수학적인 사고력과 창의력이 강조되고 있는 요즈음 수학교육에서는, 이산수학적인 영역이 담당해야 할부분이 더욱 많아진 것으로 생각된다. 이에 발맞춰, 최근에 이산수학에 관한 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 그러나, 아직 초등학교에서 적절히 사용할 수 있는 별도의 이산수학 관련 서적이나 연구 문헌이 없어 아동들의 이산수학에 대한 관심과, 수학 성적과 이산수학의 문제 해결력과의 관계에 대하여 조사해 보았다. 이산수학의 문제들을 구성하여 아동들에게 예고 없이 평가하고 문제에 대한 수학적인 태도를 질문을 통하여 알아보고, 수학 실력이 우수한 학생과 그렇지 못한 학생들과의 이산수학 문제 해결력의 관계를 알아보고자 다음과 같은 연구 내용을 설정하였다. 이를 살펴보면 첫째, 초등 수학교육에서 이산수학에 대한 학생들의 반응에 대하여 생각해 본다. 둘째, 수학 성적과 이산수학 문제 해결과의 관계를 생각해 본다. 이상의 연구 문제를 해결하기 위해, 문헌 연구를 통하여 이산수학에 관련된 초등학교 내용을 소개하고, 문항을 구성하였다. 소개된 주제 중에서 4개의 주제(수 세기, 한 붓 그리기, 지도 색칠하기, 최소 거리 ${\cdot}$ 비용 수형도)를 선정하여 10개의 문항을 작성하였다. 조사 연구를 위한 대상은 서운 시내 2개 초등학교 5, 6학년 2개 반을 선정하였다. 각 문항의 정답율은 백분율(%)에 의하여 분석하였는데 그 결과를 살펴보면, 첫째, 수 세기의 정답율은 첫 번째 문항의 정답율이 낮았을 뿐, 다른 문항들의 정답율은 비교적 좋게 나타난 것으로 보아 문제를 이해하기 쉽게 구성하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 알게 되었다. 둘째, 한 붓 그리기와 지도 색칠하기의 문제들의 정답율은 상당히 높게 나타났는데, 그러한 것은 아동들이 직접 다양한 방법으로 시도해 봄으로써 문제를 해결할 수 있었기 때문인 것 같다. 또한 이러한 유형의 문제들은 아래 학년에도 투입해 볼 수 있을 것 같다. 셋째, 최소거리 ${\cdot}$ 비용 수형도의 문제에서는 난이도가 높은 이유도 있지만 문제 이해를 완전히 하지 못해 정답율이 무척 낮게 나온 것으로 생각된다. 넷째, 수학 성적이 높은 학생들이 대체적으로 문제 해결력이 높았던 것으로 나타났으나, 몇몇 학생들은 정반대의 결과가 나와 특이한 시사점을 제공했다. 그러한 이유로는 정형화된 문제들을 선호하고 쉽게 해결하는 아동들과, 그렇지 않은 아동들 사이의 문제 접근 방법의 차이라고 생각된다. 본 연구를 통하여 다음과 같은 제언을 하고자 한다. 첫째, 이산수학에 관련된 많은 문항을 개발하여 아동들에게 확대 투입함으로써 수학 수업의 효과와 문제 해결력을 높일 수 있을 것이라 생각된다. 둘째, 수학 실력이 떨어지는 아동들에게 보다 흥미있는 이산수학적 문제들을 제시함으로써 수학에 대한 자신감과 흥미를 높일 수 있을 것이라 생각된다. 셋째, 초등학교 과정에 알맞은 이산수학의 다른 주제도 학습 지도안과 그와 관련된 문제들을 개발하는 연구가 진행되어야 하겠다.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, talents should not be subordinated to a particular discipline, but must be able to converge a variety of disciplines. It is important to have a fused thinking because elementary school students are likely to make various changes. Therefore, when selecting elementary gifted students, they are selecting students for fusion gifted students. This study examines the effects of creative problem solving ability, document evaluation, and interview factors on student selection when selecting students for gifted students. The results show that creative problem solving ability has the most influence on selection. In the case of the fifth graders, the creative problem solving ability and the document evaluation influence the selection. In fourth graders, the creative problem solving ability and interview affect the selection. In the case of female students, it was found that creative problem solving ability and document evaluation influenced selection. In addition, there was a gender difference in the evaluation of documents in the gender difference analysis. There is no significant difference between the three groups in the grade-by-grade difference analysis.

The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between Korea and Japan in terms of the effects of student- and school-level ICT-related factors on computer-based problem solving ability in PISA 2012 achievement results. PISA 2012's computer-based problem solving assessment included 5,033 students from 156 schools in Korea and 6,351 students from 191 schools in Japan. A 2-level hierarchical linear model (HLM) was employed to analyze data. Both of Korean and Japanese students, students with the earlier use of computer and the Internet, higher socioeconomic background and higher openness to problem reported better problem solving scores than their counterparts. Also, accessibility to ICT equipment provided by home or school was found to be a negative effect on problem solving in both countries. Differences in the effects of purposes and attitudes for ICT use, teacher-student relationship, and creative out-of-school activities on problem solving ability were found between two countries.
