Abstract

In this paper, we propose a direction of teaching method for future generations. In order to suggest such the direction, teaching and learning materials that integrate coding activities and mathematical modeling were developed through top-down and bottom-up processes. Coding and engineering experts and mathematics education experts developed teaching and learning materials through councils (top-down courses) and applied them to 24 high school first graders based on student responses (bottom-up courses). Additionally, the developed curriculum helped students increase interest and motivation and realize conceptual understanding, problem posing, and problem solving in mathematics. On the basis of these results, it provided an idea about how to develop curriculum combining mathematical modeling with coding activities, needed for the fourth industrial revolution.

본 연구는 미래 세대를 위한 교육 방법의 방향성을 제안하는 것이다. 이와 같은 방향성을 제안하기 위해 코딩활동과 수학적 모델링을 통합한 교수학습자료를 하향식과 상향식 과정을 통해 개발하였다. 코딩과 공학 전문가와 수학교육 전문가들이 협의회를 통해 교수·학습 자료를 개발하고(하향식 과정) 고등학교 1학년 학생 24명에게 적용하여 학생의 반응을 토대로 자료를 수정하였다(상향식 과정). 그 결과, 수업에 참여한 학생들은 개발된 자료를 바탕으로 동료들과 논의를 하고 코드를 수정하여 자신만의 스토리를 시각적으로 구현하였다. 한편 이 과정을 통해 수학 학습에 대한 흥미와 동기가 유발될 수 있고, 더 나아가 수학의 개념 이해, 문제 제기, 문제 해결에도 도움을 줄 수 있다고 결론지을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 4차 산업혁명 시대에 필요한 수학적 모델링과 코딩 활동을 통합하는 교육과정을 개발하는데 아이디어를 제공하였다고 볼 수 있다.
