능력별 소집단 협동학습이 수학 학업성취도와 흥미도 및 수학적 태도에 미치는 효과

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to find ways for students to improve their overall mathematics achievement, interest, and mathematical attitude toward math learning through small group cooperative learning by ability. Methods The study was conducted on 58 students in 2 classes in the 2nd grade of 00 Humanities High School. OO High School is located in OO Metropolitan City. Two classes were selected based on the results of the midterm exam in the first semester of the first grade. Class 1 was divided into an experimental group and another class 1 was divided into a comparative group. From April 29 to July 9, 2022, 13 classes were conducted for about 2 months. The experimental group (33 students) was a class that was taught by cooperative learning of small groups by ability, and the comparative group (33 students) was a class that was taught based on traditional textbooks centered on explanatory expressions. Results Through this study, the following results were obtained. First, in this study, learning contents for each unit were set and activity papers were used for small group cooperative learning by ability. By applying this to the class, it was possible to improve mathematics achievement, interest, and mathematical attitude. Second, classes using small group cooperative learning by ability were more effective in mathematics achievement, interest, and mathematical attitude compared to traditional textbook-oriented classes centered on narrative for top, middle, and bottom students. Third, in classes using small group cooperative learning by ability, they were also interested in lower-level students excluded from general mathematics classes, and actively participated and improved the level of mathematics achievement. Conclusions In conclusion, the experimental group that used small group cooperative learning by ability had significant differences in mathematics achievement, interest, and mathematical attitude than the comparative group.
