Abstract

The purpose of this study was to gain insights into investigating the feasibility on integrating computational thinking(CT) into school mathematics. Definitions and the components of CT were varied among studies. In this study, CT in mathematics was focused on thinking related with mathematical problem solving under ICT supportive environment where computing tools are available to students to solve problems and verify their answers. The focus is not given on the computing environment itself but on CT in mathematics education. For integrating CT into mathematical problem solving, providing computing environment, understanding of tools and supportive curriculum revisions for integration are essential. Coding with language specially developed for mathematics education such as LOGO, and solving realistic mathematical problems using S/W such as Excel in mathematics classrooms, or integrating CT into math under STEAM contexts are suggested for integration CT into math education. Several conditions for the integration were discussed in this paper.

본 연구는 21세기 필수 능력으로 거론되는 계산적 사고의 의미를 살펴보고, 수학교과에서 CT 교육의 가능성 여부와 그 선행 조건을 탐색할 목적으로 수행되었다. 선행연구를 통해 컴퓨터, 학교교육, 수학교육에서의 CT의 정의와 구성 요소를 조사하였으며 본 연구에서는 수학교과에서 CT를 수학적 문제해결 관련 사고로 보았다. CT-컴퓨팅(컴퓨터 활용)-수학교육 세 영역 사이의 관계 고찰에서 컴퓨팅환경에서 유용한 CT이나 수학교육에는 포함되지 않는 영역에 주목하였다. CT와 수학교육의 통합논의에서는 컴퓨터가 전통적 수학교육의 보조 수단으로 허용되는 우리나라 수학교육 현황을 고려할 때, '컴퓨팅 환경에서의 수학적 문제해결'에 주목할 필요가 있다고 보았다. 수학교육에서 CT 교육은 컴퓨팅 환경 조성을 전제로 수학교과에서 수학 관련 과제에 해결을 위한 코딩, 문제해결, STEAM 교육 맥락에서 수학과 CT의 통합을 제시하였으며 이를 위하여 CT 통합을 지원하는 수학교육과정 마련 등 제반 조건을 논의하였다.
