On the value and role of mathematical science literacy
话说数学科学素养的价值作用

摘要

数学是自然科学的基石、教育育人的核心素养与新质生产力的重要技术支撑。现从科学探索精神、非线性思维方式、数学建模实证、数学成就自信、数学文化熏陶、辩证唯物育人、变换方法塑格、理论结构内化八个维度，系统论述数学科学素养在中国式现代化建设中的价值：既为改革提供非线性思维的方法论指引，为国家决策提供建模实证的科学支撑，也为文化自信培育、思政教育融入及人格健全提供独特路径。研究结合历史案例、现实工程与实践方法，揭示数学“科学价值-人文价值-应用价值”的协同作用，为新时代“立德树人”与现代化建设提供理论参考。

Abstract

Mathematics is the cornerstone of natural science, a core competency for education, and an important technological support for new productive forces. This paper systematically discusses the value of mathematical science literacy in China's modernization from eight dimensions: scientific exploration spirit, nonlinear thinking, mathematical modeling and empirical evidence, confidence in mathematical achievements, the influence of mathematical culture, dialectical materialism in education, transformation methods in character building, and internalization of theoretical structures. It provides methodological guidance for nonlinear thinking in reform, scientific support for modeling and empirical evidence in national decision-making, and a unique path for cultivating cultural confidence, integrating ideological and political education, and promoting sound personality development. The study combines historical cases, real-world engineering projects, and practical methods to reveal the synergistic effect of mathematics’ “scientific value, humanistic value, and applied value”, providing theoretical reference for "moral education" and modernization in the new era.
