A study on the change of students' attitudes to mathematics via Problem-Centered Learning in the elementary school
문제 중심 학습을 통한 초등학교 학생들의 수학적 태도 변화에 대한 연구
Abstract
Problem-centered learning reflects learning strategy based on constructivism. In this learning, students should find the solution in a small group discussion, and share their solutions with classmates in whole class discussion. So students participate in mathematics instruction actively and interact with other students about the strategies. We expect students would change their attitudes on mathematics and mathematical learning in these processes. In this study, we analyzed students' attitudes on mathematics and mathematical learning when they participated the problem-centered learning program. We found the change of students' attitudes to mathematics via problem-centered learning.
