Abstract

In this study, in accordance with the research trend that the learner's emotions expressed positively or negatively in mathematics learning or the learner's beliefs and attitudes toward mathematics learning affect the results of mathematics learning, the learner's emotions and affective factors are analyzed in the learner's own learning. A power that can be adjusted according to a goal or purpose is needed, and I tried to explain this power through meta-affect. To this end, the meaning of the definitional and conceptual factors of meta-affect was explored based on prior studies. Affective factors of meta-affect were viewed as emotions, attitudes, and beliefs, and conceptual factors of meta-affect were viewed as awareness, evaluating, controlling, utilization, and monitoring, and the meaning of each conceptual factor was also defined. In this study, the conceptual factors and meanings of meta-affect in terms of using them to help in learning mathematics by controlling them, beyond the identification or examination of the characteristics of the affective factors, which are meaningfully dealt with in the field of mathematics education.

본 연구는 수학 학습에서 긍정적이거나 부정적으로 발현되는 학습자의 감정이나 학습자가 보유한 수학에 대한 신념, 태도가 수학 학습 결과에 영향을 미친다는 연구에 기반하여 학습자 감정이나 정의적 요소들을 학습자 자신의 학습 목표나 목적에 맞게 조절할 수 있는 요소를 강구하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 메타 정의에 관련된 연구들을 연결망 분석을 통하여 종합적으로 분석함으로써 메타 정의의 정의적 요소를 추출하고 이에 대한 개념을 분류, 그 의미를 탐색하였다. 그 결과 메타 정의의 정의적 요소로서 감정, 태도, 신념, 메타 정의의 개념 요소는 알아차리기(자각), 평가, 조절, 활용, 모니터링으로 도출할 수 있으며, 각 개념 요소에 대한 의미를 정의하였다. 본 연구 결과는 수학교육 분야에서 의미 있게 다뤄지는 정의적 영역과 관련하여 정의적 요소의 규명이나 특성에 대한 고찰을 넘어, 수학 학습에서 감정적 영역을 조절하고 이를 활용하기 위한 방안으로의 메타 정의의 개념 요소와 의미를 탐색하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.
