數學史를 利用한 學習指導資料 硏究- 中學校 數學敎育을 中心으로

Abstract

Throughout the history of mathematics, students have been trained in mathematical considerations and in the correct understanding and attitude towards math, thereby allowing them to apply appropriate mathematical tools to their study of the discipline. Therefore, in this thesis, I investigate whether introducing the history of mathematics in middle school curricula is beneficial in students' ability to properly apply mathematical principles. First, I discuss the necessity and the advantages of including the history of mathematics in math education. Second, I analyze the seventh editions of the fifteen middle school mathematics textbooks in order to determine the inclusion and quality of inclusion of the history of mathematics. Third, through a careful analysis of fifteen textbooks, I identified and focused on important figures in mathematics, researching a variety of materials related to these important mathematicians. Through the findings of this research, it is possible to increase students' motivation in mathematics. In order to do so, it is recommended that schools introduce the history of mathematics in their classes and that there is continued, thoughtful research and the continued commitment of teachers to student education.
