이 연구는 Bruner의 인지경로 이론의 특징을 분석하여 연구의 이론적 근거로 제시하고, 지식의 구조 를 존중한 인지경로 이론을 적용한 분수 학습 방법을 구성하여 효율적인 수학과 교수․학습에 활용하는데 있다. 연구 목적을 위하여 <4-가> 단계의 분수 학습 단원이 선정되었다. 연구 결과, 인지경로 이론을 적용한 분수 학습 방법은 분수 개념 및 원리에 대한 이해력, 분수 개념 및 원리에 대한 영상적 표상능력 에 있어서 긍정적인 학습 결과가 나타났다. 또한 실험 집단 아동들의 사전․ 사후 영상적 표상능력 검사 내용 분석에서 분수 개념 및 원리의 영상적 표상능력이 점차 향상되는 과정을 볼 수 있었다.
This study aims to examine a learning method to improve the understanding and capability of visual expression on fraction in elementary school fraction learning by stressing EIS theoretical perspective. On the assumption that students are likely to face difficulties in learning mathematics due to its method of learning itself rather than its principles, this study seeks to find a learning method that can encourage students to more voluntarily participate in learning mathematical concepts and its principles and provide them with opportunities to form intellectual construction. Fraction learning experiments emphasizing EIS theory showed that the experimental group was above than average in understanding and developing ability of iconic mode of representation. In conclusion, the fraction learning method emphasizing EIS theory was effective to help students improve understanding fraction concept and its principles and develop the ability of iconic mode of representation of concept of fraction. It is limited to generalize this learning method\'s effects, however, because only one class in the fourth grade was tested followed by short period of implementation of fraction learning method. Therefore, it is required that more various teaching method should continue to be developed to cover different aspects of fraction, and further researches be followed to examine effects for elementary school students at different grades.
