우리의 경우 학교수학에서 문제해결이 강조된지도 20여년이 넘었으나 아직도 수학을 혐오하는 학생들이 적지 않은 것 같다. 이러한 우리의 수학교육의 문제점은 여러 가지 측면에서 접근할 수 있으나 본 연구에서는 문제해결의 관점에서 접근하고자 한다. 먼저 수학학습평가와 사회에서의 평가를 문제해결의 관점에서 비교하고, 또 수학과 교육과정과 교과서의 구성내용과 체제를 문제해결의 관점에서 구체적인 예제를 통하여 조사한다. 나아가 최근의 구성주의의 관점에서 수학수업에서 계산기의 도입 가능성을 살펴본다.

This study aims to uncover sources of environmental learning from a student perspective using the previously unstudied case of South Korea. literature from other countries credits many sources of learning, including: media, school, personal sources, and non-governmental organizations. This analysis is based on focus group and questionnaire data collected during in-country field work. Results from South Korea are then compared with other studies carried out in the Asia-Pacific and the Western developed world. The results show that, similar to other countries including Australia, China, and India; South Korean students learn about the environment mainly through the media and schools. Television, schools, and domestic internet web pages were found to be some of the most-used sources of environmental information in South Korea, while more personal sources, such as community, family, and friends, were found to play an overall lesser instructive role. When compared internationally, South Korean students often exhibited less trust in the reliability of various sources, especially business, community, and foreign sources of information.

This study identified the problems of teaching quadratic functions using a translation and a vertex form by completing squares of which method make teaching contents not to be interconnected and tend to interfere students' conceptual understanding. This seems to generated from which the current mathematics curriculum is not organized to deliver the related contents of quadratic functions from polynomial expressions students have already known. To resolve it this study investigates the properties of quadratic functions from a polynomial perspective and discusses classroom implications with a couple of concrete applications.

본 연구는 확률의 다양한 의미를 반영한 초등학교 확률 학습 프로그램을 개발하고, 개발된 프로그램의 적용 가능성을 알아보는데 목적을 두고 있다. 먼저 확률의 다양한 의미를 반영한 초등학교 확률 학습프로그램을 개발하기 위하여, 프로그램의 기본 방향을 설정하고, 확률의 다양한 의미를 반영하기 위한 교수 방법을 마련하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 초등학교 6학년 한 단원 분량인 7차시로 이루어져 있다. 다음으로 프로그램 시행 전에 실시한 검사에서 확률적 사고 수준이 상 ${\cdot}$ 중 ${\cdot}$ 하인 것으로 나타난 세 명의 학생을 연구 대상으로 개발된 프로그램을 시행하였다. 프로그램 적용 전 ${\cdot}$ 후에 실시한 지필 평가와 비디오 카메라로 녹음한 수업 내용과 학생들의 학습지를 검토하여 프로그램 적용 전, 1${\sim}$7 각 차시 후, 프로그램 적용 후의 시기로 나누어 분석한 결과, 세 학생 모두 확률적 사고 수준이 가장 높은 수준인 4수준으로 발전하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 확률을 이론적 의미 뿐 아니라 경험적 ${\cdot}$ 통계적 의미로 접근하면 초등학교 학생들도 확률 개념을 학습할 수 있었다. 따라서 확률을 다양한 관점으로 접근한다면, 초등학교에서도 독립성, 조건부 확률 같은 개념을 유의미하게 학습할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze students' misconception in the teaming of the conic sections with the cognitive and pedagogical point of view. The conics sections is very important concept in the high school geometry. High school students approach the conic sections only with algebraic perspective or analytic geometry perspective. So they have various misconception in the conic sections. To achieve the purpose of this study, the research on the following questions is conducted: First, what types of misconceptions do the students have in the loaming of conic sections? Second, what types of errors appear in the problem-solving process related to the conic sections? With the preliminary research, the testing worksheet and the student interviews, the cause of error and the misconception of conic sections were analyzed: First, students lacked the experience in the constructing and manipulating of the conic sections. Second, students didn't link the process of constructing and the application of conic sections with the equation of tangent line of the conic sections. The conclusion of this study ls: First, students should have the experience to manipulate and construct the conic sections to understand mathematical formula instead of rote memorization. Second, as the process of mathematising about the conic sections, students should use the dynamic geometry and the process of constructing in learning conic sections. And the process of constructing should be linked with the equation of tangent line of the conic sections. Third, the mathematical misconception is not the conception to be corrected but the basic conception to be developed toward the precise one.

This study aimed to assess the spatial cognition strategies and roles taken by students in the process of solving spatial tasks. For the analysis, this study developed two spatial tests based on the mental rotation test, which were taken by 63 students in their final year in elementary schools. The results of this study showed that in terms of the method of approaching the tasks, students took the comprehensive approach and the partial approach. When solving the tasks, the students were shown to use the imagery thinking or analytic thinking method. In terms of perspective, the students rotated the object or change their perspectives. A comparison of the methods used by the students revealed that when approaching the tasks, the group of students who chose the partial approach had higher scores. In terms of solving the tasks the analytic thinking method, and in terms of perspective, changing perspectives were shown to be more effective. Such effective methods were used more frequently in discrimination tasks than in recognition tasks, and in more complicated items, than in less complicated items. In conclusion, the results of this study suggested that the partial, analytic approach and the change of perspectives are useful strategies in solving tasks which require high cognitive effort.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meanings of school libraries in Japanese reading education. An emphasis was on analyzing both strength and weakness of Japanese school library policies and reading education programs from the viewpoints of Japanese students. Employed to collect the data were a comprehensive literature survey, focus interviews with 23 school librarians, and a survey with 404 Japanese students. The major finding of this study is that the current Japanese school library policy is not adequate enough to make its reading education be successful, and in particular, it has serious flaws with the educational system of school librarians as well as the school library staffing system itself.

수학학습장애는 독해장애와 더불어 학습장애의 주요영역으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 독해 장애에 대한 연구와 비교하였을 때 상대적으로 주목받지 못한 분야로, 과연 수학학습장애는 무엇이며, 수학학습장애 아를 판별하는 기준을 어떻게 설정할 것인가의 문제가 여전히 논란이 되고 있다. 본고에서는 수학학습장애에 대한 최근의 세 가지 관점-신경학적 관점, 발달심리적 관점, 교육적 관점-의 고찰을 통해, 수학학습장애를 진단하기 위한 하나의 통합적 관점이 필요함을 제안하고 있다. 이것은 수학학습장애를 신경적 결함으로만 해석하려는 전통적 관점에 대한 발달심리학자들의 비판을 수용한 것이며, 오늘날 파행적인 교육체계에서 희생되고 소외되어온 학생계층을 포용하기 위한 한 가지 제안이 될 것이다.

This study explores conceptions of learning management and examines the effects on study approach and critical thinking. Undergraduates majoring or minoring in management were gathered through convenient sampling and participated in the online survey. A total of 88 responses were analyzed. The results reveal that there is no significant gender or grade difference on conceptions of learning management. Conceptions of "test" and "seeing in a new way" are associated with deep study approach, whereas conceptions of 'test' is associated with surface study approach. Conceptions of "seeing in a new way" has a significant effect on critical thinking. The findings may inform redesign of instruction or curriculum especially focusing on improving high-quality thinking skills as the learning outcomes.

There are different perspectives on a function graph. For instance, a parabola is defined by movement of a ball in physics and by quadratic function in mathematics. This study deals with the turtle motion, which is local and intrinsic, and the construction of function graphs with mathematical experiments in a microworld. This paper concerns with a function graph which is in the curriculum or in the history of mathematics. In view of pre-calculus, we introduce activities of mathematization about formalizing of length and area of function graphs without knowledge of calculus.
