Abstract

In this study, I explored the possibility of using ChatGPT math education. For this purpose, students' problem-solving outputs and conversation data between pre-service teachers and a student were selected as an analysis case. A case was analyzed using ChatGPT and compared with the results of mathematics education experts. The results that ChatGPT analyzed students' problem-solving strategies and mathematical thinking skills were similar to those of math education experts. ChatGPT was able to analyze teacher questions with evaluation criteria, and the results were similar to those of math education experts. ChatGPT could also respond with mathematical theory as a source of evaluation criteria. These results demonstrate the potential of ChatGPT to analyze students' thinking and teachers' practice in mathematics education. However, there are limitations in properly applying the evaluation criteria or providing inaccurate information, so the further review of the derived information is required.

본 연구는 수학교육에서 ChatGPT의 활용 가능성을 탐색하기 위해 분수 문제에 대한 학생의 산출물과 예비교사와 학생과의 담화 자료를 사례로 선정하여 ChatGPT를 통해 분석하고 수학교육전문가의 분석 결과와 비교하였다. 학생 자료는 학생의 문제해결 전략과 수학적 사고를 분석했으며 예비교사 자료는 예비교사의 발문이 학생의 반응을 토대로 이루어지는지 그리고 발문이 수학적 사고를 이끌어내는지를 평가 기준으로 선정하고 ChatGPT에게 분석을 요청하였다. ChatGPT의 분석 결과, 학생 자료에 대한 분석 결과는 수학교육전문가의 분석 결과와 유사하게 나타났으며 예비교사 자료는 유사점과 차이점이 함께 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 수학교육에서 ChatGPT의 활용 가능성과 시사점을 도출하였다.
