The purpose of this paper is to sequentialize Mathematics-learning contents, and to explore teaching-learning model for mathematics, with on the basis of the theory of cognitive development and the period of conservation formation for children.
The Specific topics are as follows
(1) Systemizing those theories of cognitive development which are related to Mathematics-learning for children.
(2) Organizing a sequence of Mathematics-learning, on the basis of experimental research for the period of conservation formation for children.
(3) Comparing the effects of 4 types of teaching-learning model, on the basis of inference activity and operational learning principle.
① Induction-operation(IO)
② Induction-explanation(IE)
③ Deduction-operation(DO)
④ Deduction-explanation(DE)
The results of the subjects are as follows:
(1) Cognitive development theory and Mathematics education.
① Cognitive development can be achieved by constant space and Mathematics knowledge is obtained by the interaction of experience and reason.
② The stages of congnitive development for children form a hierachical system, its function has a continuity and acts orderly. Therefore we need to apply cognitive development for children to teach mathematics systematically and orderly.
(2) Sequence of mathematical concepts.
① The learning effect of mathematical concepts occurs when this coincides with the period of conservation formation for children.
② Mathematics Curriculum of Elementary Schools in Korea matches with the experimental research about the period of Piaget's conservation formation.
(3) Exploration of a teaching-learning model for mathematics.
① Mathematics learning is to be centered on learning by experience such as observation, operation, experiment and actual measurement.
② Mathematical learning has better results in from inductional inference rather that deductional inference, and from operational inference rather than explanatory inference.
