Abstract

In this study, by analyzing of types and functions of questions presented in Data and Chance area of the mathematics textbooks for grades 1-6 of the 2015 revised curriculum, the characteristics of the questions presented in the textbook were identified, and implications for teaching and learning related to the questions in this textbook were obtained. Types and functions of the presented questions showed different proportions of appearance according to the grade clusters, and this seems to be related to the learning contents for each grade clusters and the characteristics of grade clusters. In addition, it can be seen that the functions of questions are related to the types of questions. Teachers should have pedagogical content knowledge about Data and Chance area as well as developmental characteristics for each grade clusters. In addition, the teacher should present an suitable question for the level of grade clusters and the nature of the content to be taught so that effective learning can be achieved based on the understanding of the characteristics and functional characteristics of each type of questions. The results of this study can contribute to statistical teaching in a progressive direction by providing a foundation for textbook writing and teaching/learning.

본 연구에서는 초등수학 교과서의 자료와 가능성 영역에 제시된 발문을 학년군별로 비교 분석하여 발문의 특성을 파악하였다. 연구 결과 학년군별로 교과서에 제시된 발문의 유형 및 기능별 출현 비율이 서로 다르게 나타났으며, 이는 학년군별 학습 내용 및 학년군의 특성과 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. 또한 발문의 기능은 발문의 유형과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 초등수학의 자료와 가능성 영역 지도 시 발문 사용에 대한 교수·학습상의 기초를 제공하여 발전적인 방향으로 통계교육이 이루어지는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
