기초수학 학습부진 공대생들의 자기점검 정도에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to make an analysis in terms of drawing the graphs of the fundamental functions and self-checking degree on 283 engineering college students who were under-achieving in mathematics.

Some students were not able to properly draw the graphs of the fundamental functions. And some students showed a high self-checking degree even though they couldn’t draw the graphs of the fundamental functions correctly. While other students who were able to draw the graphs correctly scored low on their self-checking degree.

The result of this study shows the need of the educator to provide opportunities to practice analyzing and interpreting the information in the graphs of the fundamental functions to those who have difficulties to understanding basic mathematics. Educators also need to teach students methods to monitor and evaluate themselves to modify and remedy their errors. This will in turn help students understand the learning procedure and help the progress of flexible thinking.
