Abstract
Pupils with learning impediments in elementary schools have difficulties in learning numerical calculations. Numerical concepts, the basis of numerical calculations, require repetitious exercises, and it has been widely reported that computer-mediated learning motivates the learners to concentrate on their learning for longer hours. The aim of the research is to develop and apply a Web-based courseware to experimental groups to improve learning numerical concepts of the learners with learning difficulties in elementary school and to discuss the effects of the results. The courseware is designed to improve the numerical concepts of the learners through many thought activities. The experiment shows effectiveness of the learning activities to improve learning numerical concepts for students with learning difficulties, categorized into two groups - an experimental group and a control group, and also it shows positive responses on improvement of their calculation ability.
초등학교에서 학습장애를 갖고 있는 특수 학급의 학생들은 셈하기에 어려움을 갖고 있다. 셈하기의 기초가 되는 수 개념은 반복적 연습이 요구되며 컴퓨터를 활용한 학습은 학습자의 흥미나 학습에 집중하는 시간을 길어지게 한다. 따라서 학습장애 학생의 수 개념을 향상하기 위한 웹 코스웨어를 개발 적용하여 그 효과를 알아보았다. 본 연구에서 제안된 프로그램은 다양한 사고 활동을 통하여 학습자의 수 개념을 향상할 수 있도록 설계되었으며, 초등학교에 있는 특수 학급 학생 31명을 대상으로 실험 집단과 통제 집단으로 나누어 적용한 결과 수 개념 향상에 교육적 효과가 있었고 연산 능력 향상에도 긍정적인 반응을 유도하였다.
