We used the quantitative method to compare with Chinese junior middle school students' mathematics belief systems in Chaoxian and Han nationalities, and their correlations within its own group. By comparison, the results revealed that all students in Han and Chaoxian nationalities hold multiple beliefs, and their belief systems are not stable. In addition, there were some differences and similarities between their belief systems in two nationalities, and significant correlations were founded.

본 연구는 수학과 관련된 수학교사와 학생들의 신념을 잠재집단분석(Latent Class Analysis; LCA)을 이용하여 분석하였다. '수학의 본질', '수학의 교수', '수학적 능력'에 대한 고등학교 수학교사 60명의 설문과 '수학교과', '수학문제해결', '수학학습', '자아개념'에 대한 고등학생 1850명의 설문에 대해 유사한 응답을 한 교사와 학생을 각각 소집단으로 분류하고, 그 신념특성을 분석하며 신념프로파일을 작성하였다. 관찰결과, 수학교사들은 '수학의 본질'에 대해 3개, '수학의 교수'와 '수학적 능력'에 대해서는 각각 2개의 신념소집단으로 분류되었다. 또한, 학생들은 '자아개념'에 대해 3개, '수학교과', '수학문제해결', '수학학습'에 대해서는 각각 2개의 신념소집단으로 분류되었다. 이 연구에서 사용된 잠재집단분석은 수학적 신념을 귀납적으로 범주화하는 새로운 방법으로, 교사와 학생의 신념의 상관관계 및 인과관계를 통계적으로 분석하는데 기초가 될 수 있다.

The primary purpose of the present study is to provide the sources to improve the mathematical problem solving performance by analyzing the effects of the belief systems and the misconceptions of the middle school students in solving the problems. To attain the purpose of this study, the reserch is designed to find out the belief systems of the middle school students in solving the mathematical problems, to analyze the effects of the belief systems and the attitude on the process of the problem solving, and to identify the misconceptions which are observed in the problem solving. The sample of 295 students (boys 145, girls 150) was drawn out of 9th grade students from three middle schools selected in the Kangdong district of Seoul. Three kinds of tests were administered in the present study: the tests to investigate (1) the belief systems, (2) the mathematical problem solving performance, and (3) the attitude in solving mathematical problems. The frequencies of each of the test items on belief systems and attitude, and the scores on the problem solving performance test were collected for statistical analyses. The protocals written by all subjects on the paper sheets to investigate the misconceptions were analyzed. The statistical analysis has been tabulated on the scale of 100. On the analysis of written protocals, misconception patterns has been identified. The conclusions drawn from the results obtained in the present study are as follows; First, the belief systems in solving problems is splited almost equally, 52.95% students with the belief vs 47.05% students with lack of the belief in their efforts to tackle the problems. Almost half of them lose their belief in solving the problems as soon as they given. Therefore, it is suggested that they should be motivated with the mathematical problems derived from the daily life which drew their interests, and the individual difference should be taken into account in teaching mathematical problem solving. Second. the students who readily approach the problems are full of confidence. About 56% students of all subjects told that they enjoyed them and studied hard, while about 26% students answered that they studied bard because of the importance of the mathematics. In total, 81.5% students built their confidence by studying hard. Meanwhile, the students who are poor in mathematics are lack of belief. Among are the students accounting for 59.4% who didn't remember how to solve the problems and 21.4% lost their interest in mathematics because of lack of belief. Consequently, the internal factor accounts for 80.8%. Thus, this suggests both of the cognitive and the affective objectives should be emphasized to help them build the belief on mathematical problem solving. Third, the effects of the belief systems in problem solving ability show that the students with high belief demonstrate higher ability despite the lack of the memory of the problem solving than the students who depend upon their memory. This suggests that we develop the mathematical problems which require the diverse problem solving strategies rather than depend upon the simple memory. Fourth, the analysis of the misconceptions shows that the students tend to depend upon the formula or technical computation rather than to approach the problems with efforts to fully understand them This tendency was generally observed in the processes of the problem solving. In conclusion, the students should be taught to clearly understand the mathematical concepts and the problems requiring the diverse strategies should be developed to improve the mathematical abilities.
