수학적 모델링 과정에서 수학화의 기호학적 분석 = A Semiotic Analysis on Mathematization in Mathematical Modeling Process

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Though the term “mathematical modeling” has no single definition or perspective, it is pursued commonly by groups from various perspectives who emphasize the activities of understanding and representing real phenomenon mathematically, building models to solve problems, and reinterpreting real phenomenon to make an attempt to understand the real world and related mathematical models more deeply. The purpose of this study is to identify how mathematization arises and find difficulties of mathematization in mathematical modeling process that share common features with the mathematical modeling activities as presented here. As a result of this research, we confirmed that the students mathematized real phenomena by building various representations, and interpreting them with regard to relationships and contexts inherent real phenomena. The students’ communication fostered interplay between iconic representations and indexical representations. We also identified difficulties of mathematization in mathematical modeling process.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

수학적 모델링에 대한 정의와 관점은 단일하지 않다. 그러나 실세계 현상을 수학적으로 이해하여 표현하고, 모델을 세워 문제를 해결하며, 다시 실세계 현상에 대한 재해석을 통해 실세계 그리고 관련된 수학적 모델에 대한 심층적인 이해를 꾀하는 활동에 대한 강조는 수학적 모델링에 대한 여러 관점에서 공통적으로 추구하는 바이다. 이 연구는 수학적 모델링 활동에 대한 앞서 제시한 공통적인 특징을 준수할 때, 수학화가 어떻게 일어나는지, 그 과정상의 어려움은 무엇인지를 확인하는 것에 목표를 둔다. 연구 결과, 학생들은 수학적 모델링 과정에서의 수학화 활동에서 다양한 표상체를 구축하고 이를 실세계 현상의 관계적인 측면과 맥락에 비추어 해석하면서 현상을 재조직한다는 점을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 학생들의 의사소통 과정에 드러난 표상체의 기능 변화를 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 표상체가 적절하지 않은 단서를 제공할 수 있다는 점은 수학화를 어렵게 하는 요인으로 드러났다.
