Abstract

The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the results of the existing research on mathematical beliefs, compare and synthesize the valuable results and to suggest implications for mathematical beliefs and research. As a result of checking the methodological quality of 59 articles in total using the MQA(Methodological Quality Assessment) checklist, most of them surveyed mathematical beliefs using questionnaires, and most of the studies were conducted on prospective teachers. As a result of systematic review, the conceptual characteristics of mathematical beliefs, object-specific characteristics, and the educational influence of mathematical beliefs were able to synthesize the meaning. Mathematical beliefs had important educational influences in the practice of teachers, students, and math classes. As the results of the study, we emphasize the importance of changing the beliefs of students and teachers in order to solve the problem of mathematical education, where students rely on private education rather than activity thinking, and teachers do not pay attention to students thinking. It has been shown that concrete support is needed for practicing participatory instruction focused on mathematical thinking.

본 연구의 목적은 수학적 신념에 관한 기존 연구 결과를 체계적으로 분석하여 가치 있는 결과들을 비교 및 종합하고 이로부터 수학적 신념에 관한 후속 연구의 시사점을 얻는 것이다. 선정된 논문 58편의 방법론적 질을 MQA(Methodological Quality Assessment) 체크리스트를 이용하여 확인한 결과, 설문지를 이용하여 수학적 신념을 조사했거나 예비교사를 대상으로 한 연구가 많았다. 연구 결과를 분석한 결과, 수학적 신념의 개념적 특징과 대상별 특징, 수학적 신념의 교육적 영향력으로 나누어 그 의미를 확인했다. 수학적 신념은 교사와 학생, 수학 수업의 실천에서 중요한 교육적 영향력을 가지고 있었다. 연구 결과는 교사가 학생의 사고에 주목하여 적절한 교육적 지원을 제공하지 못하는 문제를 해결하기 위해 학생과 교사의 신념을 변화시키는 것이 중요함을 강조하며, 학생의 수학적 사고에 초점을 둔 수업 실천을 위한 지원이 필요함을 보여준다.
