Mathematics education is a social and cultural phenomenon, and its sociality determines that mathematics education should keep pace with the times and innovate constantly. A series of problems in mathematics education, such as educational objectives, educational content and educational technology, will change and develop with the progress of society. The background of mathematics education reform comes from at least nine considerations: knowledge economy, social relations, family pressure, international trends, examination reform, rejuvenating the country through science and education, deepening quality education, popularizing compulsory education and so on.

Training objectives

Cultivate primary and secondary school mathematics teachers who master the basic theories, knowledge and skills of mathematics education and have the ability of preliminary mathematics teaching research and application.

core competence

Understand the basic theories, principles and policies of education, and have rich mathematical knowledge and technical ability to organize teaching activities.

Professional courses

Continuation of mathematical analysis, theory of complex variable function, ordinary differential equation, elementary number theory, modern algebra, middle school mathematics methodology, probability theory and mathematical statistics (3), combinatorial mathematics, linear programming, differential geometry, applied statistical methods, etc.

Teachers' occupation

According to the forecast of the Ministry of Education, in the next five years, the gap of senior high school teachers in China will reach 1. 1.6 million, among which the demand for teachers in basic disciplines such as mathematics and Chinese is the greatest. There is even a shortage of math teachers in many cities and counties in Guangdong Province. The statistical analysis of the talent market in 37 large and medium-sized cities in China shows that math teachers are very popular. Broadening the channels for teachers and recruiting teachers for the society has become an important measure for the reform of the education and personnel system. This undoubtedly provides a great development space for applying for the employment of mathematics graduates in comprehensive universities.
