초록

본 연구는 유리수 지수 정의에 대한 교사의 이해 특징을 분석하여 교사 교육에의 시사점을 구체화하고, 지수의 확장을 지도하는 수업에서 정의의 본질 및 그 이면의 사고를 다루기 위해 고려할 필요가 있는 교수학적 쟁점을 밝히는 데목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 지필검사 도구를 개발하여 현직 고등학교 교사 50명의 답변을 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로유리수 지수 정의에 대한 교사의 이해 특징이 교사 교육에 주는 시사점 및 교수학적 쟁점을 기술하였다. 또한 이러한시사점 및 교수학적 쟁점을 국내 교과서 전개 방식에 비추어 해석하여 수업을 통해 지수의 확장과 관련된 정의의 본질을 의미있게 다루기 위해 교사 및 교과서가 좀 더 주목할 필요가 있는 측면을 제언하였다.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to deduce implications of the growth of mathematics teachers’ specialty for effective instruction about the formulae of exponentiation with rational exponents by analyzing teachers' understanding of the definition of rational exponent. In order to accomplish the aim, this study ascertained the nature of the definition of rational exponent through examining previous literature and established specific research questions with reference to the results of the examination. A questionnaire regarding the nature of the definition was developed in order to solve the questions and was taken to 50 in-service high school teachers. By analysing the data from the written responses by the teachers, this study delineated four characteristics of the teachers’ understanding with regard to the definition of rational exponent. Firstly, the teachers did not explicitly use the condition of the bases with rational exponents while proving f`(x)=rx^{r-1}. Secondly, few teachers explained the reason why the bases with rational exponents must be positive. Thirdly, there were some teachers who misunderstood the formulae of exponentiation with rational exponents. Lastly, the majority of teachers thought that (-8)^{1over 3} equals to -2. Additionally, several issues were discussed related to teacher education for enhancing teachers’ knowledge about the definition, features of effective instruction on the formulae of exponentiation and improvement points to explanation methods about the definition and formulae on the current high school textbooks.
