Existing Problems and Reform Ideas in Normal Mathematics Education

Zhang Zhan-liang

Abstract

Normal mathematics education is the foundation and a primary form of mathematics teachers′ pre-professional training.The followings are the major problems existing in normal mathematics education:the normal features do not have proper prominence,the curriculum lacks scientific guidance,higher mathematics knowledge hardly has any links with elementary mathematics teaching and weak teaching practice and inadequate research are seen in mathematics education.Some new ideas for mathematics education reform are as follows:to attain a correct understanding of the training objectives in normal mathematics education,to set up a scientific curriculum,to improve teaching methods,to strengthen the links of higher mathematics and elementary mathematics,to emphasize the teaching of mathematical application and thinking,and to strengthen teaching skill training and practice as well as mathematics teaching research.
