The purpose of this research is to compose the curriculums of mathematics for the technical high school students to ream their own majors effectively. First, we analysed the goal of mathematics education in high school and the goal of education in technical high school and the 6th and 7th National Curriculums of mathematics. And next, we researched the reality and the necessity of mathematics education in technical high school. As the result of this analysis, we found some problems of mathematics education in the technical high school. So we composed the scope, the sequence, and the units of mathematics textbook which reflect the curriculum of technical high school.

The students in secondary schools have been taught calculus as an important subject in mathematics. The order of chapters-the limit of a sequence followed by limit of a function, and differentiation and integration- is because the limit of a function and the limit of a sequence are required as prerequisites of differentiation and integration. Specifically, the limit of a sequence is used to define definite integral as the limit of the Riemann Sum. However, many researchers identified that students had difficulty in understanding the concept of definite integral defined as the limit of the Riemann Sum. Consequently, they suggested alternative ways to introduce definite integral. Based on these researches, the definition of definite integral in the 2015-Revised Curriculum is not a concept of the limit of the Riemann Sum, which was the definition of definite integral in the previous curriculum, but "F(b)-F(a)" for an indefinite integral F(x) of a function f(x) and real numbers a and b. This change gives rise to differences among ways of introducing definite integral and explaining the relationship between definite integral and area in each textbook. As a result of this study, we have identified that there are a variety of ways of introducing definite integral in each textbook and that ways of explaining the relationship between definite integral and area are affected by ways of introducing definite integral. We expect that this change can reduce the difficulties students face when learning the concept of definite integral.

The representation of irrational numbers has a key role in the learning of irrational numbers. However, transparent and finite representation of irrational numbers does not exist in school mathematics context. Therefore, many students have difficulties in understanding irrational numbers as an 'Object'. For this reason, this research explored how mathematics textbooks affected to students' understanding of irrational numbers in the view of process and object. Specifically we analyzed eight textbooks based on current curriculum and used framework based on previous research. In order to supplement the result derived from textbook analysis, we conducted questionnaires on 42 middle school students. The questions in the questionnaires were related to the representation and calculation of irrational numbers. As a result of this study, we found that mathematics textbooks develop contents in order of process-object, and using 'non repeating decimal', 'numbers cannot be represented as a quotient', 'numbers with the radical sign', 'number line' representation for irrational numbers. Students usually used a representation of non-repeating decimal, although, they used a representation of numbers with the radical sign when they operate irrational numbers. Consequently, we found that mathematics textbooks affect students to understand irrational numbers as a non-repeating irrational numbers, but mathematics textbooks have a limitation to conduce understanding of irrational numbers as an object.

The Korean mathematical curriculum has been changed three times during the resent five years. It led to changes in textbook system. In the 2007 revised mathematics curriculum, workbook was developed focusing on student's self-oriented learning, effective practice in differentiated classroom, and mathematics problem solving considering individual difference. This paper examines the characteristics of the tasks and the way the tasks are organized in the textbooks and the workbook in accordance with the 2007 revised mathematics curriculum; comparing with the function section before and after the amendment. Researchers examine whether the textbook and workbook were accomplished the purpose with "cognitive expectation", "level of cognitive demand", "and "response types". Researchers revised framework of [Son, J. W. & Senk, S. (2010). How reform curricula in the USA and Korea present multiplication and division of fraction. Educ. Stud. Math 74(2), 117-142] to make them suitable for the function section at the seventh grade.

This study analyzed and discussed instruction methods of polyhedrons in elementary mathematics textbook by using the didactic transposition theory. By further segmenting instruction methods, we analyzed the period and order of teaching of polyhedrons, its definitions and presentation methods, and how instruction methods has changed so far. In elementary mathematics textbooks from the 1st to the 2007 revised curriculum, we choose the part where polyhedrons are introduced as the search-target, and analyzed instruction methods in these textbooks by using phenomenological description. The instruction period and order of polyhedrons were systemized when the system of Euclid geometry was introduced, considering the psychological condition of students, and the instruction period and order had been refined according to the curriculum. And methods of definition took into consideration both the academic systems and psychological situations. Also, the subject of learning has changed from textbook and teachers to students. Polyhedrons were connected to real life and students could build up their knowledge by themselves. Constructions were aimed at the understanding of meaning of contents, rather than at itself. Through these analyses, we have some suggestions on the teaching of polyhedrons in the elementary mathematics.

The purpose of this study was to explore how pre-service elementary school teachers participate in a course specifically designed to help them learn how to analyze instruction in terms of the levels of cognitive demand of mathematical tasks. This paper describes what prospective teachers learned while reading the cases of "implementing standards-based mathematics instruction", analyzing all tasks of one unit in one elementary mathematics textbook, observing master teachers' mathematics instruction as well as their colleagues during the practicum period, and developing their own cases on the basis of the design and implementation of instruction focused on mathematical tasks. This paper includes various reflections of the prospective teachers.

이 연구는 분수 개념의 여러 가지 의미에 대해 우리나라 교과서와 싱가포르의 교과서를 비교 분석하여보고, 그 교육적 시사점에 대해 논의한 것이다. 논의의 결과, 등분할 활동을 한 결과를 확인할 수 있는 활동 위주로 구성하는 것이 교사나 학생들에 혼란을 주지 않을 것으로 기대되었다. 분할분수의 정의도 두 나라 모두 상대적인 크기를 갖는 수로서의 분수를 드러내도록 다듬어야할 필요가 있음을 알았다. 또한 몫분수나 비율분수를 도입하는 상황이 우리나라가 싱가포르보다 자연스럽지 못하다. 양분수를 좀 더 비중 있게 다루는 것이 실생활과의 관련성 뿐 아니라, 가분수를 도입할 때에 이해를 쉽게 해주며, 분수를 절대적인 크기를 갖는 수로 받아들이도록 하는데도 무리가 없음을 알았다. 그 뿐 아니라 두 나라 교육과정을 비교해본 결과 이산량의 등분할을 통한 분수 도입을 제외하고는 대체로 지도 순서가 우리나라보다 싱가포르가 더 빨리 도입되지만, 단계를 더 세분하여 지도할 뿐 아니라 다루는 분수에 대한 제한이 많음을 알 수 있었다. 우리나라에서도 불필요한 계산에 시간을 소비하지 않도록 이와 같은 제한을 두는 것이 바람직한 대안이라고 판단된다.

One of the prerequisites for the improvement of the teaching of mathematics in our country is an improved curriculum-one which takes account of the increasing use of mathematics in science and technology and in other areas of knowledge and at the same time one which reflects recent advances in mathematics itself. In the new curriculum of mathematics, we have found the problems to teach the concept of sets at secondary level. The idea of a set is the most fundamental one in mathematics. So, this thesis contains the studies of the systematic analysis of sets in dealing with the traditional textbook. The scope of the work is limited to the fundamental ideas, and so it merely touches on the topics of the Concpets, Operations, Cardinal Numbers, Application of Logic, one-to-one Correspondence, Probability and so on. It provides only the essentials, definitions, proofs and some example which are already known and understood in their traditional context. It also presents at the appropriate stages the concepts required (illustrated by examples) in a much clearer fashion than classical teaching does. To compete a study of the sets covered in the textbook of each year, greater detail is needed at the appropriate level.
