Implementation effects of the Realistic Mathematics Education in Bigh School Probability and Statistics

고등학교 확률과 통계 영역에서 현실적 수학교육의 적용 효과1)

This research aims to analyse implementation effects of the Real mathematics Education(RME) in the high school probability and statistics For this aim, two research questions are estabilished as fellows. (1) Is there any improvement of mathematical achievement in the class by RME's lecture than in the class by the mathematics text's lecture ? (2) Is there any improvement of mathematisation level in the class by RME's lecture than in the class by the mathematics text's lecture ? Before answering the above research questions, RME.`s lecture notes and ordinary lecture notes are developed based on the learning principles of the RME and mathematics textbook respectively. Two classes are randomly chosen from a high school located at midium size city and assigned as the experimental group and the control group respectively. The 20 hours of the RME's lecture notes is administerd to the experimental group and the 20 hours of the odinary lecture notes is administerd to the control group. It is shown that the class by RME's lecture is more effective in both of the mathematical achievement and the mathematisation activity than the class by the ordinary lecture. Hence, it is urged from the result of this research that RME's context will be developed and the RME's lecture will be implemented in the other field of high school mathematics.
