중 1 수학 과목의 능력진단에 대한 학생의견과 개별 보충학습 지도의 효과 분석 = An Analysis of Survey Results of Students' Opinions on Ability Diagnosis and Guidance for Individual Catch-up Study in Middle School 1st Year Mathematics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ability diagnosis is similar to medical diagnosis from a number of perspectives. However, a medical diagnosis is carried out by a direct observation through medical apparatuses, while an ability diagnosis is made by an indirect observation in the form of testing. In this respect, ability diagnosis is more difficult than medical diagnosis. Confined to middle school 1st year Mathematics, we collected survey data in 1996 from monthly tests. The data consist of student responses to diagnosis results on their abilities and of the effects of catch-up guidances for individual students which are provided based on their ability diagnosis outcomes. We analyzed the data and summarized the result in the paper. One of the main results is that the ability diagnosis as used in the paper has a very positive effect on catch-up study. But it is important to note that the effects vary across the ability groups, the effect appearing weaker in the lower ability group than in the higher ability group. This calls our attention to the need that the ability diagnosis and guidance for the catch-up study be differentiated among ability groups.
