Abstract
This study was conducted to confirm the necessity of analogical thinking and to empirically verify the effectiveness of analogical reasoning through the visual representation by analyzing the factors of problem solving depending on analogical conditions. Four conditions (a visual representation mapping condition, a conceptual mapping condition, a retrieval hint condition and no hint condition) were set up for the above purpose and 80 twelfth-grade students from C high-School in Cheong-Ju, Chung-Buk participated in the present study as subjects. They solved the same mathematical problem about sequence of complex numbers in their differed process requirements for analogical transfer. The problem solving rates for each condition were analyzed by Chi-square analysis using SPSS 12.0 program. The results of this study indicate that retrieval of base knowledge is restricted when participants do not use analogy intentionally in problem solving and the mapping of the base and target concepts through the visual representation would be closely related to successful analogical transfer. As the results of this study offer, analogical thinking is necessary while solving mathematical problems and it supports empirically the conclusion that recognition of the relational similarity between base and target concepts by the aid of visual representation is closely associated with successful problem solving.
본 연구는 유추 조건에 따른 수학적 문제 해결 양상을 분석하여 유추적 사고의 필요성을 확인하고, 시각적 표상을 통한 유추의 효과를 경험적으로 검증하기 위하여 실시되었다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 충청북도 청주시에 소재한 일반계 고등학교인 C고등학교 3학년 학생 80명을 연구 대상자로 선정하였다. 이들은 유추 상황에 따라 설정된 표상 대응 조건, 개념 대응 조건, 탐색 조건과 비 유추조건인 단순조건에 각각 20명씩 배정되었으며, 1차 실험과 2차 실험에서 각 조건에 따라 서로 다른 학습 자극을 받은 후에 복소수 수열과 관련된 동일한 문제를 풀었다. SPSS 12.0을 이용한
