Abstract

This study aims to investigate secondary mathematics teachers' beliefs about graphing calculator use in mathematics classrooms. For the purpose, we adopted a research instrument that was developed by Brown et. al(2007) and surveyed 32 mathematics teachers about their beliefs about graphing calculator use and teaching practice with calculators in their mathematics instruction. The data analysis suggested that the teachers rarely used calculators in their instruction and they have not had opportunities to use calculators in learning and teaching mathematics. Also, results suggested that the many teachers showed "Crutch beliefs"about the use of calculators in mathematics instruction.

이 연구에서는 중등 교사들이 수학수업에서 그래핑 계산기를 활용하는 것에 대하여 어떻게 생각하며 또 실제로 활용하는지의 여부를 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위하여서 중등 수학교사 32명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하여서 얻은 응답을 분석하였다. 교사들은 수업에서 그래핑 계산기를 거의 활용하지 않으며 동시에 수학 수업에서의 그래핑 계산기 활용 경험이 매우 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교사들은 대체로 수학 수업에서의 그래핑 계산기 사용에 관하여 부정적인 신념을 가지고 있는 것으로 드러났다.
