Abstract

R. L. Moore's discovery methods are known to have been very effective with certain classes of students. However when the method was attempted by others at the undergraduate level, the results sometimes were disappointing. In this article we study the history of developing modified Moore methods with small group discovery method for the purpose of undergraduate education, and then we discuss some educational point of view in our universities.

본 연구는 20세기 미국 대학의 수학 교육현장에서 큰 영향을 미쳐온 R. L. 무어 교수법이 학부 수학교육 과정에 효과적으로 적용되기 위해 어떻게 연구되고 변형되어왔는지를 지켜보면서, 교육학적 논의를 통해 우리나라 대학교육에 시사하는 점을 논의하고자 한다.
