A Practical Study on Enhancing Students’ Mathematical Literacy by “Integration of Doing, Learning and Teaching”

Abstract

In face of the mathematical foundation of students in higher vocational colleges, Tao Xingzhi’s educational thought is of great guiding significance. “Integration of doing, learning and teaching” is not only the theoretical basis of Tao Xingzhi’s educational thought, but also his methodology and action guideline. Tao Xingzhi emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action, among which action is greater than knowledge. This concept is isomorphic with the mathematical culture curriculum. Drawing on the idea of “integration of doing, learning and teaching”, we explore the math culture curriculum and expand the four forms of teaching and learning in math culture: theoretical training, practical exploration, research-based learning, and reflective learning. In the implementation of the school-based curriculum, local teaching resources should be fully exploited, constructing the mathematics teaching mode of “Integration of doing, learning and teaching”, effective teaching methods and classroom evaluation algorithms, ensuring the relevance of vocational education and improving mathematical literacy.
