The Design and Implementation of the Mathematics Teaching Goal

Abstract

Mathematical teaching goal is the intended learning outcome and standard in mathematical teaching and learning. It can be represented as the concrete description of students' learning results and behaviors, or an explanation of students' growth in knowledge and skills and other aspects at the end of teaching activities. During the thirty odd years, China's mathematical teaching goal has experienced a process of constant exploration and development, with a shift of focus from the evaluation of students' grasp of fundamental knowledge and skills, to the evaluation of the process of students' experience in mathematical activities and their solving of mathematical problems and their development mathematical literacy. The present teaching goal system can be seen as a three-dimensional one, which consists three aspects: knowledge and skill, process and method, emotions, attitudes and value. Under the new round of curriculum reform, the mathematical textbook editor and writer, academic experts, in-service teachers should work together in the designing, phrasing and final completing. The methodology for the design of mathematical teaching goal is an important technical problem, for which ABCD method and the method of combining internal and external are prominent. As for the realization of mathematical teaching goal, it shows both features of predetermination and estimated deviation.
