Abstract

In this study, we tried to find out the level of inductive reasoning ability and the aspects of visualization components shown in students in the class using exploratory software for the 'congruence and symmetry' unit in the second semester of the 5th grade of elementary school. To this end, classes using GeoGebra, one of the exploratory software, were conducted for a total of 19 students in one class of fifth graders in elementary school, and the results of the students' activities were analyzed. As a result of this study, the level of inductive reasoning ability of students remained at a similar level or developed, and it was shown that students inferred new properties of shapes using various functions of software inductively. In addition, in terms of visualization, students were able to quickly and easily draw shapes that met the conditions, and unlike the paper-and-pencil environment, using the 'measurement' and 'symmetry' functions, they transformed and manipulated complex yet precisely congruent and symmetrical external representations. Based on these analysis results, implications for the use of exploratory software in the area of figures were derived.

본 연구에서는 초등학교 5학년 2학기 '합동과 대칭' 단원을 대상으로 탐구형 소프트웨어를 활용한 수업에서 학생들에게서 나타난 귀납적 추론 능력의 수준과 시각화 구성 요소의 양상이 어떠한지 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 초등학교 5학년 1개 반, 총 19명을 대상으로 탐구형 소프트웨어 중 GeoGebra를 활용한 합동과 대칭 수업을 진행하고 학생들의 활동 결과물을 중심으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 학생들의 귀납적 추론 능력 수준이 비슷한 수준을 유지하거나 발전되는 형태로 나타났고 학생들이 소프트웨어의 다양한 기능을 활용하여 도형의 새로운 성질을 귀납적으로 추론하는 모습이 나타났다. 또한 시각화 측면에서 학생들이 조건에 맞는 도형을 빠르고 쉽게 그릴 수 있었고 지필 환경과는 다르게 '측정', '대칭' 기능을 활용하여 복잡하면서도 정확히 합동과 대칭인 외적 표상을 변형, 조작하는 모습이 나타났다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 도형 영역에서 탐구형 소프트웨어의 활용에 대한 시사점을 도출하였다.
