부모님과 함께 하는 SAT를 위한 사고력 훈련
Common Core의 등장과 함께 SAT가 새롭게 변신을 했다. 그리고Common Core 를 주도했던David Coleman 이 SAT 를 주관하는College Board의 Chairman으로 영입되었다. 과연 새로운 SAT가 의미하는 것은 무엇일까? 그리고 어떤 것들이 왜 바뀌었을까?
인터넷과 컴퓨터가 발달하면서 우리는 넘쳐나는 정보시대에 산다고 얘기들을 한다. 그래서 이제는 많은지식과 단순한 정보를 알고 있는 것만으로는 부족하고 그것들을 다양하게 정리하고 깊이있게 분석하는 논리적 교육을 지향하고 있다. 그래서 이미 초등학교 2-3학년 교육과정에서부터 체계적으로 각 과목마다 다양하게 접근하고 있다.
학생들에게 유리한 변화
- 오답을 선택해도 벌점이 없다
- 5지에서 4지선다형으로 바뀌었다
- 단어가 고난도에서 좀더 쉬운단어로 바뀌는 대신 다양한 정의를 요구한다
- 문장에 맞는 단어 집어넣기 문제가 출제되지 않는다.
학생들에게 어려워진 변화
- 단순한 질문이 아닌 복잡한 유추를 요구한다
- 독해예문이 복잡한 구조와 어휘로 이뤄졌다.
- 수학의 기초능력을 더욱 요구한다
과연 Common Core의 등장과 SAT 의 변신은 우리에게 무엇을 의미하고 무엇을 요구하고 있는지 알아야 한다. 이제 학교 공부도, 사회적 성공도 그냥 학교만 잘 다닌다고 해결되는 세상이 아니다. 가정에서 어려서부터 Critical 한 사고력과 Creative 한 활동의 기초훈련이 이루어져야 한다는 결론이 나온다. 그렇다면 어려서부터 집에서할 수 있는 SAT를 위한 사고력 훈련은 어떤것이 있을까?
집에서 부모님과 할 수 있는 사고력 훈련은 다음과같은 질문으로 시작될 수 있을것 같다.
