Abstract

Research on lexicon and language provides insights into the interests, values and practices of a community where individuals use the language. The International Classroom Lexicon Project, in which ten countries participated, identified own country's mathematics teaching and learning lexicons by investigating mathematics classroom instruction from teachers' perspectives in a speaking-oriented community. This study, as an extension of the International Classroom Lexicon Project research, investigated pedagogical lexicons used in 「Mathematics and Education」 journals specialized for Korean professional mathematics teachers published by the Korean Society of Teachers of Mathematics. Using the text mining approach, we also traced how these pedegogical lexicons have changed quantitatively over the past 10 years with a diachronic perspective. As a results, several novel terms were found in the writing-oriented community, which were not identified in the speaking-oriented community. In addition, we could discover some pedagogical lexicons have increased statistically significantly and some lexicons appeared(increased) rapidly across years. This implies the teacher community's values and zeitgeist by reflecting these changes in the sociocultural, incidental and social changing (i.e., periodical change) contexts. This study has value as a first step in understanding zeitgeist for mathematics education in Korean mathematics teacher community according to changes of times over the past 10 years. Also, this study contributes to the methodological insights: the text mining technique provides a methodological contribution to researching changes in interests, values and zeitgeist according to these changes in the times.

어휘와 언어에 대한 연구는 이를 사용하는 개인들이 포함된 공동체의 관심과 가치, 실천 관행에 대한 이해도를 높일 수 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 10개국이 참여한 국제 교실수업 어휘 프로젝트(The International Classroom Lexicon Project)는 자국의 수학 교실 수업과 관련하여, 교사가 바라보고 명명하는 구어적 입장에서 수학 교실수업 어휘 연구를 진행하여 어휘를 확인하고 정리하였다. 본 연구는 이 국제 교실수업 어휘 프로젝트 연구의 확장으로, 전국수학교사모임에서 발행하는 수학교사 전문 잡지인 「수학과 교육」에 사용된 교수학적 어휘를 텍스트 마이닝 기법을 이용하여 조사하고, 통시적 관점에서 최근 10년간 시간의 흐름에 따라 이러한 교수학적 어휘가 양적으로 어떻게 변화하였는지를 관찰하였다. 연구 결과, 선행연구에서 발견되지 않은 새로운 교수학적 어휘를 발견할 수 있었다. 또한, 이러한 교수학적 어휘 중 시간의 흐름에 따라 출현 빈도가 유의하게 증가하는 어휘와 단기간에 갑자기 출현(급증)하는 어휘를 발견할 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 수학교사를 위한, 그리고 수학교사에 의한 전문 잡지를 중심으로 이루어진 문어적 공동체 수학교사의 관심의 변화를 살펴볼 수 있었고, 나아가 이러한 관심의 변화를 사회문화적·사건적·시대적 맥락에 비추어 봄으로써 이들의 가치와 시대적 정신의 변화를 조심스럽게 해석할 수 있었다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구는 지난 10년간 시대의 변화에 따른 한국의 수학교사 공동체에서의 수학교육에 대한 관심과 가치, 시대적 정신을 이해하는 첫 걸음으로서 가치를 지니고 있다. 또한, 텍스트 마이닝 기법이 이러한 시대변화에 따른 관심과 가치, 시대적 정신의 변화에 대한 연구를 수행할 수 있는 방법론적인 기여를 제공한다.
