Abstract

This study analyzed Korean studies up to August 2023 to suggest the direction of future research on basic academic abilities in mathematics. For this purpose, frequency analysis and LDA-based topic modeling were conducted on the Korean abstracts of 197 domestic studies. The results showed that, first, 'academic achievement', 'impact', 'effect', and 'factors' were all ranked at the top of the TFs and TF-IDFs. Second, as a result of LDA-based topic modeling, five topics were identified: causes of basic academic abilities deficiency, learning status of math underachievers, teacher expertise in teaching math underachievers, supporting programs for math underachievers, and results of National Assessment of Educational Achievement. As a direction for future research, this study suggests focusing on the growth of math underachievers, systematizing the programs provided to students who need learning support in mathematics, and developing teacher expertise in teaching math underachievers.

본 연구는 수학 교과에서 기초학력 및 학습부진에 관련한 연구가 나아갈 방향을 제안하고자 2023년 8월까지의 국내 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 국내 연구 197편의 국문 초록을 자료로 수집하여 빈도 분석 및 LDA 기반 토픽모델링을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, TF 및 TF-IDF 기준으로 '학업성취', '영향', '효과', '변인'은 모두 상위권에 위치하였다. 둘째, LDA 기반 토픽모델링을 실시한 결과, 기초학력 미달 발생 원인, 수학 학습부진학생의 학습 실태, 수학 학습부진학생 지도 교사의 전문성, 수학 학습부진학생 지원 프로그램, 국가수준 학업성취도 평가 결과로 5개 토픽이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 향후 수학 교과의 기초학력 및 학습부진에 관한 연구가 나아가야 할 방향으로 학습부진학생의 성장에 초점을 둔 연구, 수학 교과에서 학습지원을 필요로 하는 학생에게 제공하는 프로그램을 체계화하는 연구, 수학 교과에서 학습지원대상학생을 지도하기 위한 교사의 전문성 신장에 관한 연구 등을 제안하였다.
