Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether analogy distance and mathematical knowledge affect on transfer problems solving with different analogy distance. To conduct the study, transfer problems were classified into multiple categories: mathematical word problem based on rates, science word problem based on rates, and real-life problem based on rates with different analogy distance. Then analysed there are differences in participants' transfer ability and which mathematical knowledge contributes to the solution on over the three transfer problem. The study demonstrated a statistical significant difference(.05) in participants' three transfer problem solving and a gradual decrease of the participants' success rates of on transfer problems solving. Moreover, conceptual knowledge influenced transfer problem solving more than factual knowledge about rates. The study has an important implications in that it provided new direction for study about transfer of learning, and also show a good mathematics instruction on where teachers will put the focus in mathematical lesson to foster elementary students' transfer ability.

본 연구는 유추 거리 및 수학적 지식과 학습의 전이 사이의 관계를 규명하기 위해 수행되었다. 구체적으로 유추적 거리에 따라 구분된 세 가지 전이 문제 해결에서 차이를 보이는지, 그리고 각 전이 문제를 성공적으로 해결하는데 기여하는 수학적 지식은 무엇인지를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 세 가지 종류의 전이 문제 해결에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며 유추 거리가 증가할수록 성공률은 점차적으로 감소하였다. 또한 사실 지식 보다는 개념적 지식이 전이 문제를 해결하는데 긍정적으로 기여하였다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 학습의 전이를 위해 수학 수업은 어떠한 점에 초점을 맞추어야 하는지, 그리고 유추 거리라는 새로운 구인을 찾고 그것이 전이에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 규명했다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있었다.
