Reading postmodern texts certainly situates readers in roles different from the ones we have been used to. Recently, postmodern metafiction forms a significant body of children's literature that is intended to challenge and transform the conventions of books in the digital age. While many studies have been done as to how child readers have capabilities to appreciate and interpret postmodern metafiction picture books, few studies on teachers and preservice teachers' reactions are not readily available. The role of teachers and preservice teachers are crucial for child readers to have access to affluent reading resources. This study discusses how preservice teachers read and respond to postmodern metafiction picture books using a deconstructive approach by means of binary opposites. Data was collected with 14 preservice teachers as to their likes/dislikes, reading levels, and reading paths about postmodern metafiction picture books. Expected pedagogical implications for literacy and language education were requested to address in their reading diaries and response papers. With their likes/ dislikes, since binary opposites always imply the hierarchy of power and value, the likes is apparently more valued and appreciated over their dislikes. This differentiated values are discussed in more detail with three recurring themes-Education, Morals and Behavior, and Tradition. With reading levels, there seems to be a gap existing between the authors' implied reader and literary critics' and the preservice teachers' ideal readers for the postmodern metafiction picture books. Although many studies have already revealed young readers' capability of appreciating postmodern metafiction, it depends a lot more on the teachers and preservice teachers whether children's right to have access to affluent literacy resources is respected or not. Preservice teachers' awareness of the potential of postmodern metafiction will work as an initial step to bring and realize the new reading path and new literacies in classrooms. By challenging metanarratives of children's literature, preservice teachers' readings of postmodern picture books reveals potentials to raise different reading paths and develop new literacies and other educational implications.

이 연구는 상상이란 수학학습 전 영역에서 모든 학생들에게 필수적이고 주요한 것이라고 가정하고, 학교수학에서 초등학생이 보여주는 수학적 상상에 주목하였다. 첫째로, 상상에 대한 연구를 중심으로 상상의 개념과 발달을 살펴보고 수학교육에 주는 함의점을 논의하였다. 둘째로, Egan(2008)이 말하는 상상력을 활용하는 기초적인 인지도구 즉, 은유, 상반된 쌍, 운율 리듬 패턴, 농담 유머, 심상, 잡담, 놀이, 신비 등을 중심으로 초등학생들의 수학 이야기에 나타나는 상상의 사례를 찾았다. 셋째로, 학생의 학년 변화에 따라 상상은 어떻게 변화하는지 분석하였다. 상상은 단지 심리학적인 현상으로서가 아니라 수학교육의 대상과 방법으로서 후속적인 연구가 필요하다.
