Abstract

This study investigates significant factors in mathematical learning and examines the inter-grade and gender-based differences of elementary students. Five factors that are counted to affect the view of mathematical learning are (1) confidence, (2) utility, (3) aversion, (4) practical ability, and (5) traditional view of mathematical learning. The factor analyses on third graders and sixth graders each illustrate the features of inter-grade factors. The result also indicates that the factors may vary depending on the traits and circumstances of students surveyed. Third graders are more likely to be positive compared to sixth graders in terms of confidence and practical ability, which calls for implementing 'doing mathematics' and reinforcing the method of mathematical learning in the general educational field.

본 논문에서는 초등학생을 대상으로 수학관의 요인을 규명하고, 이들 하위 요인에 대해 학년 및 성별 차이를 알아보았다. 수학관의 하위요인들로는 자신감, 유용성, 수학의 거부감, 활용능력, 전통적 수학 학습관이라는 5개의 하위 요인으로 설명되어진다. 그리고 3학년, 6학년 각각을 대상으로 수학관에 대한 요인분석을 실시하여 학년 간 요인의 특성을 알아보았다. 분석 결과 요인들은 조사대상자가 처한 상황과 특성에 따라 다를 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 3학년이 6학년보다 자신감과 활용능력 측면에서 보다 긍정적임을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 곧 현장의 수학교육은 수학함이 실행되고, 수학 학습 방법을 강화하여 지도하는 것이 필요함을 시사하는 것임을 알 수 있다.
