Abstract
Currently science and technology are changing so fast and college mathematics becomes more and more important. But the downturn of freshmen's scholastic performance has been intensified and this phenomenon leads to serious problems in managing college curriculums. During the recent years at a middle level engineering college, many freshmen had a lot of difficulties in their mathematics courses. In consequence, many of them had hard time to survive at their major curriculums. In this point of view, we analyse the situation of mathematical scholastic ability among engineering majored freshmen through the research on the actual state of mathematical background, mathematical scholastic ability test, college mathematics scores, and scholastic aptitude test scores. We study the relation between the mathematics score of scholastic aptitude test for the college entrance and mathematical scholastic ability of freshmen of a middle level engineering college. From this study we conclude that the essential reasons for the above situations are the curriculum of middle school mathematics and the system of scholastic aptitude test and the entrance examination of university. In order for improving mathematical accomplishment. we give suggestions such as a learning ability improvement program in mathematics.
최근 공과대학 학생들에게 대학수학의 중요성이 부각되고 있는 반면, 제7차 수학과교육과정의 인문계 수학에는 미분적분이 포함되어 있지 않고, 많은 중위권 대학의 입학전형에서 교차지원을 허용하기 때문에 공과대학 대학수학의 교수학습에서 많은 어려움이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 중위권 공과대학 신입생들의 수학 기초학력과 대학수학능력시험수리영역 성적의 관계를 조사하여 교차지원을 허용하는 입학전형 제도의 문제점을 실증적으로 밝히는데 그 의의를 두었으며, 이를 위하여 2010학년도 A대학교 공과대학 신입생들을 대상으로 대학수학능력시험 수리영역 성적과 수학 기초학력평가 및 대학수학 교과목의 성적을 비교 분석하였다.
