国外线性代数的教学研究述评

Review on Foreign Studies of the Teaching and Learning of Linear Algebra

线性代数是大学理工科学生的重要基础课,有关线性代数教学领域的研究越来越受到重视.分析近30年来国外有关线性代数教与学方面的研究成果,论述了国外线性代数的课程改革与内容,总结出学生学习的心理过程和在学习过程中所遭遇的困难和原因,并对国外的教学设计与实践成果进行了评析,为中国的线性代数教学研究提供了思考和借鉴的方向.

Linear algebra was one of the first advanced mathematics courses that students encounter at university level.This paper evaluated foreign studies of the teaching and learning of linear algebra in the past three decades from the four aspects as follows：the content and reformation of curriculum,the psychological process of students＇ learning,students＇ difficulties,and the teaching designs and experiments.The foreign research patterns and conclusions could provide some reference for our research,while their limitations also indicated the direction of our future study.
