초록

유추는 익숙한 문제(바탕문제)의 해결방법을 활용하여 유사한 문제(표적문제)를 해결하는 문제해결 전략이다. 본 연구의 목적은 유추적 사고의 관점에서 지리적 문제상황을 새롭게 인식하고, 나아가 지역학습, 그래픽을 활용한 문제해결, 사례학습을 통한 개념/기능 습득에 유용한 교수 학습 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 유추의 의미를 파악하고, 유추 관련 이론들을 통해 유추의 발생 매커니즘과 성공적인 유추적 문제해결의 조건을 논의하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 공간적 유추 아이디어는 지역학습을 조직하는 유용한 방법을 제공할 수 있다. 특히, 지리적 내용지식과 시 공간적 사고를 동시에 요구하는 공간적 유추는 영역특수적 문제해결 전략으로서 가능성을 갖고 있다. 둘째, 그래픽을 활용한 문제해결의 전이를 의미하는 표상전이는 정보의 시각화, 공간화를 필요로 하는 지리적 문제를 해결하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 셋째, 표면적으로는 다르지만 공통의 내적구조를 갖는 유사한 사례들을 제시한 후 비교 분석하게 하거나, 가교 역할의 사례를 제시하는 방법은 지리적 개념, 기능의 습득에 유용하다. 결론에서는 유추 관련 지리교육 분야의 연구 주제와 이러한 연구가 갖는 중요성을 제시하였다.

Analogical thinking is a problem-solving strategy to use a familiar problem (or base analog) to solve a novel problem of the same type (the target problem). The purpose of this study is to provide new insight into geography teaching and learning by connecting cognitive science research on analogical thinking with issues of geography education and suggest that teaching with analogies can be a productive instructional strategy for geography. In this study, using the various examples of analogical thinking used in geography we defined analogical thinking, addressed the theoretical models on analogical transfer, and discussed conditions that make an effective analogical transfer. The major research findings include the following: a) the spatial analogy, indicating skills to find places that may be far apart but have similar locations, and therefore have other similar conditions and/or connections, can provide a useful way to design contents for place learning; b) representational transfer, specifying a common representation for two problems, can play a key role in solving geographic problems requiring data visualization and spatialization processes; and c) either asking learners to compare/analyze similar examples sharing common structure or providing them examples bridging the gap between concrete, real-life phenomena and the ideas and models can contribute to learning in geographic concepts and skills. The spatial analogy requiring both geographic content knowledge and visual/spatial thinking has the potential to become a content-specific problem-solving strategy. We ended with recommendations for future research on analogy that is important in geography education.
