Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the applications and possibilities of major programs that provide services using artificial intelligence in mathematics education. For this study, related papers, reports, and materials were collected and analyzed, focusing on materials mostly published within the last five years. The researcher searched the keywords of "artificial intelligence", "artificial intelligence", "AI" and "mathematics education" independently or in combination. As a result of the study, artificial intelligence for mathematics education was mostly supporting learners' personalized mathematics learning, defining it as an auxiliary role to support human mathematics teachers, and upgrading the technology of not only cognitive aspects but also affective aspects. As suggestions, the researcher argued that followings are necessary: Research for the establishment of an elaborate artificial intelligence mathematical system, discovery of artificial intelligence technology for appropriate use to support mathematics education, development of high quality of mathematics contents for artificial intelligence, and the establishment and operation of a cloud-based comprehensive system for mathematics education. The researcher proposed that continuous research to effectively help students study mathematics using artificial intelligence including students' emotional or empathetic abilities, and collaborative learning, which is only possible in offline environments. Also, the researcher suggested that more sophisticated materials should be developed for designing mathematics teaching and learning by using artificial intelligence.

이 연구의 목적은 국내외 인공지능을 활용한 수학교육 서비스의 주요 기능과 인공지능의 활용 가능성을 알아보는 것이다. 이 연구를 위해 최근 5년 이내에 발행한 자료를 중심으로 출판물 및 인터넷에서 "인공지능", "人工知能", "Artificial Intelligence" "AI". "수학교육"의 키워드를 독립적으로 또는 조합하여 검색하면서 관련 논문 및 보고서 그리고 인터넷 자료 등을 수집하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 수학교육을 위한 인공지능 서비스는 대부분 학습자의 개인별 수학 맞춤형 학습을 지원하고, 인간 수학 교사를 지원하기 위한 보조적인 역할로 규정하며, 인지적인 측면뿐만 아니라 정의적인 측면의 기술을 고도화하고 있었다. 제언으로, 정교한 수학 계통체계의 구축을 위한 연구, 인공지능 기술을 발굴하여 수학교육에 활용하는 방안, 인공지능 활용을 위한 양질의 수학 콘텐츠를 개발, 수학교육을 위한 클라우드 기반의 종합 시스템 구축과 운영이 필요함을 주장하였다.
