地理信息科学专业学生数学素养的培养

The cultivation of mathematical literacy of students majoring in geographic information science

地理信息科学专业涉及地理学、测绘学、数学、计算机等多个学科,就培养角度而言,地理信息科学一方面强调地理学和测绘科学的知识学习,另一方面强调以数学素养为代表的素质教育。本文重点探讨了数学素养、核心要素和专业课程学习之间的关系,并探究实践对数学素养培养的影响。以武汉大学地理信息科学专业4届学生成绩为例,分析了数学素养及其与专业课程学习之间的相关性。分析结果表明:数学素养有助于地理信息科学专业课程的学习和深化。地理信息科学专业课程教学中需要激发学生的数学思维,这样不但有助于学生数学素养的提升,更加有助于对专业课程的理解和升华。同时,实践是检验和锻炼数学素养最好的方式,学生应在实际实践中不断提高自身数学素养与综合能力。

Geographic information science involves geography,surveying and mapping,mathematics,computer science and other disciplines. In terms of cultivation,geographic information science emphasizes knowledge learning of geography and surveying and mapping science on the one hand,and it emphasizes quality education represented by mathematical literacy on the other hand. This paper focuses on the relationship between mathematical literacy,core elements and professional course learning,and takes the grades of students majoring in geographic information science of Wuhan University as an example to analyze the correlation between mathematical literacy and professional course learning. The results show that mathematical literacy is helpful to the study and deepening of geographic information science. The teaching of professional courses in geographic information science should stimulate students’ mathematical thinking,which is not only conducive to the improvement of students’ mathematical literacy,but also conducive to the understanding and sublimation of professional courses. At the same time,practice is the best way to test and exercise mathematical literacy,students should constantly improve their mathematical literacy and comprehensive ability in practice.
