This study provides a concrete example of the development of the task in collaboration with the in-service teacher and the pre-service teacher. In the process, the roles of pre-service teachers and in-service teachers were analyzed and the possibility of cooperation was grasped. As a result, pre-service teachers and field teachers considered the level and interest of the students and considered mathematical contents in the process of developing the tasks. Each subject did not directly consider the interaction of the students and contents, but they could confirm the improvement of the tasks as their roles affected each other.

It seems that it is critical to comprehend mathematics as a tool subject in order to understand a number of calculations in the professional subjects in the vocational high schools. This study is designed to determine "how much mathematics is connected to specialized subjects in terms of mathematical content at vocational high schools". To investigate the research questions, this study examined the connections between the mathematical topics included in professional subjects and those of mathematics subjects in the vocational high school. In the end, this study suggest that is should be necessary to make new mathematics textbook which reflects the reality and needs of the present vocational high school students.

Acknowledging mathematics education as a research field and its relation to different domains such as mathematics, educational sciences, psychology, sociology, and history, two paradigmatic issues of theoretical research and classroom practice are focused on to synthesize the different domains in mathematics education. Six sub-categories in the field of mathematics education are proposed to have a better understanding of their role and interdependence.

In Korea where there is the national curriculum and teachers depend highly on textbooks, the school mathematics is based on curriculum and textbooks. Especially considering responsibility that textbooks should reflect the curriculum properly, it is necessary to analyze the connection of mathematics curriculum and textbooks in order to review and improve the quality of our mathematics education. This research analyzes the connection of curriculum and textbooks for 5~6 grades and aims to have some implications for revision of the textbooks when application of elementary mathematics textbooks based on the 2009 revised national curriculum is completed to all grades. Following the preceding research for 1~2 and 3~4 grades, this research sets 5~6 grades as a subject of analysis and has four contents of analysis; analysis of textbooks based on restructured achievement criteria, analysis of connections between unit objectives of textbooks and the reconstructed achievement criteria, analysis of textbooks related to mathematical terms and symbols, and analysis of textbooks related to mathematical process. The result of analysis has some implications to develop textbooks based on the 2015 revised national curriculum.

This study is intended to examine 36 in-service secondary school mathematics teachers' conceptions of proof in the context of mathematics and mathematics education. The results suggest that almost teachers recognize the role as justification well but have the insufficient conceptions about another various roles of proof in mathematics. The results further suggest that many of teachers have vague concept-images in relation with the requirement of proof and recognize the insufficiency about the actual teaching of proof. Based on the results, implications for revision of mathematics curriculum and mathematics teacher education are discussed.

In this paper, we introduce new functional definitions for school geometry based on DGS (dynamic geometry system) teaching-learning environment. For the vertices forming a geometric figure, we first consider the relationship between the independent vertices and dependent vertices, and using this relationship and educational considerations in DGS, we introduce functional definitions for the geometric figures in terms of its independent vertices. For this purpose, we design a new DGS called JavaMAL MicroWorld. Based on the needs of new definitions in DGS environment for the student's construction activities in learning geometry, we also design a new DGS based geometry curriculum in which the definitions of the school geometry are newly defined and reconnected in a new way. Using these funct onal definitions, we have taught the new geometry contents emphasizing the sequential expressions for the student's geometric activities.

방과후 수학수업이나 현행 수학능력시험 후 고3학생의 수학지도는 그 방법과 목적이 기존의 수학교과의 내용과 운영방식과는 차별화 되야 한다. 특히 교사는 이에 대한 인식과 필요한 지식이 증대 되야 하며, 교내 방과후 영재반 또는 수학관련 동아리에서 사용할 주제의 선정과 교수법이 개발되어야한다. 주제선정은 대수, 해석영역에서 연계성이 강하게 나타나는 것이 바람직하며, 수학교육의 목표에 실질적으로 부합되어야한다. 본 논문에서 우리는 일${\cdot}$이차 다항식을 예로 제시하고자 한다. 다항식은 중학교 수학교과에서 인수분해와 전개의 대상이고 고교과정에선 접선이나 정적분의 대상이다. 우리는 일${\cdot}$이차다항식을 미분, 적분, 행렬, 그리고 벡터의 입장에서 근사(approximation)의 주체로 다루었다.

This study presents the process and outcomes of developing mathematical-informatics linkage·convergence class materials, based on previous research findings that indicate a lack of such materials in high schools despite the increasing need for development of interdisciplinary linkage·convergence class materials In particular, this research provides insights into the discussions of six teachers who participated in the same professional learning community program, aiming to create materials that are suitable for linkage·convergence class materials and highly practical for classroom implementation. Following the material development process, a theme-based design model was applied to create the materials. In alignment with prior research and consensus among teacher learning community members, mathematics and informatics teachers developed instructional materials that can be utilized together during a 100-minute block lesson. The developed materials utilize societal issue contexts to establish links between the two subjects, enabling students to engage in problem-solving through mathematical modeling and coding. To increase the validity and practicality of the developed resources during their field application, CVR verification was conducted involving field teachers. Incorporating the results of the CVR verification, the finalized instructional materials were presented in the form of a teaching guide. Furthermore, we aimed to provide insights into the trial-and-error experiences and deliberations of the developers throughout the material development process, with the intention of offering valuable information that can serve as a foundation for conducting related research by field researchers. These research findings hold value as empirical evidence that can explore the applicability of teaching material development models in fields. The accumulation of such materials is expected to facilitate a cyclical relationship between theoretical teaching models and practical classroom applications.

수학은 추상적인 학문이다. '추상'은 몇 개 또는 무한히 많은 사물의 공통성이나 본질을 추출하여 파악하는 사고작용이다. 그리고 이 추상들이 모여 분류(유사성을 기초로 해서 우리의 경험을 함께 묶는 것)가 되고 그 다음에 이름이 붙여진다. 이것이 바로 개념(concept)이 형성되는 과정이고 수학자가 수학을 하는 과정이다. 그리고 이 개념들은 여러 가지 모양으로 결합하여 스키마(Schema)라고 부르는 개념 구조를 형성하게 되는데, 이 스키마(Schema)는 수학적 사고를 하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 초등학교 교과서의 소수의 관한 내용에서 교차연결고리가 부족한 부분을 보충한 스키마식 수업 모델을 제시하여 수학의 연계성과 위계성을 강조함으로써 학생들로 하여금 수학의 구조를 파악하게 하여 수학에 대한 흥미와 필요성을 알게 하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다.
