Abstract

This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review on collaborative learning research in elementary and secondary mathematics education in Korea, explore various characteristics related to the research, and discuss areas for improvement. To achieve this, this study presents a protocol for analyzing research in mathematics education with a focus on collaboration and cooperation, following a systematic literature review methodology. Then analyze the selected studies based on the themes derived from the protocol. As a result of the systematic literature review, research characteristics on collaborative learning were categorized into eight main themes: keywords, small group composition methods, sampling methods, sample size, analysis methods, analytical frameworks, domains of educational goal, and collaborative mathematical competencies in collaborative learning. The research findings revealed several key points: First, many studies conducted at the various school grades and methodologies, help to understand various classroom environments that implement collaborative learning. Second, it was found that the researcher's subjective characteristics were largely reflected in the selection of the sample extraction method and sample size. Third, as the cognitive domain of collaborative learning mainly presents changes as results through pre- and post-academic achievement, in relation to mathematics subject competency, there have been many studies that have derived results in relation to collaborative mathematical problem solving.

이 연구의 목적은 국내 초·중등 수학교육에서 협력학습 연구에 대한 체계적 문헌 고찰을 통해 관련 연구의 다양한 주제를 탐구하고 개선점을 논의하는 것이다. 이를 위해 체계적 문헌 고찰의 연구 방법론에 따라 수학교육에서 협동 및 협력을 키워드로 하는 연구를 분석하기 위한 프로토콜을 제시하고, 최종 선별된 연구를 프로토콜을 중심으로 도출된 주제별 특성을 분석한다. 체계적 문헌 고찰 결과 검색 키워드, 소집단 구성 방법, 표본의 추출 방법, 표본의 크기, 분석 방법, 분석틀, 교육목표 영역, 협력학습에서의 수학 교과 역량의 총 8가지 주제를 범주화하였고 이를 바탕으로 협력학습에 관한 연구의 특성을 도출하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 대상 학교급 또는 연구 방법론에 있어서 고르게 수행되어, 협력학습을 구현하는 다양한 수업 환경에 대한 이해를 돕는 연구들이 많았다. 둘째, 표본의 추출 방법이나 표본의 크기를 선정하는 데 있어서 연구자의 주관적 특성이 많이 반영되었다는 결과를 발견할 수 있었다. 셋째, 협력학습의 인지적 영역은 주로 사전과 사후의 학업성취도 점수를 통해 그 변화를 결과로 제시하고 있기 때문에 협력학습을 협력적 수학 문제해결 즉 학업성취도 점수에 초점을 두고 유사한 결과를 산출하는 연구가 많았다.
