Abstract

This study examined the level-differentiated mathematic classes to offer basic data for effective college mathematics curriculum. Using the Kolb Learning Style, this study surveyed 213 college engineering students in 6 level-differentiated classes in one university and analyzed the significant consequence. The results showed that the ranking of the Learning Style in a superior mathematic class is Diverger, Accommodator, Assimilator, and Converger. Second, the ranking of the Learning Style in the inferior mathematics class was Accommodator, Diverger, Assimilator, and Converger. Third, for effective class of superior mathematics class, professors need to give sufficient time to analyze mathematics problems by the students themselves. Fourth, for an effective class of inferior mathematic class, professors need to use experimental and diverse teaching method to enhance the students' concentration and learning achievement. Based on this study, professors should develop teaching methods that fit the students' Learning Style and the properties of college mathematics curriculum.

본 연구는 수준별 대학수학교과목을 수강하는 학생들의 학습유형을 분석하여 그 상관관계를 이용하여 보다 효율적인 대학수학 수업이 이루어지기 위한 기초자료를 얻고자한다. 이를 위하여 Kolb 학습유형 분석을 이용하여 일 개 대학교 공과대학의 수준별로 진행되는 대학수학교과목 수업 상하 각 3반 213명을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였고 유의미한 결과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 수준별 수업 중 상반의 학습유형은 확산자, 적용자, 동화자, 수렴자 순이었다. 둘째, 수준별 수업 중 하반의 학습유형은 적용자, 확산자, 동화자, 수렴자 순이었다. 셋째, 상반 학생들의 효율적인 수업을 위해서 교수자는 학생 스스로 수학적 문제를 분석해 볼 수 있는 충분한 시간을 제공해야 한다. 넷째, 하반의 효율적인 수업을 위해서 교수자는 실험적이고 다양한 교수 방법을 이용하여 학생들의 집중력과 학업성취 욕구를 높여야 한다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 대학수학 수업에서 각각 학생들의 학습유형에 적합하고 대학수학 교육과정의 성격에 부합하는 교수법의 개발이 필요함을 제언하였다.
