摘要:

高考数学是否应该引入计算器是一个学界关心和争议的话题。本研究调查了六大洲30个经济较为发达的国家和地区高考数学计算器的使用规定,从考试模式(单一、混合)、计算器的种类和计算器本身在数学试题及其解答中发挥的作用三方面进行比较分析,并对有代表性的考试样卷进行案例分析。研究发现,当前全球大多数高考数学卷允许使用计算器,且以科学计算器的单一模式为主。高考数学中引入计算器能够突破传统考试对试题内容、类型和情境的限制,为提高试题的情境性、开放性、灵活性、应用性和探究性,拓宽试题内容的范围提供新的途径,并有效提高考试与课程标准的一致性。根据研究结果,我们认为,应充分认识到将计算器引入高考数学的正面价值和信息时代下的必然性,高考改革应积极适应未来社会发展的需要;努力探索将计算器引入高考数学的考试模式和题目设计,开展相关研究,推进考试创新和命题改革;同时,要切实注意到计算器进入高考数学带来的公平性问题,制订和完善有关计算器进入课堂和考试的长期规划。

Abstract:

Whether calculators should be introduced to College Entrance Examinations in Mathematics (CEE-M) in China is a long-standing controversial topic. This study examined calculator use policies and practices in CEE-M in 30 relatively economically developed countries and regions, and compared their delivery modes (single, mixed), types of calculators allowed and roles of calculators in exam questions and solutions; representative questions in selected sample exams were also used for case analysis. The study found that most CEE-M allowed students to use calculators, with mainly the single delivery mode using scientific calculators, and introducing calculators into the CEE-M can provide a new opportunity to enhance the real-life context, openness, and flexibility of questions in mathematics examinations. According to the results, the study concluded that there is a need to fully realize the value of introducing calculators in CEE-M, carry out more research in designing exam questions allowing calculators to promote examination reform and innovation, and establish a long-term plan for introducing calculators into mathematics classrooms and examinations.
