This study analyzed Korean studies up to August 2023 to suggest the direction of future research on basic academic abilities in mathematics. For this purpose, frequency analysis and LDA-based topic modeling were conducted on the Korean abstracts of 197 domestic studies. The results showed that, first, 'academic achievement', 'impact', 'effect', and 'factors' were all ranked at the top of the TFs and TF-IDFs. Second, as a result of LDA-based topic modeling, five topics were identified: causes of basic academic abilities deficiency, learning status of math underachievers, teacher expertise in teaching math underachievers, supporting programs for math underachievers, and results of National Assessment of Educational Achievement. As a direction for future research, this study suggests focusing on the growth of math underachievers, systematizing the programs provided to students who need learning support in mathematics, and developing teacher expertise in teaching math underachievers.

Currently science and technology are changing so fast and college mathematics becomes more and more important. But the downturn of freshmen's scholastic performance has been intensified and this phenomenon leads to serious problems in managing college curriculums. During the recent years at a middle level engineering college, many freshmen had a lot of difficulties in their mathematics courses. In consequence, many of them had hard time to survive at their major curriculums. In this point of view, we analyse the situation of mathematical scholastic ability among engineering majored freshmen through the research on the actual state of mathematical background, mathematical scholastic ability test, college mathematics scores, and scholastic aptitude test scores. We study the relation between the mathematics score of scholastic aptitude test for the college entrance and mathematical scholastic ability of freshmen of a middle level engineering college. From this study we conclude that the essential reasons for the above situations are the curriculum of middle school mathematics and the system of scholastic aptitude test and the entrance examination of university. In order for improving mathematical accomplishment. we give suggestions such as a learning ability improvement program in mathematics.

본 연구는 수학교육에서 강조되고 있는 수학적 힘의 구성 요소 중의 하나인 수학적 추론 능력에 대한 교사들의 구체적인 이해를 돕고, 문제 해결 과정에서 학생들의 추론 능력을 분석하고 평가하는 데 도움을 주기 위해 문헌 연구 및 학생반응 분석결과에 기초하여 귀납적, 유비적, 연역적 추론능력에 대한 평가기준을 개발하였다. 또한, 개발된 평가기준을 구체적인 문제에 적용하였으며 이를 기초로 문제점을 수정 ${\cdot}$ 보완한 후, 전문가의 타당성 검증과 동일한 학생반응에 대한 채점결과의 일치도를 알아봄으로써 신뢰도 검증을 실시하였다.

In this paper, we try to find improved solutions for problems with general mathematics education courses. We suggest effective management strategies and teaching-learning methods by level-based classes with utilizing students survey and scholastic level assessment, and management of Mathematics Cafe and its homepage, and also setting example classes for assignments on the Webwork system and evaluating the class.

Although it is not necessary to have much mathematical knowledge in Major Courses of Animal Resources curriculums in agricultural high school, the function of mathematics class has a much effect on Major Courses. Therefore, we extracted the mathematics contents included in Major Courses of Animal Resources curriculums in agricultural high school, and also evaluated students' understanding according to the description method in textbooks of Major Courses. Furthermore, we analyzed students' preference about the description method in textbooks related to the Major Courses. As a result, it turns out that the level of mathematics contents of Animal Resources major curriculums does not break bounds of middle school level. Furthermore, many students are not able to solve the middle school level of problems. It is also shown that the most preferred description method in textbooks of Animal Resources major curriculums is the sentence-equation mixed type. In this study, we propose to reconstruct the mathematics contents with basic knowledge needed to complete the Major Courses in order that students can complete them more easily, and furthermore, to choose the description method in textbooks of Major Courses as sentence-equation mixed type and detailed explanation about terms should be included into the bargain.

In vocational high schools, mathematics classes aims to improve students' mathematics-applying ability as the employ ability. However, these classes are based on the national curriculum of mathematics likewise general high schools. In this study, we develop and present the materials of teaching and learning mathematics for teachers and students in vocational high schools. We analyze the Test for Enhanced Employ Ability and Upgraded Proficiency (TEENUP) and 2015 revised national curriculum of mathematics, and consider how teachers can use this curriculum to enhance employ ability. As a result, materials of teaching and learning mathematics should be developed in terms of use of curriculum based on teachers' didactical understanding. Moreover, we present the developed materials as examples reflecting on the framework of TEENUP and connecting the 2015 revised national curriculum of mathematics. Based on these results, we draw some recommendations for applying and developing material of teaching and learning mathematics.

20세기 수리철학은 전기와 후기로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 수학의 기초에 대한 논의가 활발하던 시기인 20세기 초로부터 G$\ddot{o}$del의 불완전성 정리가 발표된 30여년간을 전기로 하고, 후기를 실재론과 반실재론읜 대립과 새로운 수리철학이 대두된 최근 30여년간의 기간이라 한다면, 본고는 이미 잘 알려진 전기의 수학기초론 보다는 후기의 달라진 수리철학을 수학의 '새로운 패러다임' 으로 규정하고 그 내용과 성격을 살펴본다.

결측치를 가진 회귀모형의 모수 추정법을 이용하여 목표지향형 평가 모델에서 기초고사(X)와 신고사(I)(Y), 신고사(II)(Z)등 두 개 이상의 고사지로 이루어진 고사집에서 기초고사에는 결측치가 없고 신고사(I), 신고사(II)등에는 결측치가 있는 경우 모수의 최우추정량 계산법을 논하고 E.M. 알고리즘과 평가치는 희귀방적식화에 의하여 우리나라 중등학교 학생의 수학학습능력과 수학적 사고력의 크기를 변별하며 학생들의 진능력이 반영된 평가모델과 최종 성적을 평가 할 수 있는 계산법을 제시하였다.
