Abstract

이 연구의 목적은 수학 교수 학습에서 수학에서의 기본과 창의성에 대한 한국 초등교사들의 인식에 대하여 분석해 보는 것이다. 모든 국가의 경제나 교육에 있어서 수학에서의 기본과 창의성을 강화하는 것이 가장 중요한 문제이다. 그 동안 수학에서의 기본과 창의성에 대한 한국 초등교사들의 인식에 대하여 연구한 사례는 거의 없었다. 이 연구를 위한 연구 방법으로 116명의 초등학교 교사들에게 설문지를 통하여 수학에 대한 기본 및 창의성에 대한 인식을 분석하였고, 개방형 질문을 사용하여 필요한 교사들을 대상으로 반구조적인 면담을 실시하였다. 교사들이 수학의 기본과 창의성에 대하여 중요한 것으로 강조를 하고 있으나 수학과의 교수 학습에서 학생들에게 이를 적절하게 강화시키는 데는 어려움을 가지고 있었다. 연구의 결과 교사들이 수학의 기본과 창의성에 대하여 교수 학습에서 학생들에게 이를 적절하게 지도하는 할 수 있도록 하기 위한 예비교사 및 현직교사들의 교육이 필요함을 지적하였다. 그리고 수학교육에서 학생들의 기본 및 창의성을 신장을 돕기 위하여 교사들에게 풍부한 자료의 제공이 필요함을 제안하였다.
