数学教科书中的定义歧义现象及其教育价值
Definitional Ambiguity in Mathematics Textbooks and Its Educational Value
摘要
Abstract
To ensure the rigor of mathematics,different definitions of the same concept should be equivalent.However,in the context of textbooks,certain concepts may be defined in non-equivalent ways.These varying definitions are not inherently right or wrong,but each is valid in its own context,which has led to ongoing debates within the academy.This gives rise to the phenomenon of"definitional ambiguity"in mathematics textbooks.From the perspective of mathematics philosophy,the source of definitional ambiguity lies in the stipulative nature of mathematical definitions and the evolving nature of mathematical concepts.From the perspective of mathematics education,the"One Standard,Multiple Textbooks"system and different teaching goals at various educational stages help explain why definitional ambiguity appears in current textbooks.When definitional ambiguity is reconsidered,it can serve as an educational resource for empowering teacher professional development,cultivating students'questioning spirit,and enhancing the interactivity of textbook development.关键词
