대학수학 기초학력 부진학생들의 수학 태도와 수학 성취도에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study investigates the change of achievement and attitudes toward mathematics for 138 college freshmen who are required in basic academic class. The main results are summarized as follows: First, the number of students for 67(48.6%) and 71(51.4%) are positive and negative attitudes toward mathematics respectively. Second, in terms of achievement there is no statistically significant changes in both positive and negative attitude groups. Finally, we additionally analyze 138 samples based on the classified group into upper, middle, and lower levels respectively. The results reveal that students who are below upper middle level with positive attitudes toward mathematics show significantly higher achievement in mathematics than students with negative attitudes, while there is no significant difference in the achievement both positive and negative attitudes groups. The results of this study are based on similar teaching method. In future research, it is necessary to investigate teaching methods for students who are lack in basic academic background, based on the analysis of changes in the affective and cognitive domains by applying various teaching and learning methods.
