Abstract

Despite the recent emphasis on value research in mathematics education along with the significance of values from a new perspective, there has been a lack of research on the values perceived by teachers and students in Korea. This paper analyzes how fifth-grade students would perceive the values of a master teacher with expertise in elementary mathematics education after her teaching of mathematics and whether their values on mathematics learning would change. According to the study, the students recognized that the master teacher valued understanding, preview-review, picture, problem, and reason in mathematics learning. Among these, the value of understanding was perceived as the core value. An analysis of the students' values on general mathematics learning and personal mathematics learning showed that preview and review were the most important before and after the master teachers' teaching. An analysis of the changes in the values of students showed the greatest change in the value of understanding. Instead of accepting the values of the master teacher as it were, students actively reconstructed and maintained them. Based on these results, this paper has drawn implications regarding the consideration of students' values in mathematics learning.

최근 수학교육에서 가치(values)에 대한 재조명과 함께 교사와 학생의 수학 교수·학습에 대한 가치 연구가 부각되는 반면에, 국내에서는 이에 대한 연구가 많지 않다. 본 논문은 초등수학교육에 전문성을 가진 한 수석교사가 5학년 학생들을 대상으로 수학 수업을 실행하였을 때 학생들이 수석교사의 가치를 어떻게 인식하는지, 수업 전후에 수학 학습 가치의 변화가 있는지를 분석한 것이다. 연구 결과 학생들은 수석교사가 수학 수업에서 이해, 예습·복습, 그림, 문제, 이유 등을 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 인식하였고, 특히 이해를 수석교사의 핵심가치로 인식하고 있었다. 학생들의 일반적 수학 학습 가치 및 개인적 수학 학습 가치를 분석하였을 때, 수업 전후에 동일하게 예습·복습을 가장 중요하게 인식하고 있었으나, 변화의 측면에서 보면 이해의 가치에서 가장 큰 변화를 보였다. 학생들은 자신이 인식한 수석교사의 가치를 있는 그대로 수용하기 보다는 능동적으로 가치를 재구성하는 양상을 보였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 토대로 본 논문은 수학 학습에서 학생들의 가치를 고려하는 것과 관련한 시사점을 제공한다.
