의사소통으로서의 쓰기가 수학 학습 능력 및 수학적 태도에 미치는 영향 = The Effects of Writing as a Communication on Learning Abilities in Mathematics and Mathematrical Attitudes

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

An important topic in current mathematics education research is to relate mathematics to communication. Communication in mathematics has been highlighted as an important goal for all children. And because writing is a way of clarifying and refining one's own thoughts, written communication is important.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of mathematical writing activities on the achievement of elementary children in mathematics and on affective domain. That is, this study focuses on investigating the effects of mathematical writing activities on ability in and on attitudes towards mathematics.
This study was designed to use nonequivalent control group pretest -posttest design. Two 6th grade classes were selected from an elementary school in Chinhae for this study, one for an experimental group and the other for a control group. One class was taught mathematics by using methods of writing activities and the other was taught by traditional methods. Students of experimental group were given worksheets for cultivating mathematics learning abilities in every session. These worksheets include completion, lead sentences, warm-ups, rewording, word banks and debriefing. And they were given worksheets for improving in mathematical attitudes one or two times in a week. They were asked to express feelings about mathematical story, to solve a mathematical puzzle, to draw a figure and to write about a given subject. This study was lasted from May 29, 2000 to July 15, 2000 for 7 weeks.
The results obtained from the data analysis were as follows :
1.There was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in mathematics learning ability at the significant level of .01.
2.There was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in mathematical attitudes at the significant level of .05. That is, this research shows that writing activities in mathematics affect positively on mathematical attitudes such as learning attitudes of mathematics, the appreciation of usefulness about mathematics and the degree of interest in mathematics. The mean score of confidence on mathematics in an experimental group increased, but it is not significant.
The results are like theses. An experimental group which has clone mathematical writing activities showed better mathematics teaming abilities and mathematical attitudes in affection domain than a control group which has not. The fact, tells us that mathematical writing activities make children to enhance the mathematical power and are effective to build up children's attitudes towards mathematics.
