Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how the learners' mathematics learning processes change with repeatedly reading mathematical text. As a way to teach and learn mathematics, we also wanted to examine the effect of repeated reading and to explore the implications for a more efficient teaching and learning strategy. To help us with this study, we mainly used eye tracking and heart rate (HR) measurement. There were four cycles in a cycle of repeated reading, and the number of repeated readings for all cycles was fixed to three times. Eight prospective mathematics teachers in the Department of Mathematics Education of a National University in South Korea participated. Data were analyzed in five aspects: (1) the total reading time per round, the total reading time per slide; (2) the change trends of total reading time per round and slide; (3) the order of slides read; (4) the change trends of HR per round. We found that most participants read in a similar pattern in the first reading, but the second and third reading patterns appeared more diverse for each learner. Also, the first reading required the most time regardless of the repeat cycle, and the time it took to repeatedly read afterward varied depending on the individual. Based on the findings of this study, the most primary conclusion is that self-directed mathematics learning by using repeated reading is effective regardless of cycle. In addition, we suggested four strategies to improve the efficiency of this teaching and learning method.

이 연구에서는 학습자가 수학 텍스트를 반복하여 읽을 때 나타나는 수학 학습 과정이 어떻게 변하는지를 조사하였다. 또한 수학 학습 방법으로써 반복 읽기의 효과를 점검하고 보다 효율적인 반복 읽기 교수·학습 전략에 대한 시사점을 모색하였다. 반복 읽기 수학 학습에는 국립대학교 수학교육과에 재학 중인 예비 수학교사 8명이 참가하였다. 예비 수학교사는 각각 4개의 그룹으로 구성되어 그룹에 따라 서로 다른 4개의 주기로 총 3회 반복 읽기를 시행하였다. 수학 학습 자료 읽기 과정에서 나타나는 예비 수학교사의 시선의 움직임을 추적하고 심박수를 측정하였다. 수집한 자료를 회차별 총 읽기 시간, 슬라이드별 총 읽기 시간, 각 회차와 슬라이드별 총 읽기 시간의 변화 추세, 슬라이드 읽기 순서, 회차별 심박수 변화 추세 등의 다섯 가지 측면에서 분석하였다. 첫 번째 읽기에서는 참가자의 대부분이 비슷한 양상을 보였으나, 두 번째와 세 번째 읽기에서는 개별 학습자에 따른 읽기 패턴의 변화가 보다 다양하게 드러났다. 또한, 첫 번째 읽기에서 반복 주기와 무관하게 가장 많은 시간이 소요되었고, 이후 반복적 읽기 시간에서는 개인별로 차이가 나타났다. 연구 결과에서 도출한 가장 중요한 결론은 반복 읽기를 통한 자기 주도적 수학 학습은 주기와 관계없이 효과적이라는 것이다. 추가적으로 반복 읽기 교수·학습 전략의 효율성을 증진시키기 위한 네 가지 전략을 제안하였다.
