Abstract

This study explore the features of mathematical tasks as an effective means to foster pre-service primary teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching and develop mathematical task for pre-service primary teachers. As a result, prospective teachers have while solving a mathematical task, converting a given situation to a mathematical problem, and solve problems through connections with existing knowledge, and experience seeing the existing mathematical concepts from a new perspective. Finally, we discussed the conditions for a suitable mathematical task in teacher education.

본 연구는 초등 예비교사에게 필요한 수학지식을 가르치는 효과적인 수단으로서 수학적 과제의 특징을 논의하고 그에 맞게 과제를 설계하고 교사교육에 실행한 사례를 제시하였다. 그 결과 예비교사들은 '격자점 정삼각형 만들기' 라는 수학적 과제를 해결하면서, 주어진 상황을 수학적 문제로 변환하고 기존 지식과의 연결을 통해 문제를 변형하고 해결하며, 기존의 수학적 개념을 새로운 관점에서 보는 경험을 할 수 있었다. 이러한 경험이 예비교사의 교육에 대한 관점의 변화와 어떻게 연결되는지 그리고 교사교육에 적합한 수학적 과제 설계를 위한 조건에 대해 논의하였다.
