Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an elementary mathematics education program for social justice. In the two years of research including literature review and development of a teaching model, forty 6th grade elementary students at two schools in Seoul participated as participants for verification of the effectiveness of the program. Parents' SES in each group is in the high and average levels, respectively. The students participated in 12 mathematical classes for social justice, and the effects of mathematics education for social justice were tested by using mixed method. As a result of the study, students' perceptions of mathematics and tendency toward mathematics were changed positively. The results of this study showed that students' perceptions on mathematics and tendency toward mathematics were influenced by individual ability, inclination, and condition rather than parents' socio-economic environments. It is necessary to develop high qualified and diverse mathematical materials for social justice in order to cultivate creative convergence ability that flexibly copes with future society. It is also necessary for teachers to look at mathematics education in a broader and deeper perspective such as seeing mathematics with humanistic imagination.

본 연구의 목적은 사회정의를 위한 초등수학교육 프로그램을 개발하고 현장에 적용하여 그 효과성을 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 2년 동안의 연구에서 문헌연구 및 수업 모형 개발 후 효과성을 검증하기 위하여, 서울특별시에 소재한 가정환경이 상 수준과 하 수준인 초등학교 6학년 학생 각각 21명과 19명을 선정하였다. 이들을 대상으로 각각 12차시 분량의 사회정의를 위한 수학 수업을 실시하여 수학에 대한 인식과 수학적 성향에 대하여 혼합연구 방법을 사용하여 효과성을 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 두 그룹의 학생들 모두 수학에 대한 인식과 학생들의 수학적 성향이 모두 긍정적으로 변하였다. 그리고 학생들의 수학에 대한 인식과 수학적 성향은 부모의 사회 경제적인 차이보다는 개인별 능력, 성향, 조건 등에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 미래사회에 유연하게 대처할 창의융합인재의 육성을 위하여 수학 교수학습에서 다양한 소재의 활용이 필요하다. 또한, 다양한 사회정의 자료 개발이 필요하고, 교사들에게 인문학적 상상력을 기반으로 수학교육을 보다 넓고 깊은 관점에서 볼 수 있도록 하는 지속적이고 내실 있는 교사 연수가 필요함을 제안하였다.
