幼儿语言能力与数学能力发展的关系——一项国际文献的系统综述
The Relationship between Early Childhood Language Skills and Mathematical Abilities—A Systematic Review of International Literature
摘要: 语言能力是早期数学学习的基础，与早期数学能力之间的关系紧密，并且在之后的正式学校教育中对幼儿的数学发展起着持续作用。本文通过整理与评析国外相关的研究，梳理了幼儿语言能力的结构、幼儿语言能力对数学能力的影响、数学能力对语言能力的影响、二者发展的影响因素等几部分内容。综合研究结果发现，幼儿语言能力与数学能力发展存在较强的相关性，但二者的作用机制并不明确，缺乏更为系统的研究来提供支撑。未来应加强研究两者之间的交互关系，并且采用追踪研究的方法考察语言能力对数学能力的预测作用，加强研究数学语言对幼儿数学能力与数学教育的独特作用，同时关注家庭情境中的亲子互动对于语言与数学教育的影响，为幼儿的语言教育与数学教育提供更为准确的指导方向。
Abstract: Language ability serves as the foundation for early mathematical learning and is closely related to early mathematical abilities, playing a continuous role in the mathematical development of young children during formal school education. This paper organizes and evaluates relevant foreign research to outline the structure of early childhood language ability, the impact of language ability on mathematical ability, the impact of mathematical ability on language ability, and the influencing factors of their development. The synthesis of research findings reveals a strong correlation between early childhood language ability and mathematical ability development, but the mechanisms of their interaction are not clear, and there is a lack of more systematic research to provide support. Future research should strengthen the study of the interactive relationship between the two, use longitudinal methods to examine the predictive role of language ability on mathematical ability, enhance the study of the unique role of mathematical language in early childhood mathematical ability and mathematical education, and pay attention to the impact of parent-child interaction in the family context on language and mathematical education. This will provide more accurate guidance for language and mathematical education for young children.
