Abstract

While research projects and reports on values in mathematics education increased in the international community over the years, little has been known about the topic and research findings in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to analyze the trends of value research in mathematics education focused on the "mathematical values" and "mathematics educational values" as defined by Bishop (1996) through a systematic review of the literature. A total of 66 research papers related to value research were analyzed in terms of the following four areas: research period, projects, target research population, and research method. The results of this study showed that the value research that was carried out was project-driven. There was an increase in both the number of papers published and countries that were studied, which encouraged the continuous expansion of the field. Furthermore, the topic of mathematics educational values was studied more than mathematical values. It was also observed that the survey method, among others, was frequently used to explore mathematics educational values of middle school teachers. Finally, research methods related to the measurement of value were gradually refined over time. Based on these results, this paper describes implications to conduct and advance value research in South Korea in various aspects, including in the field of mathematics education.

최근 국제 수학교육에서 가치(values)를 다루는 프로젝트나 연구물이 증가하고 있으나 우리나라에서는 소개된 것이 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 Bishop(1996)의 '수학적 가치'와 '수학 교육적 가치'를 중심으로 체계적인 문헌 검토를 통하여 최종 66편의 논문을 선정하였고 연구시기, 프로젝트, 분석 대상, 연구 방법을 기준으로 연구 동향을 제시하였다.
