Abstract

The future society requires not only knowledge but also various competencies, including creativity, cooperative spirit and integrated thinking. This research develops a program for integrating mathematics and information science to enhance important mathematical competencies such as problem-solving and communication. This program does not require much prior knowledge, can be motivated using everyday language and easy-to-access tools, and is based on creative problem-solving activities with multilateral cooperation. The usefulness and rigor of mathematics are emphasized as the number of participants increases in the activities, and theoretical principles stem from the matrix theory over finite fields. Moreover, the activity highlights a connection with error-correcting codes, an important topic in information science. We expect that the real-world contexts of this program contribute to enhancing mathematical communication competence and providing an opportunity to experience the values of mathematics and that this program to be accessible to teachers since coding is not included.

미래 사회에는 지식뿐만 아니라 창의성과 협동심, 융합적 사고 등을 포함하는 다양한 역량이 필요하다. 본 연구는 중요한 수학 교과 역량인 수학 문제해결력, 의사소통 능력 등의 함양을 기대하며 수학 정보과학 융합을 위한 프로그램을 개발하였다. 선행지식이 크게 요구되지 않고, 일상언어와 쉽게 접할 수 있는 도구만으로 동기유발이 가능하며 다자간 협력이 필수적인 창의적 문제해결 활동 기반 프로그램이다. 활동의 참가자 수가 증가함에 따라 수학의 유용성과 엄밀성을 경험할 수 있으며, 이론적 원리는 유한체 위에서의 행렬 이론을 바탕으로 한다. 또한 정보과학에서 주요 주제 중 하나인 오류정정코드와의 관련성을 강조할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 본 프로그램의 실세계 맥락이 수학적 의사소통 능력의 함양과 수학의 가치 경험 기회 제공에 도움이 되기를 바라고, 코딩을 수반하지 않는다는 점에서 교사들의 접근성이 높기를 기대한다.
