집단보상 및 집단구성 방법에 따른 협동학습이 초등 수학과 학업성취에 미치는 효과 = Effects of the Group Reward and Construction in Cooperative Learning on the Achievement of Math in Elementary School

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the methods of group reward and group construction in cooperative learning on the academic achievement of mathematics in elementary school. The subjects in this study were 48 second-grade elementary school students. They were assigned to one of the four experimental groups. The experimental instruments of used in this study were the prior scores of mathematics achievement test to verify group homogeneity, achievement test to identify the treatment effects. The dependent variable was the academic achievement scores on the immediate posttest. The experimental design of this study was 2×2 factorial design. Based on the scores obtained, ANOVA and other statistical analyses were performed by SPSS WIN 9.0. The main findings obtained from the results and discussion of this study were as follows: (1) There was a significant difference between the methods of group reward on the academic achievement of mathematics. Namely, Group competition reward group performed significantly better than group non-competition group on the achievement scores. (2) There was a significant difference between the methods of group construction on the academic achievement of mathematics. Namely, homogeneous group performed significantly better than heterogeneous group on the achievement scores. (3) There was no significant interaction effect between the methods of group reward and group construction on the achievement of mathematics.
