The purpose of this study was to analyze the development of the compensational thinking by the compensation activities of 'Thinking Science' program. The 138 students were sampled in elementary schools and were divided into two groups, the experimental group of 74 students and the control group of 64 students. Both the compensation activities of the 'Thinking Science' program and a regular science curriculum were implemented to the experimental group, while only a regular science curriculum to the control group. Both experimental and control group were pre-tested with Science Reasoning Task II and compensational thinking test I and were post-tested with compensational thinking test II. This study revealed that the types of strategies used in compensation problem solving were categorized as illogical explanation, rule automation, proportionality, explanation in qualitative terms, additive quantification, inverse proportionality and were related to the context of the items. It was found that compensation activities of the 'Thinking Science' program were effective on the development of the compensational thinking.

The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of two instructional methods, which were the instructor-led instruction and the simulation delivery instruction on students' well-structured and ill-structured problem solving performance and motivation. 29 undergraduate students participated in the study and repeated measure design was used. We found significant difference of means in ill-structured problem solving performance and only relevance scale in motivation.

This study was aimed at identifying the factors of creative ability influencing problem-solving skills for University students majoring in nursing science. A descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 248 students enrolled in a 4-year undergraduate academic program for nursing in one University located in an urban area of Korea. This study used: (a) 25 items of Process Behavior Survey, and (b) 35 items of the Integrative Creativity Scale. The data were collected from Nov. 8th toward Nov. 26th, 2010; the research was conducted through voluntary participation after an explanation about the research. The data were also analyzed with SPSS 18.0 program, using Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression methods. Mean score of the level of problem-solving process was 3.62(${\pm}.448$). Problem-solving process was significantly related to creative ability(p<.01). Problem-solving process was significantly influenced by flexibility and elaboration in account for 42.4%. These results imply that in order to foster problem-solving ability, nursing professors need to develop nursing students' creative ability and its factors.

본 연구는 창의적 문제해결과정에 대한 개념을 신제품 개발 프로젝트에 적용하여 문제해결 관점에서의 신제품개발 성과 모델을 제시하고 있다. 연구개발 프로젝트 팀과 관련한 연구논문들이 그 동안 많이 있었으며, 각각의 이론들은 상호 이질적이고 다른 관점을 취해 연구자와 실무자들에게 다소의 혼란을 야기하여 왔다. 대표적으로 살펴보면 합리적 계획, 의사소통 망, 훈련된 문제해결의 세 개의 차원으로 나누어진다. 이러한 이유로 국내외 학자들은 통합모델을 제시하려고 노력하여 왔다. 그러나 그러한 접근은 신제품 개발의 본질적 성격을 반영하는 새로운 깊이 있는 차원으로서의 모델 통합이 아니라 단순히 영향 요인들의 나열 또는 종합하는 특징을 지니고 있다. 본 연구는 신제품 개발 R&D 팀이 본질적으로 문제해결 집단이라는 전제하에 창의적 문제해결을 위한 구성원들의 문제해결 몰입과 해결안의 질적 수준의 향상을 높이기 위하여 R&D 팀의 인지적 다양성과 R&D팀의 위상과 관련하여 R&D 환경 성숙도라는 새로운 변수를 추가하였다. 여기서 제시하는 창의적 문제해결과정으로서의 R&D팀 성과와 관련된 연구모델은 본질적인 것을 다루면서 단순화 된 모델로서 그 동안 여러 관점에서 다루어져 온 개념들을 통합할 뿐만 아니라, 새로운 차원에서 R&D 성과를 높이는데 개념으로 많은 도움을 줄 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using open-ended problems in ability-level activities in mathematics instruction and to draw some informative conclusions in order to improve the practice of teaching and learning mathematics in the elementary school. To fulfill the purpose, the research questions were established as follows: 1. Is there any difference between the academic achievements of the experimental group(doing ability-level activities using open-ended problems) and the control group(doing general ability-level activities)? 2. Which sub-group(grouped by achievement score in pretest) get affected most by ability-level activities using open-ended problem in the experimental group? 3. What kinds of responses do students show in their ability-level activities using open-ended problems? By applying t-test and analysing the response, the conclusions were drawn as follows: First, using open-ended problems in ability-level activities has positive effects on the academic achievement of the experiment group. The mean of posttest scores of the experiment group was statistically meaningfully higher(p<.05). Second, using open-ended problems in ability-level activities affect most to the achievement of lower sub-group in the experiment group. The mean of posttest scores of lower sub-group in the experiment group was statistically meaningfully higher than that of control group(p<.05). Third, students showed various and creative response in their ability-level activities using open-ended problems.

The purpose of this study was to analyze children's proportional reasoning process on an ill-structured "architectural drawing" problem solving and to investigate their level and characteristics of proportional reasoning. As results, they showed various perspective and several level of proportional reasoning such as illogical, additive, multiplicative, and functional approach. Furthermore, they showed their expanded proportional reasoning from the early stage of perception of various types of quantities and their proportional relation in the problem to application stage of their expanded and generalized relation. Students should be encouraged to develop proportional reasoning by experiencing various quantity in ration and proportion situations.

Present study identified categorization pattern differences between experts and novices and examined whether categorization training has positive effects on problem solving. In experiment I, we examined categorization differences between groups according to expertise using mathematical equation problems. Experts classified problems based on deep structure related to problem solution methods whereas novices classified problems based on surface features. However, in the labeled categorization condition, novices' categorization pattern was not different from experts'. These results suggest that novices have difficulty identifying deep structure of problems. In experiment 2, we examined whether categorization training showing subjects deep structure of problems explicitly increases transfer performance. The results showed that solution training was more effective to expert group whereas categorization training was more effective to novice group. We have discussed that different training methods should be applied according to expertise.

현재 학교수업에서 학습자간 학습 능력의 차이를 해결하기위해 개별 학습과 수준별 학습을 이용한다. 그러나 수업시간 중에 수준별, 개별학습을 진행하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 이에 해결방법으로 동료 지도학습 방법, 웹기반 개별지도 학습방법 등이 적용되고 있으나 이 또한 동료끼리의 열등감 문제, 즉각적 피드백 부족 등으로 많은 문제점들이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 효율적인 동료지도학습 방법을 적용하는 방법으로 SNS를 기반으로한 학습지원시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템을 적용함으로써 기존의 동료지도학습 방법에서의 시.공간적인 제약 문제를 해결하였고, 개별학습과 수준별 학습이 가능하며, 자기주도적 학습이 효과적으로 이루어질 수 있다. 또한, 누구나 학습자와 교수자의 입장이 될 수 있으므로 동료끼리의 열등감 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 교수자로서의 역할 경험은 자아성취감을 고취시켜 학습의 흥미도를 높일 수 있다.

The purpose of the study was to investigate and develop a practical approach to integrating student-driven mathematical problems posing in mathematics instruction. A problem posing activity was performed during regular mathematics instruction. A total of 540 mathematical problems generated by students were recorded and analysed using systemic procedures and criteria. Of the problems, 81% were mathematically solvable problem and 18% were classified as error type problems. The Mathematically solvable problem were analysed and categorized according to the complexity level; 13% were of a high-level, 30% mid-level and 57% low-level. The error-type problem were classified as such within three categories: non-mathematical problem, statement or mathematically unsolvable problem. The error-type problem category was distributed variously according to the leaning theme and accomplishment level. The study has important implications in that it used systemic procedures and criteria to analyse problem generated by students and provided the way for integrating mathematical instruction and problem posing activity.

수학적 지식과 능력을 활용하여 생활 주변의 여러 가지 문제를 해결하는 능력의 신장이야말로 수학교육의 목표이자, 수학 학습의 근본적인 이유가 된다. 그러나 문제해결 능력이 가장 많이 필요한 문장제 문제해결과, 문제 푸는 방법 찾기 단원을 학생들은 해결하기 어려워한다. 다른 단원보다 명확하게 식을 찾을 수 있는 연산 문제들과 다르고, 책에 제시되어 있는 방법을 쉽게 사용을 하지 못하며. 그 문제의 의미를 이해하지 못한다. 그래서 문제를 푸는데 즐거움을 느끼지 못한다. 이에 본 연구는 문제 푸는 방법 찾기 단원을 중심으로 문제해결 능력 신장을 위한 교수 학습 시스템 설계를 목적으로 학습의 과정별, 특성별, 연계별 학습 내용을 고려하여 학년 통합, 내용 통합하여 재구성하였다. 그리고 교수-학습 모듈, 평가 모듈, 상호작용 모듈로 시스템을 구성하였다. 시공간의 제약을 극복하여 학습자들의 수준에 적합한 개별화 학습을 제공하고, 웹을 이용한 문제 만들기 활동을 통하여 학습에 자신감을 기르고, 또한, 자기주도적 학습 능력을 향상시키는 계기가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
