Abstract
수학 교수 학습을 지원하기 위한 자원으로서의 수학 교과서는 우리나라 수업에서 특히 중요하게 활용된다. 그동안 수학 교과서 연구의 범위가 확장되고 그에 따른 연구가 많아지고 있지만, 정작 우리나라의 수학 교과서 연구의 전반적인 동향을 분석한 연구는 많지 않다. 본 연구는 국내 수학교육 학술지에 게재된 논문 중 수학 교과서와 관련된 418편의 논문을 대상으로 전반적인 교과서 연구의 동향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 교과서 분석 연구의 비중이 압도적으로 높았고, 다음으로 교과서 활용 연구, 교과서 개발 연구의 순서로 나타났다. 전체적으로 중고등학교급보다 초등학교급에서 교과서 연구가 많았다. 교과서 분석 연구의 경우는 특정한 수학 개념을 교과서에 어떻게 제시하였는지 분석하는 연구가 가장 많았고, 교과서 활용 연구의 경우는 교사와 학생을 대상으로 교과서의 적절성을 검토하거나 특정 코너나 활동에 대한 인식 및 사용실태를 설문 조사를 바탕으로 분석하는 경우가 많았다. 교과서 개발 연구의 경우는 스토리텔링과 전자교과서와 같은 새로운 교과서 개발 방향과 예시를 다루는 논문이 많았다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 토대로, 본 논문은 국내 수학교육 맥락과 국외 수학 교과서 연구의 동향에 비추어 교과서 연구에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
Mathematics textbooks as the main resources to support mathematical teaching and learning are used importantly in Korean lessons. Although the scope of mathematics textbook research has been expanded and the research has increased, few studies have analyzed the overall trends of mathematics textbook research in Korea. This study analyzes the overall trends of textbook research on 418 papers pertinent to mathematics textbooks published in domestic mathematics education journals. The results of this study showed that the proportion of textbook analysis research was the highest, followed by textbook use and textbook development research in order. There were more textbook studies at the elementary school level than at the middle or high school levels. Regarding textbook analysis studies, the most frequent topic was to analyze how specific mathematical concepts were presented in textbooks. Regarding textbook use studies, many studies asked both teachers and students to review the appropriateness of textbooks under development or analyzed the perception and use of specific activities of textbooks based on a survey. Regarding textbook development studies, the most popular topics included the directions and examples of new development, such as storytelling-based or electronic textbooks. This paper finally presented implications for textbook research in light of the domestic mathematics education context and the international mathematics textbook research trends.
