초록

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 교사가 수학 교과서 과제를 수학적 모델링 과제로 변형하는 과정에서 경험하는 어려움과 수학적 모델링 과제 개발을 위한 지식 변화의 사례를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 10년 경력의 초등교사가 교사연구공동체의 반복적인 논의에 참여하면서 초등학교 5학년 수학의 자료와 규칙성 영역 중 평균 지도를 위한 과제를 수학적 모델링 과제로 변형하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 교사는 과제 변형 과정에서 현실성의 반영, 수학적 모델링 과제의 적절한 인지적 수준 설정, 수학적 모델링 과정에 따른 세부 과제의 제시에 어려움을 겪었다. 둘째, 반복된 과제 변형을 통해, 교사는 학습 내용과 학생의 인지적 수준을 고려한 현실성 있는 과제의 개발, 과제의 복잡성 및 개방성 조정을 통한 과제의 인지적 수준 조정, 학생의 과제 해결 과정에 대한 사고실험을 통한 수학적 모델링 과정에 따른 세부 과제의 제시를 수행할 수 있었으며, 이는 수학적 모델링의 개념과 과제의 특징 등 수학적 모델링 과제 개발을 위해 요구되는 교사 지식이 향상되었음 보여준다. 본 연구결과는 향후 수학적 모델링 교사교육과 관련하여, 교과서 과제 변형을 통한 수학적 모델링 과제 개발 역량 향상의 기회를 제공하는 교사교육, 수학적 모델링의 이론 및 실제를 결합한 교사교육, 교사연구공동체에의 참여를 통한 교사교육이 필요함을 보여준다.

This study analyzed the difficulties and mathematical modeling knowledge improvement that an elementary school teacher experienced in modifying a mathematics textbook task to a mathematical modeling task. To this end, an elementary school teacher with 10 years of experience participated in teacher-researcher community's repeated discussions and modified the average task in the data and pattern domain of the 5th grade. The results are as followings. First, in the process of task modification, the teacher had difficulties in reflecting reality, setting the appropriate cognitive level of mathematical modeling tasks, and presenting detailed tasks according to the mathematical modeling process. Second, through repeated task modifications, the teacher was able to develop realistic tasks considering the mathematical content knowledge and students' cognitive level, set the cognitive level of the task by adjusting the complexity and openness of the task, and present detailed tasks through thought experiments on students' task-solving process, which shows that teachers' mathematical modeling knowledge, including the concept of mathematical modeling and the characteristics of the mathematical modeling task, has improved. The findings of this study suggest that, in terms of the mathematical modeling teacher education, it is necessary to provide teachers with opportunities to improve their mathematical modeling task development competency through textbook task modification rather than direct provision of mathematical modeling tasks, experience mathematical modeling theory and practice together, and participate in teacher-researcher communities.
