  • This study qualitatively investigates the nature of the challenges that a student who is highly successful in mathematics faces in learning college-level elementary statistics. The study draws on the constructs of eagerness, flexibility and willingness to characterize the necessary disposition for critical thinking that is essential in learning statistics. The case study is based on data collected through a survey assessment and a follow-up interview with a mathematics major enrolled in an elementary college statistics course at the time of the study. The qualitative analysis relies on the student's verbal descriptions of the challenges he was experiencing in the course. The findings suggest that while his strong inclination towards inquisitive learning and strong understanding of mathematical concepts supported this student's mathematics learning, the same characteristics might have been causing him difficulties in learning college-level elementary statistics.

  • In this paper, we analyzed the correlation among scores of the mathematics B-type grade of College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT), scores of Mathematics Level Assessment(MLA) and written test scores of Basic Mathematics Subject(BMS) made by students. Especially, we examined the relationship between CSAT grade with results of MLA and results of BMS through survey of students who changed their grades and learned about reasons. In addition, we analyzed error types for the descriptive problem solving in BMS written tests..

  • Promoting students' mathematics understanding is an important research theme in mathematics education. According to general theories of learning, mathematics understanding is close to active learning or significant learning. Thus, if a teacher wants to promote his/her students' mathematics understanding, he/she should pay attention to the students so that the students' thinking is in active situation. In the first part of this paper, some mathematics teachers' ideas about paying attention to their students in Chinese high school are given by questionnaire and interview. In the second part of this paper, we give some teaching episodes about how experienced mathematics teachers promote their students' mathematics understanding based on paying attention on them.

  • Students' mathematics application ability is a hot spot which mathematics education pays attention. So, I have carried on the test of mathematics application and the questionnaire survey to student of Senior One of the two middle schools. Through the test and the investigation, I discover that the level of the students' mathematics application ability is not high. To the simple application question, the difference of the male and the female is not big, but to the difficult application question, the male and the female has the remarkable difference. The students' lack of flexible and the original cognition monitoring ability in mathematics application process are afraid of studying mathematics application since childhood and lack of the training of this aspect. They thought mathematics foundation and reading understood ability is the key of mathematics application. Through analysis result of investigation, this paper proposed the way to raise mathematics application ability of students.

  • 대학수학 학습에 필요한 성공요인, 실패요인에 대한 조사와 수학과 컴퓨터에 대한 태도검사를 학생들에게 실시하여 그 결과를 분석한 다음 외국학생들에 대한 연구결과와 비교해보고 학습지도에 활용하는 방법을 제시하고 있다. 학기초나 수업을 시작할 때 수학의 필요성과 중요성을 강조하고 구체적으로 학교 수준에 맞는 성공, 실패 항목을 지적하고 필요한 대책을 강구하며 컴퓨터의 도움이 수학학습에 필요하므로 학생들이 이용할 수 있는 컴퓨터 실습실을 만들어 주고 소프트웨어도 지원하여 도움을 받을 수 있도록 학교 당국에 협조를 구할 수 있는 근거를 제시하고 있다.

  • Large Midwest university faculty members proposed the Science and Technology Enhancement Program Project (STEP) to improve students' learning in the secondary mathematics classroom using modules of inquiry-based teaching. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the STEP Project on students' attitude toward mathematics. Hierarchical linear models (HLM) were used to evaluate the impact of the STEP Project. The sample group for the study was 130 ninth grade students enrolled in Integrated Algebra I in a large urban school district. The school was one of eight secondary schools that participated in the STEP Project. The classes in the treatment group were three of five classes ordered in terms of the highest, middle, and lowest mean GPA. The control group consisted of two other middle GPA classes. The classes had an average of 25 students. Teachers who previously had been involved in the STEP Project taught all treatment and control classes. The inquiry-based teaching activities provided by the project were confined to the treatment classes. The survey measuring students' attitudes toward mathematics were obtained for both groups of students. The inquiry-based teaching affected students' attitudes toward mathematics (p < 0.07, ES = 3.07). Especially, students who had preexisting low attitudes toward mathematics were significantly affected by treatment (p < 0.02, ES = 0.02), while the treatment positively affected African American students overall at p < 0.08 (ES = 0.58).

  • This study has its purpose to diversify teaching and evaluation for college mathematics, moreover increasing students loaming ability, who dislike or have lower ability to study. Cooperation, level learning and various evaluation make students better reaction in 1999 first term than in 1996 first term. Also we hope more researches for this field could be syudied.

  • 신종 코로나바이러스(COVID-19)로 인한 비대면(Untact, 비접촉) 대학수학교육에서 적절하고 공정한 평가에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구진은 2020년 여름 S대학에서 진행한 도전학기에서 '인공지능을 위한 기초수학' 강좌를 운영하면서 평가의 공정성을 보장하면서도 교육의 양과 질을 향상시킬 수 있도록, 온라인과 오프라인 평가를 혼용한 과정중심 PBL(Problem/Project-Based Learning, 문제/프로젝트 기반학습) 평가를 전면적으로 도입하였다. 그 결과, 해당 강좌를 수강한 대부분의 학생들이 예외 없이 관련 지식을 폭넓게 학습했음을 확인했으며, 학습자들로부터 언택트 시대에 보통의 온라인 강좌에 적용 가능한 이상적이고 공정하며, 합리적이고 동시에 효과적인 평가방법이라는 피드백을 받았다. 본 원고에서는 과정중심 PBL 평가 사례를 구체적으로 증빙과 함께 소개한다.
