탐구중심 유아수학교육 프로그램의 교육적 효과 탐색 = A Study of the Educational Effects of an Inquiry Based Early Childhood Mathematics Education Program

국문 초록 (Abstract)

수학적 능력에 대한 사회적 요구와 유아의 비형식적 수학지식이 주목되는 시점에 맞춰, 탈구중심 유아수학교육 프로그램을 구성하고, 그 적용 효과를 탐색하였다. 프로그램의 목적은 유아의 수학적 힘, 즉 수학적 성향, 수학 내용에 대한 이해, 수학 탐구과정의 참여로 설정하였고, 수와 수세기, 수의 비교와 순서, 더하기와 빼기, 수의 부분과 전체, 묶음 만들기와 자리 값, 곱하기와 나누기, 모양, 변형 및 대칭, 공간적 방향성, 공간적 추론 및 시각화를 교육내용으로 하며, 문제해결, 추론하기, 외사소통, 관계맺기, 표상하기, 사회적 규범형성이 주요 교수방법으로 구성되었다. 프로그램의 적용 결과 유아와 수학적 성향, 수 문제해결력, 기하 이해력과 공간 이해력이 증진되었다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To study the effects of Inquiry based Early Childhood Mathematics Education Programs on young children's knowledge and disposition toward mathematics, the author constructed such a program after reviewing the literature and examining several overseas programs. After the program was constructed, it was presented to early childhood education experts and kindergarten teachers for revision and supplementation. The subjects of this experiment were 50 five-year-old children who were divided into 2 groups : an experimental group with 26 children and a comparison group with 24 children. The children in the experimental group were involved in inquiry based program, while teaching materials containing the same education content were introduced to the comparison group as an individual or group activity during free-choice activity time. At the end of the 11 week program, there were significant differences between the experimental and the control group : the experimental group improved in disposition toward mathematics and in number, geometry and spatial problem-solving abilities.
