최근 초등학교를 중심으로 급속히 확산되고 있는 열린교육은 종래의 규격화된 일제식 수업과 경직된 교육운영의 틀을 깨고, 다양한 수업의 방법들을 도입하고 개발하고 보급하고자 하는 교육운동이다. 이것은 교육을 ‘하는 사람’이 아니라 ‘받는 사람’을 위주로 하여 행하는 민주주의적인 교육형태로서, 이른바 학습자 및 학부모의 요구에 부응하는 ‘수요자 중심의 교육’임을 뜻한다. 따라서 진정한 열린교육의 효과를 얻기 위해서는, 현재 일반적으로 주력하고 있는 학교교실에서의 교수학습방법 개선 노력 이외에 학부모와 학교간의 건전하고 진정한 협력 관계가 수립, 유지되어야 할 필요성이 높다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 필요성에 근거하여, 교사와 어머니와의 동반자적 관계를 수립하고 서로 협력함으로써 초등학교 1학년 아동의 수학 학습의 방향 및 활동방법을 제시하고자 한다.

This study is to make strides toward an enriched understanding of changing a prevailing teacher-centered mathematics classroom culture to a student-centered culture by analyzing six reform-oriented classrooms of three elementary school teachers throughout a year This study provided a detailed description of important classroom episodes to explore how the participants in each class established a reform-oriented mathematics microculture. Despite the exemplary form of student-centered instruction, the content and qualities of the teaching practices are somewhat different in the extent to which students' ideas become the center of mathematical discourse and activity. Given the similarities in terms of general social norms and the differences in terms of socio-mathematical norms and mathematical practice, this study addresses some crucial issues on understanding the culture of elementary mathematics classroom in transition.

This study intends to understand the practice of elementary school mathematics education, focusing on the teaching and learning methods. To achieve these goals, we reviewed and analysed instructional methods pertaining to both (general) pedagogy and mathematics education. And we designed and implemented a questionnaire survey regarding the elementary school teachers' opinions. Moreover, we observed several mathematics lessons of elementary school to understand better the practice of teaching and learning. From these survey and observation, we learned several important aspects of investigation and development of instructional methods.

The purpose of this study is to identify the influences of the reciprocal writing-reflection activities on the mathematical learning of the 2nd grade students by developing a class model using reciprocal writing-reflection activities method as one of the interactive application of manipulative activities, reflective thought and communication activities which are the learning principles of constructivism. We have experimented and investigated to after dividing experimental objects into two group, experimental groups and comparative group, The conclusions of this study are followings. First, reciprocal writing-reflection activities showed significant effects on mathematical achievements of the group with lower achievements in learning. Second, reciprocal writing-reflection activities positively influenced mathematical tendency of the students. Third, the students had positive attitudes in interest, desire and usefulness regarding reciprocal writing-reflection activities. And reciprocal writing- reflection activities are helpful for their reflective thinking and communication activities.

The current 7th National Mathematics Curriculum had been developed as a learner-centered curriculum and begun to apply to high school since 2002. This paper discusses issues related to the high school mathematics curriculum application into high school. The mathematics curriculum for grades 11 and 12 was developed primarily as a learner-centered one to provide five elective courses according to the needs of students based on their future occupation and attitudes. Discussion starts with the differences of the five elective courses: the three of them have dependent and sequential structure and the two are totally different with regards to their levels of difficulty and the content they span. It is claimed that the frameworks of the 2005 National Ability Test for the College Entrance and the minimal enrollment requirements of several influential colleges' admission policy make the high school mathematics education very rigid, unflexible, and anti-educational. Several suggestions to recover and imp-rove the high school mathematics education and the spirit of the 7th curriculum are presented.

Students need to have opportunities to share their ideas with peers by taking part in the conversation voluntarily that is, by persuading others and reflecting the consequences. Recognizing the importance of this point, this study intended to examine students' argumentation occurring in the process of performing tasks in the math classroom. Also, it tried to explore the types of the argument that students used in the classroom and the reason why they employed them with a focus on 'rebuttal', which is one of the six elements of the argument scheme such as claim, data, warrent, backing, qualifiers, and rebuttal. The analysis of argumentation is based on the five argumentation schemes suggested by Verheij(2005). The experimental class was conducted twice a week with four participants who are third grade middle school students. In the argumentation class students were promoted to address two different kinds of geometrical tasks. After the second session of class, the researcher conducted the semi-structured interview. Accordingly, this study contributes to the existing research by making students to have concrete and active argumentation while obtaining the sound understanding of the argumentation.

Recently, there are many countries which have tried to renew mathematics curriculum in the world. The study aims to induce useful implications for improving our mathematics curriculum through reflections on revised mathematics curriculums in many countries. In order to attain these purposes, the present paper reflects systems and contents of mathematics curriculum of Germany, which is not well known to us in spite of old mathematical tradition including Klein's theory for mathematics education. But there are inherent mathematics curriculum for each state in Germany Therefore this paper analyzes mathematics curriculum in state Nordrhein-Westfalen. Under these analyses, implications for our mathematics curriculum are discussed.

Mathematical justification is the process through which one's claim is validated to be true based on proper and trustworthy data. But it serves as a catalyst to facilitate mathematical discussions and communicative interactions among students in mathematics classrooms. This study is designed to investigate the effects of mathematical justification on students' problem-solving and communicative processes occurred in a mathematics classroom. In order to fulfill the purpose of this study, mathematical problem-solving classes were conducted. Mathematical justification processes and communicative interactions recorded in problem understanding activity, individual student inquiry, small and whole group discussions are analyzed. Based on the analysis outcomes, the students who participated in mathematical justification activities are more likely to find out various problem-solving strategies, to develop efficient communicative skills, and to use effective representations. In addition, mathematical justification can be used as an evaluation method to test a student's mathematical understanding as well as a teaching method to help develop constructive social interactions and positive classroom atmosphere among students. The results of this study would contribute to strengthening a body of research studying the importance of teaching students mathematical justification in mathematics classrooms.

학교에서 가르치는 것과 학교 밖에서 실행되고 있는 것과는 서로 연결성을 유지하면서 통합을 이루어야 된다고 볼 때, 교과서 위주의 형식화되고 구조화된 내용만으로 이루어지는 제한된 학습활동은 수학과 교육과정에서 요구하는 수준의 문제해결을 기대하기가 어렵다. 본고에서는 학생들의 수학적 경험과 관련된 실생활 중심의 과제(Project)를 공동으로 해결하는 과정에서 학생 개개인이 자신의 지적 능력에 따른 역할을 가치 있게 수행함으로써 문제 해결력을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다.
