This study focused on classroom dialogue for communicating spatial information which is supposed to be implemented through learning activities using building-blocks. Even though mathematics textbooks for $2^{nd}$ graders have activities which require abilities of explaining and understanding some spatial information, we know few about how mathematical communication between teacher and students or among students and which strategies are more effective. For this reason, two building-block lessons for $2^{nd}$ graders were observed. The characteristics of teachers' instruction and students' explanation were identified and the mathematical communication between teachers and students or among students was analyzed. As a result, mains factors of impeding students' explanation and understanding were induced and the types of their communication were classified. Based on these results, several teaching strategies for effective communication in buildingblock lessons were suggested.

The purpose of this study is to develop MICHS(Models of Interactive Cyber Home Study) for effective cyber home study(CHS) and a prototype system to support realtime and non-realtime interaction tools such as chatting with users, to study a method to connect MICHS with selective curriculum, and to verify the educational effect of the model. MICHS consists of two models. One model is an educational system model, and another model is a teaching-learning model. The major results of this study are summarized as follows. In the viewpoint of learning achievement, there is no significant difference in achievement between the experimental group(33 leaners) and the comparative group(33 leaners), but this fact can be construed as the possibility that CHS is an alternative system of school education. The interests on CHS of learners in the experimental group were increased twice. This result means that the system of CHS for active interaction needs various and important interaction tools, and the educational vision of CHS. In the viewpoint of system operation, CHS needs higher system requirements such as 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet. If an old system can not process streaming services in request, it should be upgraded to a new system.

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect and limitation of teacher librarians' self-reported appraisals and suggest it's activation plans about school library based instruction (SLBI). According to results of analyses, the SLBI begin with subject teachers' demand for learning materials and teacher librarians play their educational role in Information search & access and representation & synthesis of information during the instruction. Compared with previous studies, the limitations of SLBI we can see in this study are restricted role of teacher librarians, exclusive attitude and antipathy to classroom opening of subject teachers under the SLBI. The bars of promoting the SLBI are also the difficulty of collaborative working with several same subject teachers and subject classroom system. The ways of activating the SLBI suggested in their self-reported appraisals are building intimacy with subject teachers and participating actively curriculum council, peer-supervision and demonstration classes.

On the standards or elements of teaching evaluation, the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation(KICE) has carried out the following research such as : 1) development of the standards on teaching evaluation between 2004 and 2006, and 2) investigation on the elements of Pedagogical Content Knowledge including understanding of learners between 2007 and 2008. The purposes of development of mathematics teaching evaluation standards through those studies were to improve not only mathematics teachers' professionalism but also their own teaching methods or strategies. In this study, the standards were revised and modified by analyzing the results of those studies (namely, evaluation standards) focused on the knowledge of teaching contexts. For this purpose, application of instructional tools and materials, commercial manipulatives, environment of classroom including distribution and control of class group, atmosphere of classroom, management of teaching contexts including management of student were re-established based on the results of the search mentioned above. According to those evaluation domains, elements on teaching evaluation focused on the knowledge of teaching contexts were established.

Euler's formula provides the topological characteristics of geometrical objects including polyhedra, and so an important mathematical concept. Descriptions on Euler's formula had been in the textbooks according to the 3rd through 7th National Mathematics Curriculum. However, they are gone after that. In this study, we focus on Euler characteristic and Euler's formula as an educational material for educations for the gifted or after-school educations. We first look at the mathematical history and the applications of Euler's formula and national curriculums to search for its mathematical and educational meaning. We further make a suggestion for a learning environment which provides a better education relying on search activities, not just depending on memorization, illuminated from the education of Euler's formula.

The purpose of this study is to design a more satisfactory and efficient teaching strategy for the gifted by comparing teaching type and learning environment preferred by the gifted with that preferred by normal students. As a result, the following findings are obtained. First, while the normal class students show higher preference for clarification and organization, gifted students prefer for diversification and specialization. Second, with the respect to the gender-related forms of mathematics classroom environment, the overall female preference and the average score are higher, indicating significant difference in the area is only a psychological domain. Third, compared to the regular classroom, the gifted have significantly different preference for teaching method, classroom and teachers' attitude between in the gifted class and regular class.

Mathematical modeling is an important part of mathematics education since it can be used or created to find mathematical models to understand real life various situations. Most of mathematical modeling tasks taught and learned currently in secondary school mathematics classes need simple mathematical modelling with one or two variables and produce fixed solutions to the real life problems. But many real life problems involve various and complex variables which can be used to get more proper solutions. Constructing mathematical models to get more appropriate solutions from the real problems having various and complex variables is not easy. In this paper the researcher suggested a model to fit mathematical models to get more appropriate solutions and showed three examples to apply the model in solving real life problems which can be treated in the secondary school mathematics classrooms.
