Several researches have been done on the meaning of probabilistic thinking level and its pedagogical implication. However, there is lack of trials of using topics in probability to educate mathematically gifted students. As a result, we don't have sound understanding on gifted students' probabilistic thinking level and how to facilitate it through educational program. This study examines the meaning of probabilistic thinking level, develops and applies tasks in probability for gifted education. Having the analysis of the student responses, this study tries to investigate how teachers who participate in an in-service teacher education program interpret the developed tasks and student responses. In conclusion, this study shows the possible approach of gifted education using probability tasks to facilitate gifted students' probabilistic thinking level and its potential in identification of giftedness through observation.

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.

수학적 기호는 수학이라는 특수한 분야에 한정되어 사용되는 언어라고 할 수 있다. Usiskin(1996)은 수학을 쓰고 수학적 의미를 의사 소통하는 데에 기호가 그 수단이 되기 때문에 수학 또한, 수학적 기호로 만들어진 언어라고 말하였다. 그러나, 수학적 언어와 일상 언어사이의 이중성 때문에 언어로써 수학 기호는 학생들을 힘들게 만든다. 교사에게는 의미 있는 기호일지라도 학생들에게는 친숙하지 않을 수 있기 때문에, 많은 학생들이 자신들의 수학적 사고를 표현하거나 개념을 반영하거나 또는 아이디어를 확장하기 위해, 수학을 말하고, 읽고, 이해하고 쓰는 데에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 학생들이 기호체계에 능숙해지도록 도와주고, 수학 학습과 문제 해결을 위해 수학 기호 언어가 의미 있고 접근하기 쉬운 의사소통 매체가 되게 하기 위하여 언어적 접근에 의하여 수학적기호의 교수-학습지도 방법에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

This study was to identify the factors influencing the person centered care competency in nursing students. Data were conducted on 294 nursing students from September 1st to 25th 2019. The mean score of critical thinking disposition was 3.72, the interpersonal relationship was 3.90 and person centered care competency was 4.01. Nursing students with high degree of major satisfaction had higher level of critical thinking disposition, the interpersonal relationship and person centered care competency than students with low degree. Significant factors influencing person centered care competency were critical thinking disposition, the interpersonal relationship and grade which explained 33%. The programs that develop critical thinking disposition and interpersonal relationship are necessary for college nursing students in order to promote person centered care competency.

In this study, we investigated the thinking processes of 7th grade science-gifted students in designing application experiments and analyzed their performance levels in the categorized processes. The analyses of the results revealed that they considered 'setting a problem situation,' 'deciding a strategy,' 'identifying the assumptions,' 'defining the measurements,' and 'validating the assumptions' in the processes of designing experiments. However, their performance levels of the categorized processes were found to be rather low. It was especially insufficient in setting the situations concretely appropriated to solve the problems and checking their own thinking critically by proper criteria. Therefore, we suggested a potential learning strategy for designing experiments such as replacing difficult and abstract situations to concrete and familiar situations. These results may offer some implications in developing an education program for science-gifted students to foster creativity by emphasizing scientific thinking skills such as experiment design ability.

Kamii는 피아제의 발생론적 인식론이란 이론을 모태로 수학을 지도해야 학습자가 수학을 이해를 바탕으로 학습할 수 있다는 믿음을 지니고 있다. 본고에서는 Kamii가 이런 신념을 갖고 실시한 수업을 녹화한 비디오 자료에 나타나는 특징을 분석하였다. 첫 번째 특징은, 교사가 가르쳐야 할 지식을 직접적으로 지도하지 않는 대신에 학습자가 스스로 지식을 구성할 수 있도록 매개자의 역할을 한다는 점이다. 두번째, 기저지식으로서 학습자의 비형식적 지식을 학습자가 적극적으로 활용할 수 있도록 허용하는 분위기이다. 세 번째, 두 번째와 관련되어서 학습자의 사고과정은 성인이나 학문적 체계에서 운용되고 있는 사고 흐름과는 다르다는 것을 인정해 준다. 네 번째, 교사의 역할이 가르쳐야 할 지식을 가르치는데(전수하는데) 있는 것이 아니라 학습자들이 생성해 낸 여물지 않은 아이디어들을 익힐 수 있도록 환경을 조성하는데 있다. 다섯 번째, 학습자마다 기저지식이 다르기 때문에 동일한 학습주제라 할지라도 이해의 폭과 깊이가 다르다. 따라서, 전체학급을 대상으로 하는 수업 중이라 할지라도 개별적 학습을 염두에 두어야 한다. 학생들의 수학적 이해력이 저하된다는 염려의 목소리가 높아지고 있다. 이는 학생들이 이해를 바탕으로 한 수업을 받아 보지 못하기 때문이며, 이런 원인은 아마도 교사 자신이 이해를 바탕으로 한 수업 경험이 간접적으로든 직접적으로든 없기 때문일 것이다. Kamii가 실시한 수업이 학생 스스로 수학을 학습할 수 있다는 구성주의 원리를 적용한 성공적인 사례이며, 이와 같은 방향으로의 교수법의 변화가 있기를 기대한다.

The study aimed to investigate what high-school students recognize mathematics textbooks and how they use textbooks in their learning mathematics in and out-of mathematics classrooms. For this purpose, we developed a set of interview questions in order to unpack what high-school students thought about mathematics textbooks and how they intended to use the textbooks for their learning mathematics. Eleven high-school students participated in the interview; the interview lasted for about an hour for each student. The data from the interviews were analyzed. The findings from the data analysis suggested as follows: a) the students seemed to consider mathematics textbooks as crucial medium for a mathematics classroom material and thus, they were likely to obliged to use the textbooks for preparing for not only tests and examination conducted regularly in schools but college entrance examination conducted nationwide; b) however, the students appeared to use the textbooks in limited ways in which they looked into the textbooks to prepare for mid-term or final exam only, not for their understanding mathematical contents as a main resource; and c) the students seemed to realize that they rarely have had an opportunity to develop mathematical thinking capabilities and understand mathematical ideas conceptually through the mathematics textbooks.

The purpose of this study was to analyze variable-controlling strategy (below vcs) and the ability to infer the effect of variables in Middle school students who experienced 'Thinking Science' activities in a CASE program. For this study, 71 9th grade students experienced in CASE program for 2 years were selected as the experimental group and 72 students were selected as the control group. All students were tested with Science Reasoning TaskVII. The five types of variable-controlling strategy were extracted from students' response. According to the result of this study, the students experienced in CASE program was more successful in the variable-controlling strategy of length, quality, and shape than the control group. The types of reasoning ability of the variable effect intuitively were categorized as possibility of reasoning, impossibility of reasoning, and impossibility of reversible thinking. It has shown that the reasoning ability of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group in the length and thickness variable effect. The results of this study implied that the variable controlling activities in CASE program could be effective for learning variable controlling, and eventually, for the development of reasoning ability of the variable controlling effect. In the ability to infer the effects of variables to get difficult Intuitively, both groups were similar to the rate of cognitive level reached to the formal operation in generalization, and the student of experimental group was 1.5 times faster than the control group.
