对高职院校开设数学文化课程的思考

Thinking on Setting Up the Course of Mathematics Culture in Vocational Colleges

数学课程应包括科学知识和文化素养两个部分。长期以来,由于种种原因,我们只重视作为科学知识的数学课程的灌输,忽略了作为精神滋养层面的数学文化课程的素质培养。它们应相辅相成,从而相得益彰。把数学文化课作为高职数学的主修课,以激发学生学习数学的热情,再针对学习者不同的需要,主修或选修作为科学知识和工具的数学课程,是数学教学改革的良策和出路。

Mathematics curriculum should include scientific knowledge and cultural quality. For a long time,people only paid attention to instill scientific knowledge in students,but neglected the cultivation of cultural quality as a kind of spiritual nourishment for various reasons. Scientific knowledge and cultural quality of mathematical courses should be complementary to each other and can make each other perfect. It may be a good strategy for mathematics teaching reform to take mathematics culture course as a major mathematical course in vocational colleges to stimulate students ’ enthusiasm in learning mathematics,and then students choose scientific knowledge in mathematics courses as obligatory or elective based on the different needs of learners.
