Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze mathematical task types to enhance creativity. Creativity is increasingly important in every field of disciplines and industries. To be excel in the 21st century, students need to have habits to think creatively in mathematics learning. The method of the research was to collect the previous research and papers concerning creativity and mathematics. To search the materials, the researcher used the search engines such as the GIL and the KISTI. The mathematical task types to enhance creativity were categorized 16 different types according to their forms and characteristics. The types of tasks include (1) requiring various strategies, (2) requiring preferences on strategies, (3) making word problems, (4) making parallel problems, (5) requiring transforming problems, (6) finding patterns and making generalization, (7) using open-ended problems, (8) asking intuition for final answers, (9) asking patterns and generalization (10) requiring role plays, (11) using literature, (12) using mathematical puzzles and games, (13) using various materials, (14) breaking patterned thinking, (15) integrating among disciplines, and (16) encouraging to change our lives. To enhance students' creativity in mathematics teaching and learning, the researcher recommended the followings: reshaping perspectives toward teaching and learning, developing and providing creativity-rich tasks, applying every day life, using open-ended tasks, using various types of tasks, having assessment ability, changing assessment system, and showing and doing creative thinking and behaviors of teachers and parents.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 수학과 교수학습에서 창의성 신장을 위하여 초등학교 교실에서 활용이 가능한 수학 과제의 유형을 분류하여 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 창의성이 풍부한 과제의 제시를 학생들의 창의적 사고를 신장시키는데 가장 중요한 부분의 하나로 보고 창의성 신장을 위한 과제의 특성과 이들을 유형별로 분류하였다. 이를 위해 그 동안 창의성과 관련하여 연구되어 온 논문과 자료들을 분석하기 위하여 미국 조지아대학의 GIL과 국내의 논문 탐색을 통하여 창의성 관련 자료를 추출하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 수학 과제를 창의성의 요소인 독창성, 융통성, 유창성, 정교성, 민감성의 5가지의 속성을 포함하는 4가지 표현 방식에 16과제의 유형으로 분류할 수 있었다. 그리고 과제 유형과 함께 학생들의 창의성 신장을 효과적으로 돕기 위해 고려해야 할 사항들을 제안을 하였다.
