Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze errors and treatment behavior during the course of mathematics learning of academic achievement by applying reflective activities in the second semester of the third year of elementary school. The study participants are students from two classes, 21 from the third-grade S elementary school in Seoul and 20 from the comparative class. In the case of the experiment group, the multiplication unit was reconstructed into a mathematics class that applied reflective activities. They were pre-post-test to examine the changes in students' mathematics performance, and mathematical communication was recorded and analyzed for the focus group to analyze the patterns of learners' error handling in the reflective activities. In addition, they recorded and analyzed students' activities and conversations for error type and error handling. As a result of the study, the student's mathematics achievement was increased using reflective activities. When learning double digit multiplication, the error types varied. It was also confirmed that the reflective activities helped learners reflect on the multiplication algorithm and analyze the error-ridden calculations to reflect on and deal with their errors.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 3학년 2학기의 곱셈 학습에서 반성적 활동을 적용함으로써 학업성취도의 수학 학습과정 중에 나타나는 오류 및 처치 행동을 분석하는 데 있다. 연구참여하는 학생들에게 곱셈단원에 대하여 반성적 활동을 적용하여 수업을 재구성하여 진행하였다. 이들의 수학 학업성취도의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 사전 사후 검사를 실시하였고, 반성적 활동에서의 학습자의 오류 처치양상을 분석하기 위해 포커스 그룹의 수학적인 의사소통을 녹음하여 분석하였다. 그리고 오류 유형 및 오류 처치를 위하여 학생들의 활동지와 녹음된 대화를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 반성적 활동을 적용한 경우 학습자의 수학학업성취도가 상승하였다. 두 자리 수의 곱셈을 학습할 때 오류 유형은 다양하게 나타났다. 그리고 반성적 활동은 학습자가 곱셈 알고리즘에 대해 반성하고 오류가 있는 계산을 분석하여 자신의 오류를 반성적으로 되돌아보고 처치하도록 돕게 됨을 확인하였다.
