Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze questioning types of the Korean Elementary Mathematics Textbook in grade 3 and suggest the direction of questioning strategies for enhancing creativity in mathematics lessons. For the research, the researcher analyzed questioning types of the 3rd grade mathematics textbook and the changes of the questions compared with the questions in the previous textbooks. The author suggested the following recommendations. First, the questioning strategies of the revised mathematics textbook tends more to enhance students' creativity than the previous ones did. Second, teachers need to know the students' level of mathematics before starting their mathematics lessons because teachers can provide more effective differentiated questioning to the students. Third, students can response tuned to their level of mathematics if they meet with open-ended questions. It is desirable to develop good open-ended questions to fit students' abilities. Last, teachers should provide opportunities for students to share their own mathematical thinking. In risk-free environment, students can willingly participate at debating over mathematics proofs and refutation. Teachers should make efforts to make the classroom norm or culture free to debate among students, which leads to enhancement of students' creativity or mathematical creativity.

본 연구는 초등학교 수학교과서에서의 발문을 분석하고 초등 수학에서 창의성의 의미와 창의성 신장을 위한 효과적인 발문의 방향을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구를 위하여 창의성의 정의를 고찰하고 2007개정 교육과정에 의한 한국의 3학년 1학기 수학교과서에서의 발문 분석을 통하여 창의성 신장을 위한 효과적인 발문의 성격을 고찰해 보았다. 초등학생들의 수학 수업에서 창의성 신장을 위해서는 제시하는 과제의 성격뿐만 아니라 실제 수업에서 교사의 학생의 수준에 맞는 적절한 발문이 필수적임을 제안하였다.
