본 연구는 중등학교 수학교사의 평가에 대한 인식을 조사하고 비교하기 위하여 진행되었다. 이를 위해 인천지역에 근무하는 중학교 188명, 고등학교 125명의 수학교사로부터 평가에 관한 6가지 영역과 과정 중심 평가에 대한 일반적인 인식에 대하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 자료는 중요도-수행도 분석기법(IPA)을 사용하여 학교급별, 경력별, 학교 규모별로 비교 분석하였다. 주요 연구 결과로 대부분의 영역에서 중학교 수학교사들이 고등학교에 비해 중요도와 수행도 모두 높게 나타났다. 경력별로는 경력이 높을수록 높은 중요도-높은 수행도, 낮은 중요도-낮은 수행도가 많이 나타나고. 학교규모가 클수록 낮은 중요도-높은 수행도에 다양한 의견이 나타났다.

This study aimed to investigate and compare perceptions of middle and high school mathematics teachers on assessment. For the purpose, we developed and used a survey consisting of two parts(importance/performance on assessment and general opinion on process-based assessment). We gathered data from 188 middle school and 125 high school mathematics teachers in Incheon area. An Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA) method was used for data analysis. As results, middle school mathematics teachers showed higher perception on both importance and performance in almost all area on assessment than high school teachers. In addition, research results based on teaching experience indicated that mathematics teachers having more teaching experience seemed to perceive high importance-high performance and low importance-low performance tasks more than mathematics teachers having less experience. In particular, middle school teachers recognized many low importance-high performance tasks according to their teaching experience. The IPA gave us different results depending on the school size. The larger the school, the more diverse opinions appeared tasks in low importance-high performance. From the general opinion on process-based assessment, the middle school mathematics teachers also seemed to have more positive perspectives and to be more active in assessment than high school mathematics teachers. Finally, we discuss implications for future policy formulation and implementation on process-based assessment.
