Abstract

Current up-to-date courses of study put emphasis on raising creative students. However, the cramming methods of teaching mathematics in the school seems far from the creativity and the number of students who feels mathematics difficult is increasing. To overcome this situation, the government proposed 'the mathematics education using storytelling', which leads to lots of developments of mathematics using serious game in many areas. However most of the current serious games couldn't do away with the deductive framework of mathematics, which makes it impossible to achieve the purpose of raising creative students. This is because existing mathematics serious games have not deeply contemplated many aspects such as the purpose and theories of teaching and teaching mathematics. Therefore, in order to overcome the limitations of cramming methods in existing mathematics educations, this research proposes the new method of developing serious game contents for elementary geometry that is useful to improve mathematical intuition, based on RME, the theory of teaching/learning mathematics.

현재의 최신 교육과정은 창의적인 인재를 육성하는데 중점을 두고 있다. 하지만 학교에서 실제로 진행되고 있는 수학 교육은 창의성과 거리가 먼 주입식 교육으로 진행되어, 수학을 어렵게 여기는 학생들이 늘어나고 있다. 정부는 이러한 상황을 극복하기 위해 '스토리텔링을 활용한 수학 교육'을 제안하였으며, 이에 게임을 활용한 수학 교육이 다방면에서 연구 개발되고 있다. 그러나 현재 대부분의 교육용 기능성게임들은 연역적 체계를 중시하는 현재의 수학 교육을 탈피하지 못하여, 창의성을 기른다는 목표를 이루지 못하고 있다. 이는 기존의 수학 교육용 기능성 게임들이 수학과목에 대한 목표와 수학 교수 학습이론을 깊이 고찰하지 않았기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 기존의 수학교육이 지닌 주입식 교육의 한계를 넘어서기 위해 수학 교수 학습이론인 RME를 기반이론으로 하여 게임 요소를 활용한 수학적 직관 향상을 위한 초등 기하 교육용 게임 콘텐츠를 개발하는 방법론을 제시하고자 한다.
