Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the experiences of productive failures on students' mathematical problem solving abilities and mathematical dispositions. The experiment was conducted with two groups. The treatment group was applied with the productive mathematics failure program, and the comparative group was taught with traditional mathematics lessons. In this study, for quantitative analysis, the students were tested their understanding of mathematical concepts, mathematical reasoning abilities, students' various strategies and mathematical dispositions before and after using the program. For qualitative analysis, the researchers analyzed the discussion processes of the students, students's activity worksheets, and conducted interviews with selected students. The results showed the followings. First, use of productive failures showed students' enhancement in problem solving abilities. Second, the students who experienced productive failures positively affected the changes in students' mathematical dispositions. Along with the more detailed research on productive mathematical failures, the research results should be included in the development of mathematics textbooks and teaching and learning mathematics.

본 연구의 목적은 수학 수업에서 생산적 실패를 한 경험이 초등학생들의 수학적 문제해결력과 수학적 성향에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 선행 연구를 바탕으로 생산적 실패를 경험할 수 있도록 수업 과정을 고안하였다. 연구대상으로 서울 은평구 Y초등학교 4학년 2개 학급을 선정하여 실험반은 생산적 실패를 활용한 수업을 진행하였으며, 비교반은 전통적인 강의식 수업을 진행하였다. 사전 사후 검사로 수학 개념이해 검사, 다양한 수학적 문제해결력 검사, 수학적 성향 검사를 실시하여 각각 t-검정하였으며, 학생들의 토의과정 및 활동지, 면담 등을 활용하여 수학적 문제해결력과 성향을 질적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 생산적 실패를 경험한 학생들의 문제해결력과 수학적 성향에 유의미하게 개선되는 효과를 보였다. 이는 학생들이 실패를 통해 수학 개념을 스스로 구성하면서 보다 명확한 이해를 하는 과정에서 긍정적인 효과를 가져 온 것으로 보인다. 심층적인 추후 연구로 수학교과서 개발 및 수업 방법 개선에서 이를 활용해야 함을 제안하였다.
