The Effects of the Situation-Based Mathematical Problem Posing Activity on Problem Solving Ability and Mathematical Attitudes

상황제시형 수학 문제 만들기(WQA) 활동이 문제해결력 및 수학적 태도에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to improve forward mathematics study by analyzing the effects of the teaching and learning process applied situation-based mathematical problem posing activity on problem solving ability and mathematical attitudes. For this purpose, the research questions were established as follows: 1. How the situation-based mathematical problem posing activity(WQA activity) changes the problem solving ability of students? 2. How the situation-based mathematical problem posing activity(WQA activity) changes the mathematical attitudes of students? The results of the study were as follows: (1) There was significant difference between experimental group and comparative group in problem solving ability. This means that situation-based mathematical problem posing activity was generally more effective in improving problem solving ability than general classroom-based instruction. (2) There was not significant difference between experimental group and comparative group in mathematical attitudes. But the experimental group's average scores of mathematical attitudes except mathematical confidence was higher than comparative group's ones. And there was significant difference in the mathematical adaptability. The results obtained in this study suggest that the situation-based mathematical problem posing activity can be used to improve the students' problem solving ability and mathematical attitudes

본 연구는 문제해결력을 증진시키기 위한 방안으로 상황을 제시한 후 W(상황표현하기)-Q(문제 만들기)-A(답하기)에 의한 단계별 활동을 하여 그 효과성을 알아보았다. 이 방법을 2학년에게 한 학기동안 20차시를 적용한 결과 문제해결력은 향상된 것으로 나타났고, 태도에서는 융통성은 향상되었고 나머지 영역은 유의미한 차이는 없었지만 전반적으로 평균이 높아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 WQA 문제만들기 활동은 아동의 문제해결력을 증진시키고 태도를 개선하는 좋은 방법임을 알 수 있었다.
