Abstract

In this study, the MKT level of pre-service mathematics teachers in the area of permutations and combinations was investigated, and MKT-Development Program(MKT-DP) focused on improving the MKT of pre-service mathematics teachers was developed and implemented to examine the effects of the program on the MKT in the area of permutations and combinations. Twenty-nine pre-service mathematics teachers participated in a four-week MKT-DP and MKT pre and post tests. According to the MKT pre test results for permutation and combination areas, pre-service teachers who participated in this study showed low levels of MKT in the permutation and combination areas, especially, the level of SCK and KCT was quite low. In order to examine the effects of MKT-DP, the results of pre- and post-MKT tests were analyzed, and a significant difference between pre- and post-tests was found only in the KCT sub-category. This shows that the MKT-DP developed in this study is effective in improving pre-services teachers' KCT in the area of permutation and combination. Although there were no statistically significant differences between the three remaining sub-categories(CCK, SCK, and KCS), the positive influence of MKT-DP can be expected throughout MKT, as a result of some level increase in post-test compared to the pre-test.

본 연구에서는 순열과 조합 영역에서 예비수학교사들의 MKT 수준을 알아보고, 예비교사들의 MKT 함양을 위한 프로그램(MKT-DP)을 개발·실행한 후 그 효과를 검증함으로써 예비교사 교육 프로그램의 개발 및 실행에 대한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. MKT 사전 검사 결과에 의하면, 본 연구에 참여한 예비교사들의 순열과 조합 영역의 MKT 수준이 높지 않음을 알 수 있었고, 특히 SCK와 KCT의 수준은 상당히 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 사전, 사후 MKT 검사 분석 결과 KCT 범주에서만 유의미한 차이가 나타나 본 연구에서 개발한 MKT-DP는 예비수학교사들의 KCT를 함양시키는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 3가지 하위 범주(CCK, SCK, KCS)에 대해서는 사전, 사후 검사 간에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았지만, 사전 검사에 비해 사후 검사에서 어느 정도의 수준 상승이 이루어진 것으로 나타나, MKT 전반에 걸쳐서 MKT-DP의 긍정적 영향력을 기대해 볼 수 있다.
