Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to examine difficulties students face in the inquiry activities of quadratic surface throughout mathematically gifted students' analogical inference and the influence of Cabri 3D in students' inquiry activities. For this examination, students' inquiry activities were observed, data of inferring quadratic surface process was analyzed, and students were interviewed in the middle of and at the end of their activities. The result of this thesis is as following: First, students had difficulties to come up with quadratic surfaced graph in the inquiry activity of quadratic surface and express the standard type equation. Secondly, students had difficulties confirming the process of inferred quadratic surface. Especially, students struggled finding out the difference between the inferred quadratic surface and the existing quadratic surface and the cause of it. Thirdly, applying Cabri 3D helped students to think of quadratic surface graph, however, since it could not express the quadratic surface graph in a perfect form, it is hard to say that Cabri 3D is helpful in the process of confirming students' inferred quadratic surface.
유추는 수학을 탐구하는 중요한 방법 중의 하나로 이전 경험 또는 지식에 대한 반성적 사고를 통해 새로운 지식을 구성하는 도구이며, 낯설고 새로운 영역을 유사한 친숙한 영역을 바탕으로 추론해서 이해하는 과정이다. 본 연구는 수학영재학생들이 유추를 실제 수학문제에 적용해 보는 활동으로 이차곡선(포물선, 타원, 쌍곡선)에서 유추를 통해 이차곡면을 탐구해 보고, 그 과정에서 나타나는 어려움과 이를 극복하는데 Cabri 3D가 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다.
