Advantages and Disadvantages of Olympiad Learning Olympiad has many advantages, one of which is that Olympiad can cultivate mathematical thinking and develop intelligence. Mathematical thinking refers to the mathematical concept of visualizing mathematics according to mathematical materials and forming mathematical operations. Do we always say that? Sense of number? . The Olympics is systematic. Through the study of Olympic Mathematics, children can use the methods of induction, deduction and analogy to reason, and they can explain their thoughts and opinions logically and accurately. In addition, it is difficult for students to gain psychological advantages and enhance their self-confidence. Therefore, learning Olympic Mathematics well is of great significance to them, which is equivalent to overcoming the difficulties in learning, helping students build up their self-confidence in learning and stimulating their enthusiasm for learning.
There are disadvantages in learning Olympic Mathematics. Students who are not good at mathematics are not advised to learn Olympic Mathematics, otherwise even the most basic mathematics will encounter many problems. It is also easy to encounter some problems in learning Olympic Mathematics, which will confuse students and increase their academic burden. At the same time, it may also make children with weak willpower frustrated and unable to bear the blow. In addition, some students will be proud and conceited, show off most of them, be complacent and have some utilitarianism when winning the Olympic Games.
Expert: Zhu Leping, a core member of the development team of the mathematics curriculum standard "Not suitable for everyone to learn the Olympics", said that there is no difference in brain intelligence and talent of each child, but there are differences. Some children have strong language skills, some children have strong imagination, and some children have strong mathematical logic skills. For example, children who are gifted in mathematics and physics should have different educational methods so that their potential can be fully tapped and brought into play. ? The poorest ones? Accompany? Our children, who obviously have strong language skills, are forced by their parents and teachers to learn Olympic Mathematics. ? Zhu Leping said that blindly learning the Olympic Games for all without distinguishing children's personalities has caused many educational tragedies.
Zheng Yuxin, a professor of philosophy at Nanjing University who specializes in mathematics education, resolutely opposes primary school students' study of Olympic Mathematics. He said that the Olympiad was originally learned by a small number of students because it can really expand logical thinking. But the question now is, Olympic Mathematics has been regarded as a touchstone to test children's learning ability by key middle schools and has become a part of further studies? Stepping stone? Its negative effect is greater than its positive effect.
Zheng Yuxin said that after Olympic Mathematics was used as a means to enter colleges and universities, children were seriously polarized in mathematics learning. Some students successfully studied Olympic mathematics, but most students failed. Some students are studying Olympic Mathematics outside, but the teacher doesn't talk much about mathematics. He learned it by himself, and since then he doesn't like listening to lectures or math. So the olympiad brought them a sense of frustration in mathematics.
As Bian Xiao said at the beginning, the world is diverse, and talents from all walks of life are needed to support the basic values of human society and give play to everyone's social and personal values.
