Abstract

In the early days, the use of concept maps in mathematics education focused on how to represent mathematical ideas in the concept map. In recent years, however, concept maps have proved beneficial for improving problem solving ability. Conceptual diagrams can be used for collaboration among students, tools for exploring problems, tools for introducing problem structures, tools for developing and systematizing knowledge systems. In this study, we focused on the structure analysis of mathematical problems using Concept Map based on the analysis of previous research. In addition, we have devised a method of using concept maps for problem analysis and a method of analysis of systematic mathematical problem structure. The method developed in this study was found to have significant value by applying to the university scholastic ability test.

수학교육에서 Concept Map(개념그림)을 활용하기 시작한 초기에는 Concept Map이라는 그림 안에 수학적 아이디어를 어떻게 표상할 수 있느냐에 초점이 맞추어져 있었다. 하지만, 최근 연구에 따르면 Concept Map이 문제해결력과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 구체적으로 Concept Map은 학생들 사이의 협력적 문제해결의 도구, 문제를 탐구하기 위한 도구, 문제의 구조를 소개하기 위한 도구, 지식의 체계를 개발하고 체계화하는 도구 등으로 사용될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Concept Map에 대한 선행연구 분석을 기반으로 Concept Map을 활용한 수학 문제의 구조 분석에 집중하였다. 그 결과 수학 문제 구조 분석을 위한 Concept Map의 활용 방법을 개발하였고, 개발된 자료를 적용하여 실제 수학 문제 분석에 적용함으로써 그 실현 가능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 수학 문제 구조의 파악, 수학과 교육과정 및 교과서와 일관성 있는 문제의 개발, 수학 문제의 난이도 분석 등에 효과적으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
