Abstract

Despite the significance of mathematics teacher guidebooks as a support for teacher learning, there are few studies that address how elementary mathematics teacher guidebooks support teacher learning. The purpose of this study was to analyze the educative features of elementary mathematics teacher guidebooks for grades 3 and 4. For this, six units from each of ten kinds of teacher guidebooks were analyzed in terms of seven dimensions of Teacher Learning Opportunities in Korean Mathematics Curriculum Materials (TLO-KMath). The results of this study showed that mathematics content knowledge for teaching was richly provided and well organized. Teacher guidebooks provided teacher knowledge to anticipate and understand student errors and misconceptions, but were not enough. Sample dialogues between a teacher and students were offered in the teacher guidebooks, making it easier for teachers to identify the overall lesson flow and key points of classroom discourse. Formative assessment was emphasized in the teacher guidebooks, including lesson-specific student responses and their concomitant feedback examples per main activity. Supplementary activities and worksheets were provided, but it lacked rationales for differentiated instruction in mathematics. Teacher knowledge of manipulative materials and technology use in mathematics was provided only in specific units and was generally insufficient. Teacher knowledge in building a mathematical community was mainly provided in terms of mathematical competency, mathematical classroom culture, and motivation. This paper finally presented implications for improving teacher guidebooks to actively support teacher learning.

수학 지도서는 교사 학습을 지원하는 중요한 자료임에도 불구하고 초등학교 수학 지도서가 교사 학습을 지원하는 양상을 탐색한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 초등학교 3~4학년군 수학 지도서의 교육적 특징을 분석하는 것이었다. 이를 위해 10종의 수학 지도서에 대해 수, 연산, 도형, 측정, 자료와 가능성, 규칙성 영역에 부합하는 6개 단원을 선정하여 '우리나라 수학 교육과정 자원의 교사 학습 기회(Teacher Learning Opportunities in Korean Mathematics Curriculum Materials)'의 7가지 차원별로 수학 지도서의 교육적 특징(educative features)을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 지도서에는 교수를 위한 수학 내용 지식이 풍부히 제공되지만 학생의 오류나 오개념 정보는 충분하지 않았다. 매 차시 수업 담화의 전반적인 흐름과 요점을 제공했지만, 근거나 구체적인 전략은 부족했다. 수학 내용 측면의 과정중심평가방안, 보충 및 심화 활동이 다수 있었지만 맞춤형 수업에 대한 설명은 부족했다. 교구 및 공학 도구 활용에 관한 교사 지식은 특정 단원이나 내용에 대해서만 제시되었고, 수학 공동체에 관한 교사 지식은 수학 교과 역량, 수학 교실 문화, 동기 유발에 관한 것이었다. 연구 결과를 토대로, 교사 학습을 적극적으로 지원하도록 수학 지도서를 개선하는 것에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
