이 글에서는 처음으로 교육학의 과학적 성격을 분명히 하고 교육학을 하나의 체계적인 학문으로 정립시키려고 노력하였던 Herbart의 수학교육의 의미를 이론적인 측면에서 고찰하고자 하였다. 마음의 중층구조 이론에 근거한 교과이론에 비추어 Herbart의「Pestalozzi’s Idea of an ABC of Sense-Perception Investigated and Scientifically Carried out as a Cycle of Preliminary Exercise in the Application of Forms」를 중심으로 Herbart의 수학교육에 대한 의미를 고찰하였다.
This article discusses and reviews the mathematics education of Herbart who had clarified the nature of the scientific education and established the systematic study of pedagogy for the first time. We are mainly investigated the '‘Pestalozzi’s Idea of an ABC of Sense-Perception Investigated and Scientifically Carried out as a Cycle of Preliminary Exercise in the Application of Forms’ that proposed intuitive geometric education that embodied his theory on education. Based on this and the theory of ‘two fold structure of mind’, We discusses the educational implications-the purpose and methods of mathematics education and so on.
