The aims of this study are to identify Dewey's theory on mathematics education and to clarify its influence on the modern theories of mathematics education. For this purpose, we have examined Dewey's theory of knowledge named as pragmatism or instrumentalism, and studied the Dewey's theory of education in which he maintained education is the reconstruction of experiences. And then, we have examined Dewey's theory on mathematics education, such as theory of mathematics, purpose of mathematics education, contents of mathematics education, and methods of mathematics education respectively. After that, we have analyzed how his theory on mathematics education is connected with the diverse theories of modern mathematics education, such as Piaget's operational constructivism, Freudenthal's theory of realistic mathematics education, Polya's theory on mathematical problem-solving, and social constructivism. Through this study, we might say that Dewey's theory on mathematics education is a prototype of modern theories of mathematics education and a comprehensive paradigm which is very suggestive to the phenomena of mathematics education.

Piaget는 인류가 지식을 구성해 온 방식과 유사한 방식으로 어린이들도 자신들이 학습해야 할 지식을 학습할 수 있다고 가정한다. Kamii는 이 가정을 확인하고자 하는 열망으로 실험교수법을 이용한 수학수업을 실시하였다. 본 고에서는 Kamii가 얻은 결과 중 곱셈에 대한 결과를 발생론적 인식론 입장에서 논의가 이루어 질 것이다. 이 논의는 어린이들이 구성해 가는 지식이 선대인들이 사용하던 지식과 유사하다는 점과 어린이들이 구성해 가는 지식이 완성된 지식의 형태를 갖출 수 있다는 점을 중심으로 이루어진다. 또한, 그 결과로부터 전통적인 수학 교수법에 변화가 있어야 함을 발생론적 인식론을 적용한 수학 수업의 특징과 비교하면서 시사점을 논의하고자 한다.

The traditional teaching-learning in mathematics, which pursue only one correct answer, should be reexamined to cope with an age of uncertainty. In this research, Perry's epistemological development scheme was noticed as a theoretical approach to diagnose problems of dualistic mathematics lessons and to search solutions of the problems. And Design-Based Research method was adopted, We developed the epistemological development scheme through considering Perry's theory and related studies, scaffoldings and teaching-learning to enhance students' epistemological positions in mathematics. Based on these discussions we designed teaching experiment about operations with negative numbers, and analyzed its didactic implications.

Korean students have shown high achievements on the cognitive domain of mathematics in a range of international assessment tests. On the affective domain, however, significantly low achievements have been reported. Among the factors in the affective domain, this article discusses on the value of mathematics in the perspective of Michael Polanyi's philosophy, which centers personal knowledge and tacit knowing. Polanyi emphasizes abstractness and generalization in mathematics accompanied by intellectual beauty and passion. In his perspective, therefore, utilitarian aspects and usefulness of mathematics imparted through linguistic representations have limits in motivating students to learn mathematics. Students must be motivated from recognition of the value of mathematics formed through participating authentic mathematical problem solving activity with immersion, tension, confusion, passion, joy and the like.

본 논문의 목적은 삼각함수의 학습에 테크놀로지가 기여할 수 있는 방법적인 측면과 인지적인 효과를 명시하는 것이다. 테크놀로지가 삼각함수의 학습에 기여할 수 있는 네 가지 방법론적인 면을 '수학과 학생들의 실제 경험의 연결', '수학적 대상과 수학적 관계의 구체화', '수학의 다양한 표현 체계의 연결', '사고력 중심의 수학교육 추구'의 관점에서 논한다. 이 네 가지 방법론적인 측면 중 '수학적 대상과 수학적관계의 구체화'와 '수학의 다양한 표현 체계의 연결'을 중심으로 삼각함수의 학습법을 예시하면서 이 두 가지 방법이 어떻게 인지적으로 기여하는지를 보여준다.

In this paper we analyze the Russian national curriculum for training of mathematics teachers at universities published by Russian Ministry of Education. From the document we are able to know the structure of the curriculum, compulsory subjects, and minimum mathematical contents for training mathematics teachers at universities.

Lakatos's mathematical philosophy implies that the mathematical knowledge is quasi-empirical and provides the context where mathematics grows and develops. So, it is educationally significant. But, it is not easy to apply Lakatos's methodology to teaching elementary mathematics, because Lakatos's logic of the mathematical discovery is based on the proofs and refutations but elementary mathematics does not contain any proof. This study is to develop the schemes that apply Lakatos's methodology to teaching elementary mathematics and to provide the teaching examples. I devised the teaching process and the curriculum development method. And I developed the teaching examples.

This study is to review phenomenology as a legitimate research methodology in mathematics education. Phenomenology is considered a perspective which will be able to provide varieties of viewpoints for mathematics education. Phenomenology is a research about phenomena and experience, and phenomenological research is to reveal the meanings from persons who experience something that researcher is interested in. Through such review, this study is to identify if phenomenology has potential possibility to open as a qualitative research methodology in mathematics education. In order to doing this, this study has reviewed the trend of qualitative research methods in mathematics education, major concepts of phenomenology, phenomenological attitudes for phenomenological research, and the methods and procedures for phenomenological research. The major conclusions are as the followings: the focus of lived-experience in mathematics education, the importance of recognizing life world in mathematics education, and the essence of general phenomena and the meanings of experience general in mathematics education.

최근 초등수학교육에서 구성주의는 현대사회가 요구하는 수학적 사고력 신장을 위한 하나의 대안으로 수학교육의 이론적 연구와 실제적 개혁을 이끌어 오고 있다. 그러나, 구성주의적 인식론은 수학교육에서 그 자체가 수학교수에 대한 하나의 대안으로 받아들여져서, 교수활동에 대한 실제적인 모색은 활발하지 못했다.(중략)
