This study is to suggest a method of constructing Informatics textbook considering the cognitive development level of middle school learners. We developed 3 types of learning content models according to the educational objectives and activities of learners and then suggested the methods of constructing textbook. For this, we reviewed the related research results on the development characteristics and cognitive development theories of middle school students. Second, we drew instructional schemes from the pedagogic theories. Then, we suggested 3 models: 'Learning Centered on Concept'. 'Learning Centered on Investigation', and ' learning Centered on Actual Training'. We suggested construction schemes to each model and verified the adequacy using questionnaire to 30 teachers and received the positive responses from most teachers.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the sentences related with mathematical modeling in the third and fourth grade mathematics textbooks in accordance with changing of Korean mathematics curricula. In the preliminary analysis, the researchers used the criteria that Kim(2010) had analyzed Mathematics in Context[MiC], and analyzed South Korean textbooks from the perspective of mathematical modeling. The researchers revised them for the analysis criteria among South Korean elementary mathematics textbooks and employed them as the analysis framework of the present study. From the mathematical modeling perspective, the study reached the following conclusions in accordance with the change of textbooks from the 7th curriculum to the 2009 revised curriculum. The contexts of real-world situations presented in the textbooks are increased in all areas except Probability and Statistics areas, the methods of expression of mathematical model are diversified in all areas except Patterns area, and the communication types are also diversified and frequencies increased in all areas except Patterns area. Based on this research, several suggestions were made for the development of future textbooks.

This study aimed to compare and analyze the number and characteristics of modeling problems in chapters related to function contents in International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) mathematics textbooks and Korean high school mathematics textbooks. This study implies how the textbooks contributed to the improvement of students' modeling competency. In this study, three textbooks from IBDP and all nine textbooks from the Korean 2015 revised curriculum were selected. All the problems in textbooks were classified into real-world problems and non-real-world problems. Problems classified as real-world problems were once again divided into word problems and modeling problems according to the need to set up mathematical models. Modeling problems were further categorized into standard applications and good modeling problems depending on whether all the necessary information was included in the problem-solving process. Among the 12 textbooks, the textbook with the most modeling problems was the IBDP textbook, 'Math: Applications and Interpretation', which accounted for 50.41% of modeling problems to the total number of problems. This textbook provided learners with significantly higher modeling opportunities than other IBDP and Korean textbooks, which had 2% and 9% modeling problem ratios. In all 12 textbooks, all problems classified as modeling problems appeared as standard applications, and there were no proper modeling problems. Among the six sub-competencies of mathematical modeling, 'mathematical analysis' and 'interpretation and evaluation of results' sub-competencies appeared the most with very similar number of modeling problems, followed by the 'mathematization'. It is expected that the results of this study will help compare the number and ratio of modeling problems in each textbook and provide a better understanding of which modeling sub-competencies appear to what extent in the modeling problems.

최근 수학교육에서는 네덜란드의 수학교육이론인 현실적 수학교육(Realistic Mathematics Education: 이하 RME) 이론에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. RME 이론의 관점에서 학생들은 만들어져 있는 수학을 수용하는 사람이 아니라 스스로 모든 종류의 수학적 도구와 통찰을 개발하는 활동적 참여자로서 다루어져야 한다. 따라서 수학 학습은 수학화될 수 있는 풍부한 맥락으로부터 시작해야하며, 이러한 수학화를 실제(reality)에 둘 수 있도록 기여할 수 있는 교재로 시작해야 한다. 최근 발간된 'Mathematics In Context(이하 MIC)'는 RME 이론을 반영한 중등학교용 교과서로 맥락 문제가 그 중심이 되고 있으므로 RME 이론의 구체화된 실제를 볼 수 있는 예가 될 수 있다. 지금까지 Freudenthal의 교육철학을 소개하는 문헌 연구를 비롯하여 RME 이론을 기반으로 하는 교수 학습의 효과 분석에 관한 연구가 초등학교를 중심으로 이루어지고 있으나 중등학교 이상의 수준에서 수행된 RME 관련 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 RME 이론이 중등학교 이상에서 수행되는 예를 찾기 위해 MIC 대수 교과서 중 'Comparing Quantities(Kindt, Abels, Meyer, & Pligge, 1998)'를 중심으로 Treffers(1991)의 다섯 가지 교수 학습 원리(구성하기와 구체화하기, 여러 가지 수준과 모델, 반성과 특별한 과제, 사회적 맥락과 상호작용, 구조화와 연결성)가 어떻게 구현되고 있는지 살펴보고자 한다. RME의 수학 학습 이론은 학생들이 맥락과 모델을 사용하면서 다양한 수준의 수학화를 통해서 자신의 수학을 개발할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. MIC 교과서는 맥락 문제와 여러 가지 해결 전략을 제시함으로써 그러한 수학 수업을 할 수 있도록 안내하는 교재가 될 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data that can be used for the development of technology textbooks of Nigeria-Korea Model School by analyzing external and internal aspects of Illustration in Nigerian primary school technology textbooks, and 10 textbooks used in Nigeria were analyzed. Based on the results of the study, the conclusions are as follows. First, the form of the visual data should be diversified into a picture, a cartoon, a diagram, and a diagram from the photograph center, and provide various information closely related to the contents of the technology. Second, it is necessary to increase the size of illustration so as to induce learners to be motivated, and to enhance the effect of editing. Third, currently, partial enlargement data is rarely used, but visual material should be partially enlarged in order to express a detail part of product. Fourth, diversity of editing should be done by using circular or background omission rather than using only rectangle uniformly in visual material. Fifth, in terms of gender equality, it is necessary to deviate from male-centric visual materials and edit them with consideration for women. Sixth, in order to provide learner-centered textbooks, the role of visual materials should be extended to 'inducement of motivation', 'activity guidance', and 'activity result' in addition to 'providing data'. Finally, in terms of the function of visuals, the quality of textbooks should be upgraded by utilizing auxiliary and decorative functions in addition to essential functions.
