  • 수학적 창의성을 함양하는 것은 최근 개정된 수학과 교육과정들에서 계속 강조해온 목표중의 하나이다. 그러나 일반 학생들을 대상으로 수학적 창의성을 함양하는 것에 관련된 연구는 아직 충분하지 않은 실정이다. 창의적인 인간의 육성을 표방하는 현실적 수학교육 이론은 일반 학생들을 대상으로 하는 수학적 창의성 교육에 시사점을 제공할 수 있음에도, 이에 대한 구체적인 논의가 이루어지지 않았다. 이 글에서는 수학적 창의성 교육의 관점에서 현실적 수학교육 이론을 재음미하여 공교육을 통한 수학적 창의성 교육의 방안을 모색하는 것에 목표를 둔다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 수학화를 통해 수학적 창조를 경험하도록 할 수 있으며, 이 때 확실성을 추구하고 확실성을 창조하도록 기회를 제공할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 학생들이 상상에 의하여 현실이라고 느끼는 맥락에서 출발해야 수학적 창조의 기회를 제공할 수 있다. 셋째, 학생들이 모델링에 의하여 현실 맥락과 결합된 수학을 창조하도록 할 수 있다. 넷째, 모델링은 주어진 모델이 왜 모델인가를 이해하는 것, 곧 주어진 모델의 의미를 창조하는 것에서 출발한다. 다섯째, 사고실험에 의하여 국소적인 교수이론을 개발하고, 이를 적용한 후 개선하는 것이 수학적 창의성 교육의 연구방법으로 적합하다. 결론적으로, 수학적 창의성의 함양을 보통의 수학수업에서 일반 학생들을 대상으로 구현하는 데에 현실적 수학교육 이론에서 제안하는 모델은 적절하고 유용한 방안이 될 수 있다.

  • Mathematics, by its nature, is a creative activity. Creativity can be developed either through considering its intrinsic beauty or by examining the role that it plays in applications to real world problems. Many of the great mathematicians have been vitally interested in applications and gained inspiration in developing new mathematics from the mathematical descriptions of physical phenomena. In this paper we will examine the processes of applying mathematics by looking at how mathematical models are formed and used. Applications from sport, the environment and populations are used as illustrations.

  • Based on the work of Haylock (cf [Haylock, D. W. (1987). A framework for assessing mathematical creativity in schoolchildren. Educ. Stud. Math. 18(1),59-74]) a mathematical creativity test containing items of two categories overcoming fixation and divergent thinking has been developed for Bengali medium school students with sample size 262. The items measuring divergent thinking are found highly internally consistent and there is a significant correlation between overcoming fixation and divergent thinking. Study of the factorial validity of the test by Thursstone's centroid method gives satisfactory result. Validity coefficient of the test with teachers' rating, alpha reliability and test-retest reliability of the test are also found satisfactory.

  • In this study, the instrument of mathematical problem posing ability and mathematical creativity ability tests were considered, and the differences between gifted and regular students in the ability were investigated by the test. The instrument consists of each 10 items and 5 items, and verified its quality due to reliability, validity and discrimination. Participants were 218 regular and 100 gifted students from seventh grade. As a result, not only problem solving but also mathematical creativity and problem posing could be the characteristics of the giftedness.

  • This study sheds light on the importance of developing creativity in mathematics class by examining the theoretical base of creativity and its relationship to mathematics. The study also reviewed the realities of developing creativity in mathematics courses, and it observed and analyzed the processes in which students and teachers solve the mathematics problems. By doing so, the study examined creative abilities of both students and teachers and suggests what teachers can do to tap the potential of the student. The subjects of the study are two groups of students and one group of mathematics teachers. These groups were required to solve a particular problems. The grading was made based on the mathematical creativity factors. There were marked differences in the ways of the solutions between of the student groups and the teacher group. It was clear that the teachers\\` thinking was limited to routine approaches in solving the given problems. In particular, there was a serious gap in the area of originality. As can be seen from the problem analysis by groups, there was a meaningful difference between the creativity factors of students and those of teachers. This study presented research findings obtained from students who were guided to freely express their creativity under encouragement and concern of their teachers. Thus, teachers should make an effort to break from their routine thinking processes and fixed ideas. In addition, teaching methods and contents should emphasize on development of creativity. Such efforts will surely lead to an outcome that is beneficial to students.

  • This study analyzes the mathematical creativity test as an illustrative example with scoring domains of fluency, flexibility and originality in order to make suggestions for obtaining maximum reliability based on a composite score depending on combinations of each scoring domain weights. This is done by performing a multivariate generalizability analysis on the test scores, which were allowed to access publicly, of 30 mathematically gifted elementary school students, and therefore error variances, generalizability coefficients, and effective weights have been calculated. The main results were as follows. First, the optimal weights should adjust to .5, .4, and .1 based on the maximum generalizability coefficient even though the original weights in the mathematical creativity test were equal for each scoring domain with fluency, flexibility and originality. Second, the mathematical creativity test using the three scoring domains of fluency, flexibility, and originality showed higher reliability than using one scoring domain such as fluency. These results are limited to the mathematical creativity test used in this study. However, the methodology applied in this study can help determine the optimal weights depending on each scoring domain when the tests constructed in various researchers or educational fields are composed of multiple scoring domains.

  • 본 논문에서는 초등학교 영재 학생들의 수학적 창의성 신장을 위한 수 연산 게임과 수업 시안을 개발하고 이를 적용하여 영재 학생들의 수학적 창의성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 창의적 문제 해결학습 모형을 토대로 기존의 게임을 활용하여 10차시의 수 연산 게임 프로그램을 개발하여 학생들에게 적용한 후 학생들의 수학적 창의성 변화를 알아보고자 영재학급 학생 20명을 상대로 검사지를 통한 단일-집단 사전-사후 검사 설계를 적용하였다. Leikin의 평가 준거와 수학적 창의성 측정 방안을 적용하여 얻은 결과, 영재학생들의 수학적 창의성이 신장되었음을 확인하였다.

  • Open-ended problems can foster deeper understanding of mathematical ideas, generating creative thinking and communication in students. High-order thinking tasks such as open-ended problems involve more ambiguity and higher level of personal risks for students than they are normally exposed to in routine problems. To explore the classroom-based factors that could support or inhibit such higher-order processes, this paper also describes two cases of Singapore primary school teachers who have successfully or unsuccessfully implemented an open-ended problem in their mathematics lessons.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between creativity development and debate in solving a probability task. We developed the probability task with instructional strategies facilitating debating among students. 33 students in grade 11 who were identified as gifted participated in this study. The findings indicated that debating leads students to critical and reflective thinking on prior learning regarding probability concepts, which nurtured creative ideas on sample space.
