Abstract

The elementary school curriculum includes some statistical concepts and many graphical methods. However, statistical concepts are difficult to understand; consequently, many of those graphs and numerical summaries are obtained by hand. We develop an intuitive statistics education package called Tong-Gramy focused on 5-8 graders to help students and teachers study statistics. This software covers numerical and graphical statistics that appear in 5-8 graders' textbooks. The graphs provided are dynamically linked to data and every graph is linked to every datum. The graphs of Tong-Gramy are dynamic graphs and morphing technology is used where applicable.

초중등 교과과정에 기본적인 통계 개념과 다양한 그래프가 사용된다. 하지만 통계적 개념은 이해하기 쉽지 않으며 사용된 그래프는 손으로 구현하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 그래프 및 수치요약을 직관적으로 할 수 있는 교육용 통계 패키지 '통그라미'를 개발하여 학생 및 교사에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 통그라미는 초중등학교 교과서에 나오는 그래프 및 수치요약을 포함하였다. 그래프는 동적 연결을 통하여 원자료와 연결되었으며, 원자료도 그래프에 연동하였다. 통그라미의 모든 그래프는 동적 그래프이며, 적용 가능한 경우 모핑 기법을 사용하였다.
