최근 수학적 사고력 연구가 구체적 수학내용에 기반한 활동과 조작에 대한 연구보다는 활동이나 조작을 통한 결과로 수학적 사고력에 접근하는 일회성 연구로 이루어지는 경향이 있다. 본고에서는 교육 내용을 선정하기 위해 학교수학에서 아동들이 어떤 수학적 사고를 하는데 장애을 겪는지에 주목하여, 이러한 장애를 극복하는 것을 통해 수학적 사고력의 신장을 생각해보고자 하였다. 이에 대수에서는 문자도입에 따른 추상적 상징의 수용과 이용부분에서, 기하에서는 논증기하의 증명도입과정에서 형식적, 연역적 사고 시작으로 아동이 수학적 사고에 어려움을 겪는다는 사살에 주목하였다. 특히 논증 기하의 연역적, 형식적 증명은 논리와 추론이 바탕이 되어야 한다. 그런데 논리와 추론은 고등학교 1학년과정 집합과 명제부분에 들어있어 아동은 논리와 추론에 대한 어떤 경험도, 교육도 받지 않은 상태에서 증명을 하게 된다. 이에 교육 내용으로 수학적 사고력을 신장을 위해 가장 필요한 내용이 논증 기하가 도입되기 이전에 초등학교 5,6학년 아동을 대상으로한 논리와 추론교육이라고 본다. 또한 교육 방법으로는 컴퓨터를 이용한 교육공학적 접근을 하고자 하였다. 교육공학적 접근이 적극 권장되는 교육적 현실과 정규교육과정에서 이를 받아들일만한 시간적 여유가 없음을 감안하여, 교과 내용과 연계된 컴퓨터 교육을 제안하는 바이다. 이에 논리 및 추론 교육은 컴퓨터 교육으로 초등학교의 특기적성 시간이나 정규수업 시간에 이용할 것을 제안한다. 논리와 추론교육을 위해 무엇을 어떻게 가르칠 것인가에 대한 답으로 논리와 추론교육에 적합한 수학적 내용으로 크게 이산수학과 중등 기하의 초등화하여 탐구하도록 하는 내용을, 교육 방법 측면에서는 논리와 추론 교육을 위한 LOGO 기반 마이크로월드를 설계, 이용하여 수학적 사고력을 신장시키고자 한다. 여기까지가 수학적 사고력을 위한 가능성을 모색한 것이라면 후속연구로 이러한 가능성을 실험연구로 검증하고자 한다.

The evaluation of the after-school program depends on whether it achieves its objectives or not so far which makes that it is not easy to figure out which mechanism is attributed to the consequences of the program. This study aims at developing the logic model of the after-school program and follows the processes such as literature review, opinion survey by specialists and in-depth interview with stakeholders. The target program of the study was focused on the special ability aptitude education in the elementary schools. The initial developed theory model was validated and finalized through being reviewed by specialists and teachers in charge of target schools. Based on the framework of logic model, the models are composed of context, components, activities, output/short term outcomes, and long term outcomes. As the key factors of the after-school program, amicable communication between the stakeholders, quality of the program in itself, follow-up management, counseling and guidance for students, instructors' expertise, and quality management of the program were drawn.

This study was conducted to develop a plan for a large-scale implementation of the Girl Friendly Science Program based on the results of analysis and investigation of its current pilot implementation, Girl Friendly Science Program materials, which was first developed in 1999 with the support from Ministry of Gender Equality, consist of 1) five theme-based units that are specifically targeted individual students' unique ability, aptitude, and career choice, and 2) differentiated learning materials for 7th through 10th grade female students. All the materials are available at the homepage (http://tes.or.kr/gfsp.cgi) of 'Teachers for Exciting Science(the organization of science teachers in Seoul area)'. Since the materials are well organized by topic and grade level and presented in both Korean word process document and html format, anyone can easily access to the materials for their own instructional use. Ever since its launch the number of visitors to the homepage has been constantly increasing. The evaluation results of the current pilot implementation of the materials that targeted individual students' ability and aptitude showed that it scored high in terms of its alignment to the original purpose, content, level, and effectiveness to implement in classrooms. However, its evaluation scores were low in terms of the convenience for teachers to guide the materials, and its organization and operation. The results also showed a significant change in students' perception of science, and students' positive experiences of science through various interdisciplinary activities. On the other hand, the evaluation of students' experiences with the materials showed that students' assessment about an activity was largely depending on a success or failure of their experiences. Overall, students' evaluation of activities scores were low for simple activities such as cutting off or pasting papers. According to students' achievement test results, differences between pre and post test scores in the Affective Domain was statistically significant (p<0.05), but not in Inquiry Domain. Based on teachers observations, numerous schools where have run this program reported that students' abilities to cooperate, discuss, observe and reason with evidences were improved. In order to implement this program in a larger scale, it is critical to have a strong support of teachers and induce them to change their teaching strategy through building a community of teachers and developing ongoing teacher professional development programs. Finally, there still remain strong needs to develop more programs, and actively discover and train more domestic woman scientists and engineers and collaborate with them to develop more educational materials for girls in all ages.

In the 21st century, there will be a robot revolution. Only several years ago, industrial robots were the mainstream in the robot market; however, diverse type of robots are currently entering into our daily lives for various purposes, and the robot that thinks and behaves very similarly to human will appear in the near future. However, there is a critical view about the robot period. This means that the robot revolution will change even the framework of our entire society and human life style, and it is necessary to have robot education. It is necessary to start robot education in the elementary school curriculum with a view to enhancing interest in basic science and scientific technology and cultivating creative talents who may adapt themselves to a robotic society. However, there is no systematic robot curriculum owing to insufficient perception of the need of robot education and the educational utilization of robots. Under these circumstances, robot education is largely dependent on education for students with special talents and aptitudes run by private organizations. This paper conducted the following research in order to develop a robot curriculum in education for the gifted elementary students of computer science. First, the paper identified problems by analyzing the robot curriculum from a micro perspective after selecting three organizations that are relatively well perceived out of private organizations that operate robot education for the gifted elementary students of computer science. Second, the paper developed a robot curriculum in education for the gifted elementary students of computer science based on the framework of a robot curriculum run by private sector. Third, the validity of the robot curriculum developed in this paper was verified by a professional group comprising mainly persons in charge of robot curriculum development at private sector and lecturers for robot education for the gifted elementary students of computer science.

Higher grade elementary school students who have superior cognitive abilities need education of basic principles of computer or programming rather than computer in education. In this study, all the errors occurring while elementary school students wrote and executed programs were collected. in the method of predicting and dealing with possible-to-occur problems on programming education of the higher grades (4th, 5th and 6th grades) during their optional special activities or during talent aptitude activities after school, classified by type and analyzed. If the errors analyzed are put to practical use, optimal programming curriculums could be written and such curriculums could be a great contribution to induction of learning effect and interest on teaching learning. It was found by analyzing the errors collected for this study that the most of elementary school students during programming felt difficulties in simple errors by poor use of software and in simple coding by poor use of reserved words in English. In the next, students occurred errors by difficulties in understanding grammar. It was exposed that these error types were the opposite phenomena to those analyzed by commercial software developing companies, however, it is predicted that if teaching learning is setting improved, the same phenomena could be found desirably.
