Abstract

In this study we analyse the features of process of problem posing and explore the development of mathematical knowledge of primary preservice teachers as result of their engagement in problem posing activity. Data was collected through the preservice teachers' class discussions. Analysis of the data shows that preservice teachers developed their ability to understand connections among mathematical concepts.

본 연구는 초등 예비교사의 수학적 문제제기 활동을 관찰하여 그 특징을 파악하고 문제제기 과정이 예비교사에게 제공하는 학습 기회를 분석하였다. 예비교사들의 문제제기 과정은 문제 조건 변형, 문제 성립 조건 탐구, 문제 구조 이해, 문제에서 생성된 개념탐구로 구성되었고, 각 단계에서 문제제기와 수학적 탐구가 결합하면서 다음 단계로 이어졌다. 탐구와 결합된 문제제기를 통해 예비교사들은 기존 개념을 재해석하고 새로운 수학적 대상을 발견하면서 수학적 개념들 사이의 연결성을 이해할 수 있었다. 예비교사들은 수학교육에서 문제제기의 중요성을 인식하였으며, 문제제기는 예비교사들에게 토론과 협력의 기회를 제공하였다.
