  • 본 논문은 수학 수업을 보는 관점으로서 은유에 대한 연구를 살펴보고, 본 연구자 자신이며 초등교사인 [나]를 설정하여 수학 수업에 대한 은유의 사례를 밝혀보았다. 첫째로 은유는 하나의 수사법으로서가 아니라 사고양식으로 보려는 현대 은유이론의 흐름을 개관하고, 둘째로 수학 수업을 은유로서 해석하려는 수학교육의 연구들을 소개하였다. 끝으로 수학 수업의 은유를 밝히는 사례로서, 초등교사인 연구자 자신을 Mee1, Mee2, Mee3으로 시기를 구분하여 수학 수업의 은유를 추출하였다. Mee1의 수학 수업은 [모험], Mee2의 수학 수업은 [숨바꼭질], Mee3의 수학 수업은 [불꽃놀이]라는 은유를 찾을 수 있었으며, 세 시기의 수학 수업의 은유 분석 을 통하여 초등교사 [나]의 수학 수업에 대한 생각의 변화 과정을 살펴보았다.

  • Metaphor is the main representations of teachers' practical knowledge, which can help students to understand mathematics better. Through the recording and quantitative analysis of video cases of expert teachers in mathematics classroom, there are some results after analysis: 1) Teachers use many metaphors in the classroom and most of that are structural-ontological metaphors, which takes a certain period of time. 2) Teachers use the metaphors mainly in the teaching process of introduce and explore by the form of question-answer. 3) During the process of concept teaching, the metaphors from the real-world examples can promote the students have more motivation to study. During the process of procedure teaching, the metaphors from similar materials can promote the students to understand the operational skill better.

  • This paper is to give a brief introduction to a new discipline called 'conceptual metaphor' and 'mathematical metaphor(Lakoff & Nunez, 2000) from the viewpoint of mathematics education and to analyze the metaphors at 4th graders' mathematics classroom as a case of conceptual metaphors. First, contemporary conception on metaphors is reviewed. Second, it is discussed on the effects and defaults of metaphors in teaching and learning mathematics. Finally, as a case study of mathematical metaphors, conceptual metaphors on the concepts of triangles at 4th graders' mathematics classrooms are analyzed. Students may reason metaphorically to understand mathematical concepts. Conceptual metaphor makes mathematics enormously rich, but it also brings confusion and paradox. Digging out the metaphors may lighten both our spontaneous everyday conceptions and scientific theorizing(Sfard, 1998). Studies of metaphors give us the power of understanding the culture of mathematics classroom and also generate it.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of pre-service elementary teachers' metaphors on mathematics textbooks. Their metaphors describe individual and collective patterns of thinking and action on mathematics teaching and learning. To analyze their metaphors, qualitative analysis method based on Lakoff and Johnson's theory of metaphor (1980) was adopted. Metaphors on mathematics textbooks were elicited from 161 pre-service elementary school teachers through writing prompts. The writing prompt responses revealed three types and thirteen categories: As Type I, there were (1) 'Principles', (2) 'Summary', (3) 'Manual', (4) 'Encyclopedia', (5) 'Code', (6) 'Guidelines', and (7) 'Example'. As TypeII, there were (9) 'Assistant', (10) 'Friend', (11) 'Scale', and (12) 'Ongoing'. As TypeIII, there was (13) 'Trap'. Among these categories, 'Guidelines', 'Assistant', and 'Ongoing' were the most frequently revealed. These results indicate that the relations of mathematics curriculum, textbooks, and classrooms are not a unilateral way but should communicate with each other.

  • The matter of understanding mathematical concepts in learning mathematics is one of the most important issues in mathematics education. There have been so many studies about it but the more practical study has been asked. When we Think using intuitional models such as examples, figures of speech, situations and activities, it is supposed that the major elements of cognitive mechanism are prototypes, analogies, metaphors and metonymies. In this paper, we tried to examine Rosch's prototype theory, the studies about analogies in congnitive psychology, Lakoff and Johnson's metaphor theory from the viewpoint of teaching mathematics, and then tried to analyze examples, analogies, analogical transfers, metaphorical expressions, metonymies in middle school mathematics text books used in Korea now.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 학생들의 흥미와 동기를 유발할 수 있는 수학적 은유를 활용하여 수업 참여에 도움을 줄 수 있는 교사의 담론 구조를 분석하는 것이다. 이러한 목적 달성을 위해 학생들의 경험과 수학적 개념을 연결하여 설명하는 교수법을 실행하는 경력 교사의 한 학기 수업을 관찰하였다. 연구 대상 교사가 한 학기 동안 수학적 개념과 문제 해결 과정에서 다양하게 활용한 은유 중에서, 일상생활과 수학적 내용을 단순히 연결하는 상황을 제외하고 은유를 활용하는 교수법 개발에 도움을 줄 수 있는 대표적인 수업 사례 2개 차시를 추출하였다. 대표적으로 선택된 2개 차시 수업은 은유를 활용하는 수업 사례 1개 차시와 은유를 활용하고 문제를 확장·적용하는 수업 사례 1개 차시이다. 분석 결과 학생들과의 소통을 기반으로 수학적 은유를 활용하는 교사의 담론 구조는 수학 교육회복을 위한 교수법 개발에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 초등 수학 수업에서 사용되는 언어적 은유와 제스처 사용에 대한 사례를 분석하여 수학학습 지도 방안으로서의 은유 및 제스처의 가치를 재고해 보고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 2007 개정 교육과정 초등학교 6학년 1학기 7단원 정비례와 반비례 중 4차시 반비례 알아보기 단원을 주제로 한 수업에서 교사에게서 나타난 언어적 은유와 제스처를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 본 연구에서 관찰된 수학적 은유에는 기계은유와 가상적 이동은유가 있으며 제스처는 형상적 제스처, 은유적 제스처, 지시적 제스처의 형태로 관찰되었다. 이러한 은유들은 수학 수업 전반에 걸쳐 고르게 분포하여 다양한 형태로 표현되었으며 분석 결과를 토대로 수학 수업에 있어서 은유 활용의 교육적 의의를 재고해 보았다.

  • The notion of metaphor has been increasingly popular in research of mathematics education. In particular, metaphor becomes a useful unit for analysis to provide a profound insight into mathematical reasoning and problem solving. In this context, this paper takes metaphor as an analytic unit to examine the relationship between objectivity and subjectivity in mathematical reasoning. Specifically, the discourse analysis focuses on the code switching between literal language and metaphor in mathematical discourse. It is shown that the linguistic code switching is parallel with the switching between two different kinds of mathematical knowledge, that is, factual knowledge and mathematical imagination, which constitute objectivity and subjectivity in mathematical reasoning. Furthermore, the pattern of the linguistic code switching reveals the dialectical relationship between the two poles of mathematical reasoning. Based on the understanding of the dialectical relationship, this paper provides some educational implications. First, the code-switching highlights diverse aspects of mathematics learning. Learning mathematics is concerned with developing not only technicality but also mathematical creativity. Second, the dialectical relationship between objectivity and subjectivity suggests that teaching and teaming mathematics is socioculturally constructed. Indeed, it is shown that not all metaphors are mathematically appropriated. They should be consistent with the cultural model of a mathematical concept under discussion. In general, this sociocultural perspective on mathematical metaphor highlights the sociocultural organization of teaching and loaming mathematics and provides a theoretical viewpoint to understand epistemological diversities in mathematics classroom.

  • Traditionally, there are many inherent restrictions in highschool mathematics textbooks. They are restricted in its contents and inevitably resorted to reader's ability of intuition. So they are usually lacked logical precisions and have various differences in expressions. We are mainly concerned with the definite integral and its applications in current highschool mathematics II textbooks according to 6th curriculum. We choose 6 of them arbitrarily and survey by comparison to deduce some controversial topics among them as follows. 1) absurd metaphors in formula process 2) confusions in important notations and too much choices in terms and statements. 3) lack of precisions in - teaching hierarchy (between some contents of Physics and the applications of definite integral) - introducing a proof of theorem (fundamental theorem of Calculus I) - introducing the methods (integral substitutions 1, ll) 4) adopting small topics such as - mean value theorem of integral - integrals with variable limits. In coming 7th curriculum, highschool students in Korea are supposed to choose calculus as a whole, independent course. So we hope that the suggested controversial topics are to be referred by authors to improve the preceding Mathematics ll textbooks and for teachers to use them for better mathematics education.
