Journal of Mathematical Research with Applications

<正>Aims and Scope Journal of Mathematical Research with Applications(JMRA),formerly Journal of Mathematical Research and Exposition(JMRE)created in 1981,is one of the transactions of China Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics,and is a bimonthly journal.JMRA is dedicated to publishing first-rate original research papers in all areas of mathematics with applications,and making research findings available to a wide scientific world,as JMRE has for many years.In line with the name change,the new scope of Journal of Mathematical Research with Applications will not include the articles on mathematical methodology and mathematical philosophy.Copyright Information     

Bridging the Gap Between the Dense and the Discrete: The Number Line and the “Rubber Line” Bridging Analogy

In two experiments we explored the instructional value of a cross‐domain mapping between “number” and “line” in secondary school students' understanding of density. The first experiment investigated the hypothesis that density would be more accessible to students in a geometrical context (infinitely many points on a straight line segment) compared to a numerical context (infinitely many numbers in an interval). The participants were 229 seventh to eleventh graders. The results supported this hypothesis but also showed that students' conceptions of the line segment were far from that of a dense array of points. We then designed a text-based intervention that attempted to build the notion of density in a geometrical context, making explicit reference to the number-to-points correspondence and using the “rubber line” bridging analogy (the line as an imaginary unbreakable rubber band) to convey the no-successor principle. The participants were 149 eighth and tenth graders. The text intervention improved student performance in tasks regarding the infinity of numbers in an interval; the “rubber line” bridging analogy further improved performance successfully conveying the idea that these numbers can never be found one immediately next to the other.     

‘Experimental pedagogy’ in Germany,elaborated for mathematics – a case study in searching the roots of PME

PME, the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, was founded in 1976, at the Third International Congress on Mathematical Education in Karlsruhe, organised by the International Commission on Mathematics Instruction (ICMI). While PME is thus beyond coming of age and is reflecting its further orientation – due to the present “social turn” – the origins of investigating psychological aspects of mathematics learning have not yet been systematically studied. I am undertaking here a first such approach, concentrating on Germany, where the first pertinent monographs were published in 1913 and 1916. Different endeavours, focussing in particular on the notion of error, merged into the characteristic approach of ‘experimental pedagogy’. Given the key function of ICMI for founding PME, an additional aspect is whether the forerunner of ICMI: the Internationale Mathematische Unterrichtskommission (IMUK), founded in 1908, had an impact upon promoting research into the psychology of mathematics education. The pertinent research was effected by psychology; doing research themselves was still outside the horizon of mathematics educators. Perspectives of future research, in particular comparative ones, are outlined.

经济数学教学改革研究——从问题开放到思维开放

在经济数学教学中适当的引进数学开放题,可以引导学生运用多种思维方式解决问题,促进学生的思维开放,本文以《概率统计》为例,通过具体实例的构建将开放题引入经济数学教学中,以求通过问题的开放培养学生的开放思维。     

高等数学课堂教学与一题多解

高等数学是理工科院校一门十分重要的公共基础课程,在自然科学、工程技术、生命科学、社会科学、经济管理等众多领域有着广泛的应用．对待作为高等数学课堂上的主体——学生,教师应当积极正面评价学生,激发学生的学习兴趣,启发学生主动思考,全面培养学生解决数学问题的能力,并在课堂教学中贯彻这一思想．课堂教学也表明：学生积极主动的应用多种思路解决一道题远比老师灌输性的介绍一道题的多种解法要更具有积极意义．
