In this study, pre-service teachers who would be mathematics teachers of secondary school wrote the journal about learning mathematics. Journal writing helped pre-service teachers' math learning. Pre-service teachers could think mathematics reflectively, inquire it, represent their affectivity, plan the self-directed learning, and have the records of learning. They considered the educational issues as instructional methods, organization and management of instruction, assessment, and attitude of teacher. As well, they thought that journal writing was important in learning mathematics and how they would apply their students. Journal writing was meaningful to pre-service teacher education in cognitive and situative aspects.

수학시간에 많은 학생들이 흥미를 갖고 능동적인 학습활동을 할 수 있도록, 실세계 상황의 과제가 제시된 소집단 협력학습, 토론활동 위주의 문제중심학습(PBL:Problem-Based Learning)을 고등학교의 수학교실에 적용한다. 이를 위하여 본고에서는 학습여건의 조성, 적합한 학습과제의 특성, 교사의 역할 등을 중심으로 살펴보고, 발전적인 PBL학습모형을 개발하여 교실 실제에 적용함으로써 고등학교 학생들의 정의적 영역의 태도 변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다.

This study investigated how Korean elementary, middle, and high school students perceive mathematics learning situations to determine whether the mathematics classes provided in schools met the standards of a highquality educational experience. Using a comprehensive survey that considers both formal and implementation aspects of mathematics classes, responses from 15,418 students were analyzed to gain insights into their views on the classroom environment, instructional methods, and overall learning experience. The results indicate that as students advance in grade level, their perceptions of mathematics learning situations become increasingly negative, and mathematics classes are still perceived as being teacher-centered. Additionally, it was found that mathematical manipulatives and technological tools are not being effectively utilized, and that students' learning experiences are influenced by class size and the availability of mathematics subject-exclusive classrooms. Based on these findings, several recommendations were made to improve the quality of mathematics education and enhance students' perceptions: implementing teaching methods that increase student engagement in learnercentered classes, providing opportunities for active and diverse use of teaching aids and technological tools beyond simple calculations, maintaining appropriate class sizes, and expanding the use of mathematics subject-exclusive classrooms. These considerations are crucial for creating a more engaging and effective mathematics learning environment that aligns with evolving educational standards and meets students' needs. The findings of this study provide actionable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to improve the quality of mathematics education in Korea.

현재 초, 중, 고등학교의 수학교육 현실은 수학 개념의 정확한 이해에 초점을 맞추지 못하고 공식의 암기와 그것을 이용하여 단순한 문제 풀이에 시간을 많이 할애함으로써 수학의 기본적인 개념이나 기호의 정확한 사용법을 인지하지 못하고 계산 기능적인 면으로 치우치는 경향이 많이 나타나며, 문제 풀이의 창의적인 상황이 제시되지 않는 상태에서 교사 중심의 문제풀이 방법에만 의존하고 있다. 이러한 문제점 속에서 창의적인 문제 해결 방안을 구상할 수 있는 사고력의 배양에 소홀함이 있다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 학생 스스로 의미를 파악하여 학습 할 수 있는 교수 방법이나 학습 방법에 대한 연구는 현실적으로 매우 시급한 상황에 처해있다. 이러한 상황에서 많은 수학교육자들은 학생들이 좀 더 쉽게 수학의 개념에 접근 할 수 있게 하기 위하여 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 그러한 노력 중의 하나로 테크놀러지를 이용한 수학교육을 말 할 수 있는데, 이는 실제로 수학교육에 긍정적인 영향을 준다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문은 현 고등학교 수학I의 등차수열에 관한 내용을 Mathematica를 이용하여 다각수(도형수)로부터 등차수열의 개념을 유도하였다.

This research investigated the Revised mathematics curriculum and the National Achievement Test of Japan that advanced by leaps and bounds in PISA 2012. As compared with Korea, Japan shows similar trends in the affective domain and the cognitive domain of international achievement test. To put it concretely, this research compared and analyzed the mathematics contents domain of the 2009 revised mathematics curriculum of Korea and the 2008 revised mathematics curriculum of Japan being applied. The analysis was conducted in many aspects including overall of Japanese mathematics education system, the contents to be covered in each grade, and the methods of essential learning themes. We compared the mathematics contents dealt with each country based on the framework of analysis such as
