Abstract

Understanding the belief of mathematics pre-service teachers is essential in conducting and designing the effective teacher education program. This study analyzed the mathematical belief of the elementary school pre-service teachers. The results of the study are as follows. First, persistence factor, which is the belief about solving mathematical problems, following teacher direction factor, which is the belief about mathematical studies, activity involvement factor, and interest factor, which is the belief about self-concept, showed much connection with other mathematical belief factors. Second, the stereotype factor, which is the belief about mathematics, are affecting the following teacher direction factor. The process factor, which is the belief about solving mathematical problems, are affecting the activity involvement factor. Third, as for the comparison of the mathematical beliefs according to grades, only the stereotype and usefulness factors, which are the beliefs about mathematics, and the benefit factor, which is the belief about self-concept, had statistically significant differences. Fourth, as for the comparison of the mathematical beliefs according to majors, all the mathematical beliefs except for the confidence factor and benefit factor, which is the belief about self-concept, had significant differences. Based on the results of this study, we need to establish the mathematical beliefs that the elementary school pre-service teachers should have, and prepare various measures such as education program for pre-service teachers and instruction-learning methods.

수학 예비교사의 신념을 이해하는 것은 효과적인 교사교육 프로그램을 시행하고 설계하기 위하여 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 초등 예비교사의 수학적 신념에 대해 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 수학문제해결에 대한 신념인 끈기 요인, 수학학습에 대한 신념인 교사주도 요인, 활동참여 요인, 자아개념에 대한 신념인 흥미 요인은 다른 수학적 신념요인들과 관련성이 많았다. 둘째, 수학교과에 대한 신념인 고정관념 요인이 교사주도 요인에 영향을 주고 있고, 수학문제해결에 대한 신념인 과정 요인이 활동참여 요인에 영향을 주고 있었다. 셋째, 학년별 수학적 신념 비교에서는 수학교과에 대한 신념인 고정관념, 유용성 요인과 자아개념에 대한 신념인 유익성 요인만이 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 넷째, 전공별 수학적 신념비교에서는 자아개념에 대한 신념인 유익성 요인과 자신감 요인을 제외한 나머지 수학적 신념에서 모두 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 초등 예비교사가 지녀야 할 수학적 신념이 무엇인지를 정립하고, 예비교사교육과정, 교수 학습 방법등 다양한 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다.
