Abstract

In order to prepare for changes in future society, cross-curricular learning is emphasized, and the need to link cross-curricular learning topics and subjects is increasing. However, there are few studies on how to deal with cross-curricular learning in mathematics education. This study analyzed the contents and methods of cross-curricular learning topics in subject-specific curriculum and mathematics textbooks. As a result of the study, the curriculum can be categorized into four types according to the variety of cross-curricular learning topics applied and the presence or absence of a main cross-curricular learning topic, and the mathematics curriculum belongs to the type where some cross-curricular learning topics are dealt with passively and there is no main topic. On the other hand, the analysis of 10 math textbooks for grades 5 and 6 according to the 2015 revised curriculum showed that, unlike the curriculum, various cross-curricular learning topics were applied in the textbooks, mainly environment and sustainable development education, safety and health education, career education, character education, and economic and financial education. In addition, in mathematics textbooks, cross-curricular learning topics appeared in various types such as materials, questions, explanations, illustrations, and in many cases, they appeared mainly as materials or illustrations. Based on these findings, implications were explored and suggested on how to integrate and apply cross-curricular learning topics in mathematics.

미래 사회의 변화에 대비하기 위해 범교과 학습이 강조되며, 범교과 학습 주제와 교과를 연계할 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 수학과에서 범교과 학습을 어떻게 다뤄야 하는지에 관한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 교과별 교육 과정과 수학과 교과서에 적용된 범교과 학습 주제의 내용과 방법을 문헌 분석하였다. 연구 결과 교과별 교육과정을 적용된 범교과 학습 주제의 다양성, 주된 범교과 학습 주제의 유무에 따라 총 4가지 유형으로 구분할 수 있었고 이 때 수학과 교육과정은 일부 범교과 학습 주제가 소극적으로 다뤄지고 주된 주제가 없는 유형에 속하였다. 한편, 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 5~6학년군 수학 교과서 10종을 분석한 결과, 교육과정과 달리 교과서에는 다양한 범교과 학습주제가 적용되어 있었고 이중 환경·지속가능발전 교육, 안전·건강 교육, 진로 교육, 인성 교육, 경제·금융 교육 순으로 주를 이뤘다. 또한 수학 교과서에는 범교과 학습 주제가 소재, 발문, 설명, 자료, 삽화와 같이 다양한 유형으로 반영되어 있었는데, 주로 소재나 삽화로 나타난 경우가 많았다. 그리고 수학 교과서에는 범교과 학습 주제가 주로 도입 차시, 본 차시의 도입 활동, 특화 차시에 반영되어 있었다. 이런 결과를 바탕으로 수학과에 범교과 학습 주제를 연계하는 방안을 모색하고 제시하였다.
