Future Mathematics Teacher's Carrying Out a Mathematics Class Using a Socrates' Method

예비수학교사의 산파법 적용 수학 수업 실행

In this research, we investigated the effects of mathematics education in using Socrates , method in a course of mathematics education in teacher's college. And we proposed some suggestions for education of future mathematics teachers. This study was conducted with 44 university students(third grade) who entered the department of mathematics education (future mathematics teachers) in 2005. We took a course in curriculum that was required for the future mathematics teachers in my department. In this course, we began with the reading the famous dialogue between Socrates and Meno's slave. And we analysed Socrates' questioning of Meno's slave and tried to understand what this dialogue is implicating in mathematics education. All the participants in this course was divided 11 groups. Each group designed a school mathematics class plan using Socrates' method and practiced their teaching plan by a performance(students' announcements). Through the analysis of research data. Five effects of mathematics education in using Socrates' method for future mathematics teachers were induced. Therefore, we suggest that future mathematics teacher need to have many opportunity to design and practice a mathematics teaching plan by using mathematics teaching-learning methods taught in their course.

본 연구에서는 사범대학의 교육현장에서 '산파법의 이해와 적용'을 논의의 대상으로 하여 예비수학교사들로 하여금 산파법에 의한 가상수학수업을 설계, 실행하도록 하였다. 연구 대상으로 선정된 사범대학 수학교육과 3학년 44명의 학생들이 정규 강좌시간을 활용하여 조별프로젝트 활동으로 산파법 적용 수업을 실행하였다. 본 연구에서는 2차에 걸쳐 실행된 수업활동결과에 대한 자료를 바탕으로 하여 예비 수학교사의 산파법 적용 수학수업 실행의 교육적 효과를 분석하였다. 아울러 본 연구에서의 수업구성실행이 예비수학교사교육에 주는 시사점을 도출하였다.
