A Study of the Effect on Mathematical Learning Achievement and Disposition in a Class Using Level Orientated Teaching Method

초등학생의 학급 내 수준별 수업을 통한 수학 학업성취도 및 수학적 성향 변화 연구

This research were to develop and apply an educational program for 6th grade students in mathematics by using level orientated teaching method and to make an analysis of their effects on students' mathematics learning achievements and mathematical disposition. Those purposes is following: First, we develop the level orientated teaching method that fits to the low level and high level students and analyze the effect on students' mathematics learning achievements. Second, we analyze the effect on students' mathematical disposition by using level orientated teaching method. The biggest problem of applying level orientated teaching method is that all the groups should do the meaningful activity while just one group is on process. So we tried to keep the proposition that level orientated teaching method should be helpful to both high and low level students. The duration of the research was about 8 weeks from march 2 to may 22 and the level orientated mathematics program consists in lesson 1 "a fraction and a decimal" to lesson 3 "The range of numbers". The results of this study are as follows : First, there was significant effect to the students, develop level orientated mathematics program and using that program. Second, there was an affirmative effect to the students about mathematical disposition using level orientated mathematics program. To sum up conclusion of this study, the level orientated mathematics program has an affirmative effect on mathematics learning achievements and mathematical disposition. We expect further research about level orientated teaching method and use effective level orientated teaching method widely.

급변하는 사회 환경에 따라 학교교육도 다양성을 추구하고 있는 가운데 교실 내에서도 획일적인 수업이 아니라 학생의 수준에 따라 교육과정을 편성하여 운영하도록 요구되는 추세이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초등학교 6학년 학급 내 기존의 수업방법에서 탈피하고, 개정 제7차 수학과 교육과정에서 강조하고 있는 수준별 수업을 현장에 적용하기 위해 실험집단을 상, 하 집단으로 편성하여 각 집단에 맞는 수준별 수업 프로그램을 구안하여 적용한 후, 수학 학업성취도 및 수학적 성향에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 이 연구는 개정 제7차 수학과 교육과정이 추구하는 목적을 사전에 적용하여 분석해 봄으로써 교실에서 수준별 수업의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
