초록

본 연구는 일반계 고등학교 1학년 학생들을 대상으로 컴퓨터 대수시스템(Computer Algebra Systems, CAS), 즉 CAS 공학을 사용한 수학수업을 교사의 표상 전환 중심으로 살펴보았다. 이 수업에서 수학교과 내용별로 어떤 표상 전환이 일어났는지를 한 달 진행된 CAS 공학을 사용한 15차시 수업 중 합성함수의 개념 도입부분에 해당하는 두 차시의 수학 수업을 중심으로 분석하였다. 특히 Lesh, Behr, & Post(1987)의 투명 표상과 불투명 표상 사이의 전환과 Kosslyn(1994)의 설명 표상과 묘사 표상 사이의 전환을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 결과 CAS 공학은 일반계 고등학교 수학 수업에서 표상 전환을 도와주었으며 교사 개인의 표상을 만들어내는 기회를 제공하였다. 그러나 표상 전환의 기회가 모두 교수-학습의 목적에 맞게 사용되지는 않았다. 이러한 결과는 수학 수업에서 CAS 공학에 의한 표상 전환의 새로운 역할의 중요성과 교사 역할의 중요성을 재고하는 기회를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined mathematics class using the CAS(Computer Algebra Systems, CAS) targeted for high school first grade students. We examined what kind of transforming of representations got up according to mathematics subject contents at this classroom. This study analyzed 15 math lessons during one month and the focus of analysis was on the classroom teacher. In particular, for transformations among representations this study mainly investigated from theoretical frameworks such as transparent and opaque representation of Lesh, Behr & Post(1987), descriptive and depictive representation of Kosslyn(1994). According to the results of this study, CAS technology affected the transforming of representations in high school math class and this transforming of representations improved the students' thinking and understanding of mathematical concepts and provided the opportunity to create the representation of individual student. Such results of this study suggest the importance of CAS technology's role in transforming of representations. and they offer the chance to reconsider the fact that CAS technology could be used to improve students' ability of transforming representations at the mathematics class.
