This paper addresses mathematics content knowledge required for teaching in secondary school. Three components of mathematical knowledge are needed for teaching: (i) knowing school mathematics, (ii) knowing process of school mathematics, (iii) making connections between school mathematics and advanced mathematics. We investigated mathematics content knowledge of secondary teachers. We found that secondary mathematics teachers have a lack of understanding in solving realistic problem, reasoning and proof, and making connections between school mathematics and advanced mathematics.

수학 교사의 지식은 교과내용 지식, 일반 교육학 지식, 교육학 내용 지식, 교육과정 지식, 학습자에 대한 지식, 교육적 내용에 관한 지식, 수학 교육 목표, 목적, 가치에 대한 지식으로 분류될 수 있다. 지금까지 이러한 수학 교사에 대한 지식 종류에 대한 학문적 연구는 뚜렷하게 체계적으로 연구되어지지 못하고 주로 저학년 학생 및 학습자 위주로 산발적인 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 수학교사가 지녀야할 지식은 수학 학습자인 학생들을 어떻게 효과적으로 가르치느냐에 가장 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것이므로 이에 따른 구체적인 조사 연구가 필요할 뿐만 아니라 교사교육 프로그램에 반영되어 효과적으로 능력있는 교사를 양성할 수 있도록 하여야겠다.

This study was to investigate novice teachers' Specialized Content Knowledge for Teaching in High School Calculus Lessons. The lessons of two novice teachers in Kyunggi Do were observed from July, 2011 to Feb. 2012. All observed lessons were audeotaped and transcribed into word files. Their calculus lessons were analyzed into three kinds of knowledge consisting of SCKT. Their SCKT just copied the contents of the textbook and other additional SCKT were not found for teaching. Even though students asked a question that they did not understand, the teacher just repeated the previous contents that already he used. But this study included possible contents of SCKT within the areas these teachers covered so that teachers in school may use for teaching of Calculus. The novice teacher do not have sufficient experience, the program of the college of education and the contents of the teacher certificate-examination should include multi-dimensional approaches in SCKT to pre-service teachers in order to raise better specialized teachers in mathematics.

This study aimed to investigate how two eighth-grade mathematics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge is manifested in their classroom instruction. A case study was conducted for the study. The results revealed similarities and differences in the teachers' knowledge manifested in their mathematics classrooms and that the two teachers had slightly different structures of pedagogical content knowledge. One teacher is more dependent on his knowledge of mathematics and knowledge of students' understanding and the other teacher on her knowledge of instructional process and, to a lesser extent, knowledge of mathematics.

교육의 질은 교사의 질에 의하여 크게 영향을 받는다고 볼 때, 수학교육의 질적 개선을 성공적으로 이끌기 위해서는 전문가로써의 자질을 갖춘 유능한 교사의 역할이 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다. 일반적으로 교사들이 갖추어야 할 지식을 크게 3가지로 나눈다면 교과의 내용에 관한 지식, 교수 방법에 관한 지식, 학생에 관한 지식으로 나누고 있다. 본고에서는 초등학교 수학 학습지도와 관련된 교과 교육학 및 교과 내용학에 관한 지식과 교사의 전문성을 개발할 수 있는 방안에 대해 개괄적으로 살펴본다.

The purpose of the study investigate mathematics content knowledge(MCK) of prospective teachers in differential area. 70 prospective teachers were asked to perform six questions based on Cho's MCK (2010, 2011). The results show that depending on whether they experience any teacher education program, the level of prospective teachers' mathematics content knowledge may vary. In particular, prospective teachers struggled with an unfamiliar problem situations. We also found that prospective mathematics teachers have some difficulty in solving problem about the use of mean value theorem and derivative.

학교 수학의 궁극적인 목표는 “수학적 능력과 태도를 육성하는데 있다.” 이러한 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 수학의 기본적인 지식과 기능을 습득하는 일과 수학적으로 사고하는 능력을 기르는 일이 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다. 수학적 사고는 학교수학에서 지도되는 내용 그 자체에 관련된 것이 아니라 이들 수학을 수학내용을 이해하고 지식으로 획득하는 과정에서 행하여지는 수학적인 활동과 관련이 있다고 하겠다. 본고에서는 수학적인 활동의 방법적인 측면에서 귀납 추론, 연역 추론, 유비 추론에 대해서 개괄적으로 알아보고, 귀납 추론의 필요성 및 특성과 구체적인 적용 사례에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

PCK(pedagogical content knowledge) has been frequently discussed in the field of subject matter education as well as education in general. Considering the fact that PCK characterizes teacher professionalism, and the distinction of mathematics education from neighboring disciplines, PCK is one of the core concepts in the discourse of mathematics education. This study focused on KCS(knowledge of content and students) among the areas of PCK. The purpose of this study to investigate the KCS of pre-service teachers attending a private university located in Seoul. An in-depth interview with 30 pre-service teachers was conducted in a semi-structured manner, using four questions dealing with common student errors, students' understanding of content, and student developmental sequences. The pre-service teachers gave mathematical answers while in others they gave priority to pedagogical considerations. The implication drawn from the interview data is that the teacher training program should fully reflect the complexity of mathematical concepts which appeared in school mathematics over several grade levels and content areas.

Recent reform movement in mathematics education has focused not only on the curriculum development but also on teachers' learning or professional development. Whereas various theoretical paradigms call for different programs of professional development for teachers, one of the common emphases is on the pedagogical content knowledge [PCK] which encompasses contents and methods to teach. Against this background, this study developed comprehensive instructional materials for the purpose of fostering PCK in mathematics for elementary school teachers with 17 essential learning themes such as fraction, plane geometry, and area. Each loaming theme was first summarized on the basis of literature reviews and surveys in terms of knowledge in mathematics contents, knowledge in teaching methods, and knowledge in students' mathematical understanding and learning. Each theme was then analyzed in detail on how it was represented in the national curriculum and its concomitant textbooks along with workbooks. Finally, this report included a reconstruction of one unit in textbooks per each learning theme, followed by teaching notes and suggestions from classroom implementation. This was intended for teachers to apply what they might loam from this material to their actual mathematics instruction. Given the page limit, this paper dealt only with the learning theme of ratio.

In this research, I explored how to apply the history of mathematics in teacher education and investigated the applicability of Chosun Sanhak (mathematics of Chosun Dynasty) as the program that enriched the mathematical knowledge for teaching of prospective elementary school teachers. This program included not only mathematical knowledge but also socio-cultural knowledge and connection knowledge. Prospective teachers participated in various mathematical activities such as explaining, reasoning and problem solving in this program. The effects of this program are as follows. Prospective teachers learned the subject matter knowledge(SMK) which was helpful in teaching basic concepts and skills of elementary mathematics. Next, this program produced the pedagogical content knowledge(PCK) to prospective teachers by giving ideas how to teach.
