核心能力是除具体专业技能和专业知识外的能力,是贯穿人生始终可持续发展的能力,培养学生的核心能力是当今职业教育一项重要任务。高职数学课程作为一门公共基础课,要围绕核心能力培养目标,更新数学教育观,改革现有高职数学课程的教学方法,在传授数学知识的同时也要注重培养学生的核心能力。 The core competencies are not only the specific professional skills and professional knowledge, but also the ability of always developing through life. To cultivate the core competence of students is an important task of vocational education. As a public basic course, higher vocational mathematics curriculum should focus on the training of core competence, update the view of mathematics education, reform the existing teaching methods of higher vocational mathematics courses, and pay attention to cultivate the core competence of students while teaching mathematics knowledge.
