Abstract

Recently, interest in Edu-Tech, which applies new technologies to the educational field, is growing. Edu-Tech is now being naturally used in schools, allowing both teachers and students to adapt to these changes. Particularly, there's significant attention on using Edu-Tech to bridge the educational gap through various teaching and learning strategies. This study focuses on the importance of self-directed task management by students for supplementary learning. It developed and utilized a math learning platform that enables teachers to easily provide and manage necessary tasks for students. Initially, the study developed "Sussam-MathTeacher" a problem-based learning application for middle school students, aimed at enhancing problem-solving abilities. This platform operates as a task management system, allowing teachers to assign or recommend problems to either the entire class or individual students. It aims to improve students' problem-solving abilities through a process that includes presenting necessary tasks, monitoring their own progress in solving problems, and self-assessing growth. Through this study, students demonstrated improved problem-solving skills by tackling tasks suited to their levels using "Sussam" highlighting the critical role of teachers in the digital educational environment.

최근 교육 분야에서의 '에듀테크'에 대한 관심이 커짐에 따라, 교사와 학생 모두 이러한 변화에 적응하고 있으며, 에듀테크는 이제 학교에서 자연스럽게 활용되어가고 있는 추세이다. 특히 에듀테크를 사용한 다양한 교수·학습 전략을 통해 교육격차를 줄이는 것에도 많은 관심이 쏠리고 있는바, 교육격차를 줄이는 다양한 방법 중 본 연구는 학생들의 자기주도적 과제 관리의 중요성에 주목하여 교사가 필요한 과제를 학생들에게 제공하고 관리할 수 있는 수학학습 플랫폼을 개발, 적용하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 '수쌤' 플랫폼은 공교육에서 활용 가능한 교사 주도 과제 관리 시스템으로서, 교사들이 학생들에게 필요한 문제를 제시하면 학생들은 자신의 문제해결 과정을 점검하며 성장을 스스로 모니터링하는 과정을 통해 문제해결 능력을 향상시키고자 하는 목적을 지녔다. 본 고를 통해 '수쌤'을 활용하여 학생들은 자신의 수준에 맞는 과제를 해결함으로써 문제해결 능력을 향상시켜 나가는 사례를 보여주고자 하였으며 더 나아가 디지털 교육 환경에서의 교사 역할의 중요성도 제안하였다.
