Abstract

The 2015 revised mathematics curriculum specified software education as a mandatory curriculum amid a trend in which the software environment was extended to daily life due to the fourth industrial revolution. It also calls for a paradigm shift in lessons that incorporate learning and evaluation by specifying a process-oriented assessment. This study focused on addition and subtraction classes based on computational thinking skills that integrate mathematics learning and evaluation. Two fourth grade classes of elementary schools in Seoul were selected to conduct a pre- and post- test of metacognition and mathematics achievement through quantitative research. Also, a mixed study was conducted to analyze students' activities and opinions in parallel. The results of the study confirmed that the computational thinking-based classes, which incorporate mathematics learning and evaluation, had a positive effect on the metacognition of elementary school students and the improvement of their achievement scores. In addition to those identified in this study, further studies on other factors are proposed.

제 4차 산업 혁명으로 인하여 일상생활까지 소프트웨어 환경이 확장되는 흐름 속에서 2015 개정 교육과정은 소프트웨어 교육을 의무 교육으로 명시하였다. 또한, 과정중심평가를 명시함으로써 학습과 평가가 통합된 수업의 패러다임 변환을 강조하고 있다. 본 연구는 수학 학습과 평가를 통합한 컴퓨팅 사고력 기반의 수업을 초등학교 4학년 소수의 덧셈과 뺄셈을 중심으로 설계하였다. 서울시내 초등학교의 4학년 두 학급을 선정하여 양적 연구로 메타인지와 수학학업성취도의 사전사후 검사를 실시하고, 학생들의 활동지와 소감문을 분석하는 질적 연구를 병행하는 혼합연구를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 수학 학습과 평가를 통합한 컴퓨팅 사고력 기반의 수업은 초등학생들의 메타인지와 수학학업성취도의 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.
