최근 초등학교를 중심으로 급속히 확산되고 있는 열린교육은 종래의 규격화된 일제식 수업과 경직된 교육운영의 틀을 깨고, 다양한 수업의 방법들을 도입하고 개발하고 보급하고자 하는 교육운동이다. 이것은 교육을 ‘하는 사람’이 아니라 ‘받는 사람’을 위주로 하여 행하는 민주주의적인 교육형태로서, 이른바 학습자 및 학부모의 요구에 부응하는 ‘수요자 중심의 교육’임을 뜻한다. 따라서 진정한 열린교육의 효과를 얻기 위해서는, 현재 일반적으로 주력하고 있는 학교교실에서의 교수학습방법 개선 노력 이외에 학부모와 학교간의 건전하고 진정한 협력 관계가 수립, 유지되어야 할 필요성이 높다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 필요성에 근거하여, 교사와 어머니와의 동반자적 관계를 수립하고 서로 협력함으로써 초등학교 1학년 아동의 수학 학습의 방향 및 활동방법을 제시하고자 한다.
