Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the effects of mathematics classes using engineering tools on students' mathematics academic achievement and mathematics learning attitude, focusing on the basic figure and drawing sections of the first grade of middle school. Eighty students of first-grade at H Middle School in South Gyeongsang province were divided into two groups, taking a total of six weeks of classes using engineering tools(Algeomath) and traditional tools, and covariate analysis(ANCOVA) was used to analyze students' mathematics academic achievements and changes in mathematical learning attitude. The analysis found that classes using engineering tools were effective in students' mathematics academic achievements and attitude of learning math. Based on the results of the study, the necessity of utilizing various engineering tools in the future secondary school math class and the prospect and implications of the classes were discussed.

본 연구는 중학교 1학년 기본도형과 작도 단원을 중심으로 공학적 도구를 활용한 수학 수업이 학생들의 수학 학업 성취도와 수학 학습 태도에 미치는 효과를 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위해 경남 소재 H중학교 1학년 학생 80명을 두 집단으로 구분하여 공학적 도구(Algeomath)를 활용한 수업과 전통적인 교구를 사용한 판서 수업을 총 6주간에 걸쳐 진행하였으며, 학생들의 수학 학업 성취도와 수학적 성향 변화를 분석하기 위해 공변량분석(ANCOVA)을 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 공학적 도구를 활용한 수업이 학생들의 수학 학업 성취도와 수학 학습 태도에 효과가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 연구 결과를 바탕으로 향후 중등학교 수학 수업에서 다양한 공학적 도구 활용의 필요성과 수업의 전망 및 시사점을 논의하였다.
