Abstract

In mathematics classes, the verbal explanation may contain diverse mathematical concepts and principles in short sentences. It may also include mathematics symbols and terms that might not be used in everyday life. Therefore, students may need particular listening ability in order to understand and participate in mathematics communication. Unlike general listening, the listening ability for mathematics classes may require student to integrate their mathematical and linguistic knowledge. The aim of this study is to reveal the subdomains of listening ability for mathematics classes in a elementary school. I categorized listening ability for mathematics classes in a elementary school from the literature. The categories of listening ability for mathematics are Interpretive Listening, Evaluative Listening, Hermeneutic Listening, Selective Listening, Pretend Listening, and Ignored Listening. In order to develop a framework for understanding listening ability for mathematics classes, I investigated a hierarchy of 412 South Korean elementary teachers' perception. Through a web-based survey, the teachers were asked to rank order their beliefs about and students' listening ability. Findings show that teachers' perceptions about listening ability for mathematics classes are divergent from current research trends. South Korean elementary teachers perceived Interpretive Listening as the most important listening.

수학 수업에서 사용하는 음성 언어에는 비교적 짧은 문장에 많은 수학적 개념과 원리가 함축적으로 들어있을뿐더러 일상생활에서 사용하지 않는 기호와 수학 용어들이 포함되어 있다. 따라서 수학 수업에서 학생들은 일반적인 듣기와 달리 자신이 알고 있는 수학적·언어적 지식을 통합하여 음성 언어의 의미를 파악하는 듣기 능력이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 듣기와 구분하여 수학적 내용이 포함된 음성 언어를 이해하는 능력을 수학 청해력이라 지칭한다. 본 연구의 목표는 초등학교 학습자의 수학 청해력 유형을 구체화하고 그중 초등학교 교사가 수학 학습과 관련하여 적절하다고 인식하는 유형을 조사하는 데 있다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구 분석을 통해 수학 청해력 유형을 발견하며 듣기, 해석하며 듣기, 평가하며 듣기, 선택적으로 듣기, 듣는 척하기, 무시하기의 여섯 가지 형태로 구분하였다. 초등학교 교사 412명의 설문, 추가 20명과의 면담 결과를 분석한 통합연구 조사 결과 초등학교 교사들은 수학 청해력 여섯 가지 유형 중 해석하며 듣기를 가장 적절한 듣기 유형으로 인식하고 있었다. 본 연구의 조사 결과는 학생들의 수학 청해력 실태 조사와 교사의 수학 청해력의 지도 방법 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
