Abstract

Problem posing in school mathematics is generally regarded to make a new problem from contexts, information, and experiences relevant to realistic or mathematical situations. Also, it is to reconstruct a similar or more complicated new problem based on an original problem. The former is called as problem generation and the latter is as problem reformulation. The purpose of this study was to explore the co-relation between problem generation and problem reformulation, and the educational effectiveness of each problem posing. For this purpose, on the subject of 33 pre-service secondary school teachers, this study developed two types of problem posing activities. The one was executed as the procedures of [problem generation${\rightarrow}$solving a self-generated problem${\rightarrow}$reformulation of the problem], and the other was done as the procedures of [problem generation${\rightarrow}$solving the most often generated problem${\rightarrow}$reformulation of the problem]. The intent of the former activity was to lead students' maintaining the ability to deal with the problem generation and reformulation for themselves. Furthermore, through the latter one, they were led to have peers' thinking patterns and typical tendency on problem generation and reformulation according to the instructor(the researcher)'s guidance. After these activities, the subject(33 pre-service teachers) was responded in the survey. The information on the survey is consisted of mathematical difficulties and interests, cognitive and affective domains, merits and demerits, and application to the instruction and assessment situations in math class. According to the results of this study, problem generation would be geared to understand mathematical concepts and also problem reformulation would enhance problem solving ability. And it is shown that accomplishing the second activity of problem posing be more efficient than doing the first activity in math class.

본 연구에서는 '동일한' 문제 조건으로부터 생성과 재구성을 모두 경험할 수 있는 문제제기 활동을 적용하되, 활동을 세분화하여 학생들의 자주적인 활동을 강조한 활동과 학생들의 보편적 사고를 유도하며 교사 안내가 수반되는 활동으로 구분하여 이에 대한 두 절차를 구안하고, 이 두 활동에 의거하여 문제생성과 재구성 활동에 관해 탐색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여, 본 연구에서는 예비교사들을 대상으로 연구자가 구안한 문제제기 활동을 적용한 실험 수업 후 설문조사를 통하여 문제생성과 재구성에 대한 난이도 및 흥미도, 인지적 정의적 측면에서의 효과, 그리고 수학 수업 및 평가에서의 활용성 등을 탐색하였다. 그 결과, 문제생성은 창의력을 증진시키고 수학에 대한 흥미를 유발하며, 문제 재구성은 문제 해결력 향상에 도움이 되고 자신감을 길러주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수업 상황에서는 문제생성 활동이 더 효과적이고, 평가 상황에서는 문제재구성 활동이 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났으나 각 상황에서 문제생성과 재구성에 대한 응답의 차이가 크지 않았으므로 두 활동 모두 수업 및 평가에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 교사는 학습자의 수준, 가르칠 영역, 진도 등을 고려하여 수업 및 평가 상황에서 문제생성과 재구성 활동을 적절한 시기에 알맞게 적용함으로써 학습자의 인지적, 정의적 성취의 함양을 돕도록 해야 할 것이다.
