Abstract

This study is to diversely analyze teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) regarding to the area of plane figures and discuss the consideration for the materialization of the effective class in learning the area of plane figures by identifying the improvements based on problems indicated in PCK. The subjects of inquiry are what the problems with teachers' PCK regarding to the area of plane figures are and how they can be improved. In which is the first domain of PCK, teachers need to fully understand the concept of the area and the properties and classification of the area and length, recognized the sequence structure as a subject of guidance and improve the direction which naturally connects the flow of measurement by using random units in guidance of the area. In which is the second domain of PCK, teachers need to establish understanding of the concept for the area and understanding of a formula as a subject matter object and improve the activity, discovery and research oriented class for students as a guidance method by escaping from teacher oriented expository class and calculation oriented repetitive learning. They also need to avoid the biased evaluation of using a formula and evenly evaluate whether students understand the concept of the area as a performance evaluation method. In which is the third domain of PCK, teachers need to fully understand the concept of the area rather than explanation oriented correction and fundamentally teach students about errors by suggesting the activity to explore the properties of the area and length. They also need to plan a method to reflect student's affective aspects besides a compliment and encouragement and apply this method to the class. In which is the fourth domain of PCK, teachers need to increase the use of random units by having an independent consciousness about textbooks and supplementing the activity of textbooks and restructure textbooks by suggesting problematic situations in a real life and teaching the sequence structure. Also, class groups will need to be divided into an entire group, individual group, partner group and normal group.

본 연구에서는 평면도형의 넓이에 대한 교사의 교수학적 내용 지식(PCK)을 설문지와 수업 관찰을 통해서 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 다음과 같은 4가지 결론을 얻을 수 있다. (1) PCK의 '수학 내용 지식' 영역에서 교사는 넓이의 개념, 넓이와 길이의 속성 구분을 정확히 이해하고 배열구조를 지도의 대상으로 인식하여야 한다. (2) PCK의 '수학과 교수 방법 및 평가에 대한 지식' 영역에서 교사는 교과 목표를 넓이의 개념 이해와 공식의 이해를 균형적으로 설정하고 평가해야 한다. (3) PCK의 '수학 학습에 대한 학생 이해 지식' 영역에서 교사는 설명 위주의 오류수정 보다 넓이의 개념의 이해에 대한 활동을 제시해야 한다. (4) PCK의 '수학과 수업 상황에 대한 지식' 영역에서 교사는 교과서에 대한 주체적 의식을 가지고 교과서의 활동을 보완하여야 한다.
