수학 스토리텔링 자료 활용이 수학적 창의성 및 태도에 미치는 효과

Abstract

Objectives In this study, mathematical storytelling materials were developed using situations or mathematical history that students could easily experience with the aim of enhancing mathematical creativity and mathematical attitudes. In this way, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on the improvement of students' mathematical creativity and mathematical attitudes after conducting learning activities.
 Methods This study was conducted on 56 students in two classes in the second grade of 00 High School in the humanities of 00 metropolitan city. Based on the midterm exam results of the first semester of the second grade, two classes with similar averages were selected, one class was divided into experimental classes and the other class was divided into comparative classes, and 13 classes were conducted for about two months from May 3 to July 4, 2020. The experimental group (28 students) conducted classes using mathematical storytelling materials developed by the researcher, and the comparative group (28 students) conducted traditional classes centered on textbooks and teacher guidance.
 Results The results were obtained as follows by analyzing the effect of classes using mathematical storytelling materials on students' mathematical creativity and mathematical attitudes. First, mathematical creativity and mathematical attitude could be enhanced by classes using mathematical storytelling materials. Second, the mathematical creativity of each group of experimental and comparative classes was analyzed. Classes using mathematical storytelling materials were more effective in mathematical creativity and mathematical attitudes compared to traditional classes centered on textbooks and teacher guides for students in the upper, middle, and lower grades. Third, classes using math storytelling materials changed students' interest. However, students in the lower group tended to bring inferiority within the team. Therefore, in classes using math storytelling materials, it should be guided that lower-class students should learn in cooperation with other students without feeling inferior.
 Conclusions In conclusion, the experimental class that used mathematical storytelling data was more effective in mathematical creativity and mathematical attitudes than the comparative class.
