Abstract

To improve elementary mathematics education teaching and learning method and environment, the survey of elementary school students' attitude toward mathematics and their images on mathematician was conducted to mathematically gifted students and non-gifted students of 6th grade of elementary school. The study results show that mathematically gifted elementary students have deeper understanding of mathematician and their works than non-gifted students. But they are not enthusiastic to be a mathematician. On average, awareness of domestic mathematician is turned to be significantly low. And most students don't know well of mathematician. Since this study was applied to the limited range of objects, significant results were not shown in external and internal image of mathematician. Thus, the future study needs to generalize the study results by compensating this defect and developing various materials to improve students' attitude toward mathematics and images of mathematician.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 초등수학영재와 일반학생의 수학에 대한 태도와 수학자에 대한 인식을 조사 비교하여 수학 교과 및 수학자에 대한 인식 개선을 위한 계기를 마련하고자 하는 것이다. 조사 결과 초등수학영재가 일반학생보다 수학자에 대해 좀 더 많이 알고 있었지만 미래에 수학자가 되고 싶은지에 대한 질문에는 적극적이지 않았다. 전체적으로 수학자에 대한 인식이 부족하였고, 특히 국내 수학자에 대한 인식이 많이 부족하였다. 따라서 학생들의 수학자에 대한 인식을 높이고 수학에 대한 긍정적인 태도를 가지도록 교육과정 상 학생들이 수학과 수학자를 긍정적으로 인식하기 위한 정서적 처치와 관련 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
