A Learning Model for Improvement in Learning Mathematics through Cooperative Group Activities in High School

활동중심의 협력학습을 통한 고등학교 수학수업의 개선사례 연구

Today most of Korean students have no interest in mathematics and lack of confidence in it due to the burden of the college entrance examination, which often results in a failure or a dropout in mathematics in school. Therefore there is a need to diagnose the true causes and to find out a solution. As one of these solutions this study has developed and applied a learning model based upon cooperative group activities for the improvement of mathematical power to classroom. For developing this learning model a variety of research methods are used; questionnaires, observation, and analysis of the interview materials. After the application of this learning model, a lot of positive results in mathematics class have been observed.

본 논문은 입시교육에 치중함으로써 흥미나 자신감을 잃고 학습 결손이 누적되어 학습을 포기하는 학생들이 속출하는 인문계 고등학교에서 수학에 대한 인식 및 이해실태를 정확히 진단한 후, 도출된 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방안으로 활동중심의 교수-학습 방법을 구안ㆍ적용하였다. 설문조사와 참여관찰평가, 인터뷰 자료의 분석 결과, 수학수업의 긍정적 변화를 알 수 있었다.
