“培养能力、发展智力”已成为人们在教学中经常谈论的一个问题。一个新的课题摆在我们面前:如何考查数学能力?对此,三年来我们进行了多次探索性实践。1984年11月又在初一年级代数期中考试时进行了一次数学能力考查尝试。现把这次考查数学能力的设想与实践作一介绍,以求和大家共同研究。一、设想数学能力考查有两个问题必须解决。一是命题的编拟,二是考查的标准。人们熟知的传统数学考查,主要是对知识和技能的考查。命题的编拟主要依据教材系统 “Cultivating abilities and developing intelligence” has become a topic that people often talk about in teaching. A new topic lies before us: How to test math ability? In this regard, we have conducted many exploratory practices in the past three years. In 1984 November again in the first grade algebra midterm test conducted a test of mathematical ability test. Now I will introduce my ideas and practices in examining mathematics abilities in order to study together with everyone. First, suppose that there are two problems that must be solved in examining mathematical abilities. First, the formulation of the proposition, the second is to test the standard. Well-known traditional mathematical test, mainly on knowledge and skills test. The proposition is mainly based on textbook system
