个人简介

I am Xu Hua Sun, an assistant professor in Mathematics Education at the Faculty of Education, and an affiliate of Chao Kuang Piu College, University of Macau. Previously I held a research fellowship at Hong Kong Education University and, before that, I received MSc degrees in mathematics education, at North-East Normal University, China and then my PhD in mathematics education, at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Exposed in western colony (Hong Kong & Macau) for fifteen years, I was interested in researching in the advantage and disadvantage of Chinese mainland mathematics education system from both inside and outside. From curriculum perspective, I found Chinese problem variation bianshi (变式) tradition: “one problem multiple solutions”, “one problem multiple solutions” as a daily routine, play vital roles in Chinese curriculum and instruction rarely known in the West. Inspired by this interesting phenomenon and hot variation theory in HK from Ference Marton , Lo Mun Ling and his colleagues, I (with help of N.Y. Wong & C.C. Lam) tried to search and re-search Chinese own mathematics education practice and theory from variation perspective , including the significance of mathematics developed from variation practice (Sun, Wong, & Lam, 2007),its curriculum significance (Sun, Wong, & Lam, 2006), significance for Chinese curriculum reform (Sun, 2012), and its relationship to cultural background in Chinese mathematics education (Sun, 2011). The proposed curriculum framework as a summary of the studies above, spiral variation curriculum design (Sun, 2007; 2016) theorized the vital advantage of Chinese “indigenous” practice (Sun, 2018), I hope, would growingly contribute future practice and theory in curriculum and instruction in the world like Chinese foods. I currently serve as Co-chair of History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (HPM) 2020 – Satellite Meeting of ICME-14. I served co-chair of International Commission for Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) STUDY 23 primary mathematics education on whole number (a highly-praised output, Building the Foundation: Whole Numbers in the Primary Grades, which was downloaded 155 000 copies, the 25% of products by springer, ICMI STUDY23 VOLUME [ free download] http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319635545; ICMI STUDY 23 Conference proceedings ( free download). http://www.umac.mo/fed/ICMI23/proceedings.html; Website http://www.umac.mo/fed/ICMI23/). I serves as a leading co-Editor of special issues in ZDM - The International Journal on Mathematics Education (2019) https://link.springer.com/journal/11858. I was an invited speaker of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (Germany, 2016) and a co-chair of Task design and analysis (TSG31) of the 12th International Congress on Mathematical Education (Korea, 2012).
