초록

이 연구의 목적은 초등학교 2학년과 3학년 학생들을 대상으로 패턴에 대한 이해 실태를 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 10개 학교에서 학년별 12학급을 선정하여 2학년 216명과 3학년 223명을 대상으로 46개 문항으로 구성된 검사지를 활용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 2, 3학년 학생들의 패턴에 대한 이해는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않는 경우가 대부분이었지만, 예외적으로 패턴의 구조를 파악하기 문항 중 8개의 항에서는 2학년, 2개의 문항에서는 3학년 학생들의 정답률이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 2, 3학년 학생들이 전반적으로 어려움을 보인 문항의 내용은 하나의 패턴에서 다양한 구성 요소를 탐색하기, 패턴 간 구조를 비교하기, 열린 패턴의 특정한 항을 추측하기였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 2, 3학년 학생들의 패턴에 대한 이해 실태와 추가적인 지도 방안에 대해 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the overall understanding of patterns by second- and third-grade elementary school students. For this purpose, 12 classes per grade were selected from 10 schools, and a 46-item test was administered to 216 second graders and 223 third graders. The results of the study showed that in most cases, there was no statistically significant difference in the understanding of patterns between second- and third-graders. The exception occurred regarding the 10 items of identifying the structure of a pattern: Second-graders did better than third-graders regarding 8 items, whereas vice versa regarding 2 items. The items that both second- and third-graders struggled with included finding multiple components of a given pattern, comparing the structures between patterns, and guessing a particular term in an open pattern. Based on these findings, this paper discusses second- and third-graders' understanding of patterns and suggestions for further instruction.
