A Study On Ideology Of Mathematics Textbooks

In the related research of mathematics textbooks,researchers are concerned about how to use mathematics textbooks.These studies emphasize the objectivity of mathematical knowledge.But mathematics textbooks are influenced by social culture.What values do mathematics textbooks reflect in social culture? How does mathematics textbook reflect values in social culture? These problems are worth studying.Researchers pay attention to the differentiated attitudes of mathematics textbooks to social groups,and generally believe that mathematics textbooks express their positions.But these are not enough,because we don't know how to hide these attitudes in textbooks,so we don't know how to change this situation.According to the existing theories,ideological analysis of mathematics textbooks may solve the above problems.In order to accurately analyze the ideology of Mathematics Textbooks in China,this study draws on the theoretical framework of in-depth Hermeneutics in the field of media analysis and the ideology of systemic functional grammar analysis in linguistics.Based on Systemic Functional Grammar(SFG),this study analyses the language of mathematics textbooks,including how discourse constructs social reality and the identity of social groups,and then infers the attitude of textbooks towards different social groups.This study also uses social and historical analysis to judge the consistency of mathematics textbooks with the mainstream values of social history.This study conducts an ideological analysis of four years' mathematics textbooks in China,including the linguistic structure,value orientation and ideological operation of different years' mathematics textbooks.Besides,it also explains what changes have taken place in the discourse structure,value orientation,ideological mode of operation of Mathematics Textbooks in different social and historical periods after the foundingof PRC,and the characteristics between these stages of development.The linguistic features of Mathematics Textbooks in our country show the trend of "democratization" and "commercialization".At the same time,the value orientation of Mathematics Textbooks in different years has also changed.For example,the emphasis on "industrial and agricultural society" has shifted to "commercial society",the emphasis on "rural center" has shifted to "urban center",and the control of the speaker over the listener has gradually weakened.These changes were not accidental,but corresponded to the social environment at that time.Social constructivism,a philosophical trend,is an important reason for the change of mathematical concept.The urbanization of society,the development of commodity economy and the democratization of social system are the most important factors that lead to the change of attitude of textbooks towards different social groups.Cultural inheritance has led to textbooks to remain "male-centered" unchanged.
