Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematics self-efficacy test tool for elementary school students based on the sub-factors of mathematical self-efficacy derived from current studies. In this study, I verified the validity and reliability of the test tool by statistically evaluating the results of applying the test tool to the 3rd-6th grade students. In this study, Principal Component Analysis was performed on the tool for measuring the self efficacy of mathematics for elementary school students. For the validity test, the mathematics anxiety status of the participants was measured. The mathematics anxiety who were known to have a negative correlation with the mathematical self efficacy. The mathematics self efficacy tool developed in this study consists of 16 items with three subcategories: master experience, social persuasions, and emotional and physiological state. The mathematical self efficacy test tool developed in this study is expected to provide grounds for diagnosing the mathematics self-efficacy status of elementary school students and looking for ways to improve it.

본 연구의 목표는 초등학교 3~6학년 학생을 대상으로 하는 수학 자기 효능감 검사 도구를 개발하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 문헌연구에서 도출된 수학 자기 효능감 하위 요인을 중심으로 검사 도구 문항을 개발하였다. 이 후 개발된 문항을 초등학교 3-6학년 학생들로 구성된 연구 참여자에게 적용하여 설문 결과를 통계적으로 분석하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 주성분분석(Principal Component Analysis)을 이용해 설문 도구의 신뢰도를 검증하였다. 타당도 검증을 위해서는 수학 자기 효능감과 음의 상관관계가 있는 수학 불안 상태를 별도로 측정하여, 본 연구에서 개발한 측정도구와의 관계를 통계적 방법으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 초등학생의 수학 자기 효능감 검사도구는 향후 초등학생의 수학 자기 효능감 상태를 진단하고, 이를 토대로 수학 자기 효능감를 증진시키는 방안을 모색하는데 기초 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.
