Abstract

This study explored preservice secondary mathematics teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching [MKT]. In order to measure preservice teachers' MKT, we developed items according to Ball, Thames & Phelps (2008)'s domains and conducted to 53 preservice teachers. Also, we interviewed 1 preservice teacher with the items and a set of interview questions. The findings from the data analysis suggested as follows: a) overall, the preservice teachers scored average 30.2 out of 100; b) the preservice teachers appeared to be unable to explain students' difficulties in learning a specific mathematical idea and how they would respond to and resolve such difficulties.

이 연구에서는 중등 예비교사들의 교수를 위한 수학적 지식(Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching, 이하 MKT) 수준을 검증할 수 있는 문항 개발을 확장하여서 이를 적용한 측정을 통해 중등 예비수학교사들의 MKT 수준이 어떠한지 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 중학교 수준의 수학 영역에 대한 검사 문항을 개발하여 예비교사 54명을 상대로 검사를 실시하여 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 자료 분석 결과 예비교사들이 얻은 점수를 백점 만점으로 환산 시 검사지 총점의 평균은 30.2점으로 나타났는데, 예비교사들은 대체로 문항에서 나타내는 학습 내용에 관한 지식을 정확히 이해하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며 중등학생들이 어려워하는 부분과 이에 대한 정확한 설명 방법을 구체적으로 도입하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 교수 방법을 제시하고 설명하는 과정에서도 내용의 본질을 충분히 담지 못하며 학습자에 대해서도 일반적으로 관찰할 수 있는 특성을 기술하는 것으로 나타났다.
