Abstract

This is an in-dept case study that extract the problems showing remarkable gender gap in 6th graders and analyze the difference between boys and girls in the process of problem solving. This study can be summarized as the following. First, according to the result of basic study, the parts are divided into measurement, probability and statistics and regularity. And then test problems and face-to-face talk contents are developed. Second, the distinct features between boys and girls, follow-up study and face-to-face talk. As a result, five characteristics of gender gap are selected. Through the results of this study, the improvement of teaching & learning development and evaluation considering gender is expected in the classrooms of elementary schools.

본 연구는 초등학교 6학년에서 남녀 차가 두드러진 문항을 추출하고, 이 문항에 대한 문제해결 과정에 대한 남녀 간 차이에 대한 심층 분석 사례 연구이다. 지난해의 기초연구에서 얻은 결과를 바탕으로 측정 영역, 확률과 통계 영역, 규칙성 영역으로 구분하여 검사문항을 개발하고, 사전검사, 사후검사, 면담을 통해 남녀 성별에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 이 분석을 통해 초등학교 교실에서 성차를 고려한 교수-학습 전개 및 평가의 개선을 기대한다.
