The Effects of Using Learning-Notebook on Mathematics Learning Achievements, Mathematical Attitude and Reactions

수학 노트를 활용한 학습활동이 수학 학업 성취도, 수학적 태도 및 반응에 미치는 영향

This study purposes to examine the learning achievements, attitude and reactions of elementary school students in fifth grade in mathematics after inducing to use of learning-notebook on mathematics. To achieve the purpose, this study focuses on the following matters. First, we develop the ways to write thoughts and activities in solving problems on learning-notebook for elementary school student in fifth grade. Second, we analyze the effects of the students' learning achievements after applying the ways to them in every mathematics learning activities at home and in school, etc. Third, this study examine the attitudes and reactions of the students toward mathematics after observing the learning activities and interviewing them. The results are summarized as follows. First, using learning-notebook helps to improve the performance of students. The average point of the final examination went up to 90.67 while the average of the first level test was 70.75. And almost each student's result have improved. Second, the interviews with the students show that they feel sense of accomplishment, their mathematical attitude has changed to be positive, and they've actively participated in class by using the learning-notebook. The students felt confidence and achievement and they were more interested in studying mathematics when they use the learning-notebook. Further, the students used the notes in doing their homework and at home studying. Finally, the learning-notebook had a good influence on the relationships between students and teachers. Moreover, learning-notebook serves as a medium that connects teacher and student's work.

본 연구는 초등학교 소수의 학생들에게 모든 수학 학습 활동에서 학습노트를 적극적으로 활용하도록 유도하는 가운데 지필검사, 관찰 및 면담을 통해 수학 학업 성취도 및 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보며 학생들 반응의 변화를 살펴보는 양적 연구와 질적 연구를 병행하였다. 이를 위해 다음과 같은 연구문제를 설정하였다. 첫째, 사교육이 없는 N초등학교 5학년 9명을 대상으로 자신의 생각이나 문제해결 활동을 할 수 있는 수학 노트 쓰는 방법을 고안하고, 둘째, 개발한 수학 노트 쓰기를 모든 수학 학습 활동에 활용한 후 수학 학업 성취도 및 태도에 미치는 영향을 분석하며, 셋째, 수학 노트 쓰기를 지속하는 과정에서 학생들의 수학에 대한 반응 등의 변화를 살펴본다.
