a new edition of Primary and Secondary Mathematics Syllabus on its official website in 2013. The revision has deepened the effectiveness of mathematics curriculum reform. On one hand, it emphasizes the acquisition of mathematics experience in the process of teaching and learning; on the other hand, it encourages teachers to extend teaching strategies by modeling. Compared with prior editions, the descriptions of the course contents and teaching processes in this new syllabus have more guiding significance at the operational level. Corresponding to the revision of syllabus is the assessment of its implementation effect. In 2016, the MOE has decided that the assessment will center on students＇ 5C, i.e., competence, confidence, creative, critical, and curious. An analysis the new mathematics syllabus and the basic ideas of its implementation would provide useful reference for the curriculum reform in China.
