Abstract

Several previous studies suggested that simulation could be a main didactic instrument in overcoming misconception and probability modeling. However, they have not described enough how to reorganize probability knowledge as knowledge to be taught in a curriculum using simulation. The purpose of this study is to identify the theoretical knowledge needed in developing a didactic transposition method of probability knowledge using simulation. The theoretical knowledge needed to develop this method was specified as follows : pseudo-contextualization/pseudo-personalization, and pseudo-decontextualization/pseudo-deper-sonalization according to the introductory purposes of simulation. As a result, this study developed a local instruction theory and an hypothetical learning trajectory for overcoming misconceptions and modeling situations respectively. This study summed up educational intention, which was designed to transform probability knowledge into didactic according to the introductory purposes of simulation, into curriculum, lesson plans, and experimental teaching materials to present didactic ideas for new probability education programs in the high school probability curriculum.

확률 교육과 관련된 선행 연구들은 시뮬레이션을 통해 확률 오개념을 극복할 수 있으며 확률 모델링 능력을 향상시킬 수 있다고 밝힌 바 있다. 그러나 확률 오개념 극복과 확률 모델링 능력 향상을 목적으로 학교 교육과정에 시뮬레이션을 도입하고자 할 때, 확률 지식을 가르칠 지식으로 재구성하는 방식에 대한 구체적이고 종합적인 연구는 이루어지지 않았다. 이 연구에서는 확률 오개념 극복 교수학적 상황과 확률 모델링 교수학적 상황 구성에 필요한 교수학적 의도와 세부적인 설정 계획을 국소적 수업 이론과 가설 학습 경로의 형태로 구체화하였다.
