Abstract

The purpose of this study was to specify knowledge and skills that are expected to be learned by students worldwide at the elementary level of Mathematics. This was achieved by extracting knowledge and skills commonly expected to know and perform in elementary school level by analyzing elementary math curriculum of twelve countries that vary geographically and economically. Based on the data gathered and analyzed, the common domains extracted from this study in elementary level Mathematics include Number and Operations, Geometry, Measurement and Data. And knowledge and skills that children are expected to achieve in each domain by the end of primary school were listed. This research showed that for elementary level Mathematics, the majority of the curricula had the commonalities in Number and Operations, Geometry, Measurement and Data. Though this study had the limitations of analyzing curriculum documents open to public, this study will offer the ground for discussion on the elementary mathematics education in a global context.

국제사회는 세계 모든 아동이 달성해야 할 학습성과를 설정하고 이를 측정하려는 일련의 노력을 기울이고 있다. 연구진은 이러한 국제사회의 관점에 초점을 맞추어, 초등교육단계에서 세계 모든 아동이 달성해야 할 수학 학습성과란 무엇인가를 구체화하려고 하였다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구는 범세계적으로 초등교육 단계에서 아동이 성취하기를 기대하는 수학 내용 요소를 추출하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 지리적, 경제적 특성을 고려하여 세계 12개국의 수학과 교육과정 문서를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 초등교육의 범위를 초등학교 6학년까지라고 가정할 수 있었고, 공통 내용 요소를 추출할 수 있었다. 특히 수와 연산 영역의 내용 요소들은 범세계적으로 동일한 수준인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 기하, 측정, 대수 영역에서도 유사한 수준으로 내용 요소들이 나타났다. 반면, 비례와 대수는 초등 교육 마지막 단계에서 다루어지는 내용이지만 공통 내용 영역 혹은 내용 요소로 보기에 한계가 있었다. 이 연구 결과는 범세계적으로 초등 교육을 논의하는데 중요한 기초 자료 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.
