In this study, a teaching units for teaching and learning of secondary preservice teachers' mathematising is designed, focusing on reinvention of Bretschneider's formula. preservice teachers can obtain the following through this teaching units. First, preservice teachers can experience mathematising which invent a noumenon which organize a phenomenon, They can make an experience to invent Bretscheider's formula as if they invent mathematics really. Second, preservice teachers can understand one of the mechanisms of mathematics knowledge invention. As they reinvent Brahmagupta's formula and Bretschneider's formula, they understand a mechanism that new knowledge is invented Iron already known knowledge by analogy. Third, preservice teachers can understand connection between school mathematics and academic mathematics. They can understand how the school mathematics can connect academic mathematics, through the relation between the school mathematics like formulas for calculating areas of rectangle, square, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid and Heron's formula, and academic mathematics like Brahmagupta's formula and Bretschneider's formula.

Approximation' is one of central conceptions in calculus. A basic conception for explaining 'approximation' is 'tangent', and 'tangent' is a 'line' with special condition. In this study, we will study pedagogically these mathematical knowledge on the ground of a viewpoint on the teaching of secondary geometry, and in connection with these we will suggest the teaching program and the chief end for the probable teaching. For this, we will examine point, line, circle, straight line, tangent line, approximation, and drive meaningfully mathematical knowledge for algebraic operation through the process translating from the above into analytic geometry. And we will construct the stream line of mathematical knowledge for approximation from a view of modern mathematics. This study help mathematics teachers to promote the pedagogical content knowledge, and to provide the basis for development of teaching model guiding the mathematical knowledge. Moreover, this study help students to recognize that mathematics is a systematic discipline and school mathematics are activities constructed under a fixed purpose.

본 연구의 첫 번째 목적은 수학 교사가 가지고 있는 수학의 교수-학습에 대한 개념을 알아보고자 한 것이다. 두 번째 목적은 수학 교사의 수학 단원에 대한 선호도와 그 이유를 알아보고자 한 것이다. 세 번째 목적은 확률 개념과 통계 개념에 대한 교육적 지식을 알아보고자 한 것이다. 본 연구에서 나타난 결과에 의하면 수학 교사의 수학의 본질에 대한 개념은 문제해결적 관점보다 플라톤적 관점이 더 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 가장 좋아하는 단원으로 도형 부분을 가장 많이 꼽았으며 가장 싫어하는 단원으로 확률과 통계를 가장 많이 꼽았다. 또한 가르치기 가장 쉬운 단원으로 방정식과 부등식 부분을 가장 많이 꼽았으며 가르치기 가장 어려운 단원으로 도형 부분을 가장 많이 꼽은 것으로 나타났다.

This study explored secondary mathematics teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching [MKT]; in particular, it focused on teachers' knowledge of functions. In order to measure teachers' MKT, we developed items according to Ball, Thames & Phelps (2008)'s domains and conducted to 34 secondary mathematics teachers in 5 high schools in Seoul. The findings from the data analysis suggested as follows: a) overall, the teachers scored average 67.4 out of 100, 87.43 in Common Content Knowledge[CCK], and the average score of Specialized Content Knowledge [SCK] was the lowest; b) correlations among SCK, KCS, and KCT were statistically significant; and c) there was no sign of statistical significance between CCK and the rest.

본 고에서는 교육대학의 3학년에 재학 중인 예비 초등교사들이 학생으로, 교생으로의 자신들의 경험을 중심으로 기술한 내용을 토대로 그들의 관점에서 본 수학에 대한 생각과 유능한 수학교사의 특징에 대하여 조사하였다. 이들 예비교사의 관점에서 보면 유능한 수학교사는 수학교과에 대한 수학 지식은 물론이고 수학교수에 대한 열정과 함께 학생들에 대한 관심과 사랑을 가지고 있어야한다.

정보화 ${\cdot}$ 세계화 시대에서 중요한 것은 단순히 지식을 암기하는 것이 아니라 스스로 정보를 탐색해 보고 이를 바탕으로 새로운 지식을 창조해내며, 미지의 문제에 직면하였을 때 이를 자주적이며 능동적으로 해결할 수 있는 능력을 기르는 것이다. 이에 수학 교육에 있어서도 이러한 시대적 요구를 반영할 수 있는 새로운 변화가 필요하게 되었고 1997년 12월에는 교육 개혁의 일환으로 추진되어 온 제 7차 교육 과정이 확정 ${\cdot}$ 고시되었다. 제 7차 교육 과정에서는 수학적 힘의 신장을 개혁의 기본 방향으로 정하고 있는데 최근 수학 교육에서는 학습자들의 수학적 힘을 개발하기 위한 학습 방법 중의 하나로 문제 중심학습(Problem Centered Learning)이 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중학교 2학년 일차함수 단원에 알맞은 과제를 개발하여 문제 중심 학습을 실시하였을 때 교사와 학생, 학생과 학생 사이에 나타나는 상호작용을 분석하고, 교사의 역할과 지도과정을 살펴봄으로써 중등학교 수학과에서 문제 중심 학습의 활용 방안과 과제의 개발 방향을 찾고자 하였다.

We first of all emphasize the importance of the research on the history of Korean mathematics. We next make a survey of the brief history of Chosun mathematics as a seed knowledge for further research on Korean mathematics. We hope that our survey will serve researchers as a seed knowledge of their research.

There is no doubt about the importance of teacher knowledge for good teaching. Many researches attempted to conceptualize elements and features of teacher knowledge for teaching in a quantitative way. Unlike existing researches, this article suggests an interpretation of preservice teacher knowledge in the field of geometry using the Shulman - Fischbein framework in a qualitative way. Seven female preservice teachers voluntarily participated in this research and they performed a series of written tasks that asked their subject matter knowledge (SMK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Their responses were analyzed according to mathematical algorithmic -, formal -, and intuitive - SMK and PCK. The interpretation revealed that preservice teachers had overally strong SMK, their deeply rooted SMK did not change, their SMK affected their PCK, they had appropriate PCK with regard to knowledge of student, and they tended to less focus on mathematical intuitive - PCK when they considered instructional strategies. The understanding of preservice teachers' knowledge throughout the analysis using Shulman-Fischbein framework will be able to help design teacher preparation programs.

On the standards or elements of teaching evaluation, the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation(KICE) has carried out several research as follows : 1) establishment of observation elements for selecting examples of good mathematics instruction between 2001 and 2002, 2) development of the standards on teaching evaluation between 2004 and 2006, and 3) investigation on the elements of Pedagogical Content Knowledge including understanding of learners between 2007 and 2008. The purposes of development of mathematics teaching evaluation standards through those studies were to improve not only mathematics teachers' professionalism but also their own teaching methods or strategies. In this study, the standards were revised and modified by analyzing the results of those three studies (namely, evaluation standards) focused on the teacher knowledge of learners' understanding. For this purpose, the meaning of learners' understanding was also investigated in-depth. Finally, the concrete elements on teaching evaluation focused on the teacher knowledge of learners' understanding in math class were new developed, based on the literature reviews on learners' understanding. Then, those evaluation elements were developed according to the five domains of learners' understanding such as evaluation domains such as students' intellectual and achievement level, students' misconception in math, students' motivation on learning, students' attitude on mathematics learning, and students' learning strategies.

This study aims to present a model of mathematics classroom for gifted students by applying the social constructivism. An important function of good materials is promoting students' conjectures and discussions actively, and the model is appropriate to these kinds of materials. This model includes four stages, i. e. forming the subjective knowledge, objectifying, forming the objective knowledge, individual re-forming. And the four stages form a cycle working continuously on more progressive materials. This study presents an example of the classroom for fifteen students of grade 6 on the properties of multiples. Students performed so active investigations, and structured the con-tents learned effectively.
