国外民族数学研究述评及启示

Review of Overseas Studies on Ethnomathematics and Its Inspirations

民族数学是近年来国际数学教育研究的热点之一。国外学者深入探讨了"民族文化中的数学元素与数学思想、民族数学在数学教育中的实践、关注民族文化价值"等问题,并取得了丰硕的研究成果。这些研究成果为民族数学进入学校数学课程与教学提供了可能,也为我国民族数学研究提供了有益的借鉴与启示。

Ethnomathematics is a hot topic in international mathematics educational studies. Foreign scholars have dealt with such issues as mathematics elements and thinking in ethnic culture, practice in mathematics education and ethnic culture value and so on, and made a great progress in it. These then provide possibility of adding ethnomathematics into mathematics curriculum and teaching, and suggestions for our research on ethnomathematics as well.
