Proof is an essential characteristic of mathematics and as such should be a key component in mathematics education. But, teaching proof in school mathematics have been unsuccessful for many students. The traditional approach to proofs stresses formal logic and rigorous proof. Thus, most students have difficulties of the concept of proof and students' experiences with proof do not seem meaningful to them. However, different views of proof were asserted in the reassessment of the foundations of mathematics and the nature of mathematical truth. These different views of justification need to be reflected in demonstrative geometry classes. The purpose of this study is to characterize the types of students' justification in demonstrative geometry classes taught using dynamic software. The types of justification can be organized into three categories : empirical justification, deductive justification, and authoritarian justification. Empirical justification are based on evidence from examples, whereas deductive justification are based logical reasoning. If we assume that a strong understanding of demonstrative geometry is shown when empirical justification and deductive justification coexist and benefit from each other, then students' justification should not only some empirical basis but also use chains of deductive reasoning. Thus, interaction between empirical and deductive justification is important. Dynamic geometry software can be used to design the approach to justification that can be successful in moving students toward meaningful justification of ideas. Interactive geometry software can connect visual and empirical justification to higher levels of geometric justification with logical arguments in formal proof.

본 연구는 초등학교 교사들의 수학적 정당화에 관한 인식을 설문 조사와 면담을 통하여 연구한 것이다. 초등학교 교사를 수학 관련 교과를 전공한 교사(수학 관련교사)와 그 밖의 교과를 전공한 교사(비관련 교사)로 구분하여 두 집단 간의 수학적 정당화의 인식과 정당화의 선호도를 조사 연구하였다. 조사 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 첫째, 우리나라 초등학교 교사들은 비교적 수학적 정당화에 대해 대체로 잘 이해하고 있다. 수학적 정당화는 필요하며 이는 논리적 사고를 기르거나 수학적 지식을 이해시키는 데에 좋은 방법이라는 것에 대해 잘 인식하고 있으며, 권위적 정당화를 선호하지 않고, 형식적 정당화나 귀납적 정당화를 더 가치 있게 여기고 있다. 둘째, 우리나라 초등학교 교사들은 자기 자신이 증명을 할 경우에는 형식적인 수학적 정당화를 선호하나, 학생들을 가르칠 경우 학생들의 이해를 위해 형식적 증명보다는 귀납적 정당화나 그림과 같은 단서를 이용하는 것이 더 효과적이라고 생각하고 있었다.

This paper explored the impact of dynamic geometry software such as CabriII, GSP on student's understanding deductive justification, on the assumption that proof in school mathematics should be used in the broader, psychological sense of justification rather than in the narrow sense of deductive, formal proof. The following results have been drawn: Dynamic geometry provided positive impact on interacting between empirical justification and deductive justification, especially on understanding the necessity of deductive justification. And teacher in the computer environment played crucial role in reducing on difficulties in connecting empirical justification to deductive justification. At the beginning of the research, however, it was not the case. However, once students got intocul-de-sac in empirical justification and understood the need of deductive justification, they tried to justify deductively. Compared with current paper-and-pencil environment that many students fail to learn the basic knowledge on proof, dynamic geometry software will give more positive ffect for learning. Dynamic geometry software may promote interaction between empirical justification and edeductive justification and give a feedback to students about results of their own actions. At present, there is some very helpful computer software. However the presence of good dynamic geometry software can not be the solution in itself. Since learning on proof is a function of various factors such as curriculum organization, evaluation method, the role of teacher and student. Most of all, the meaning of proof need to be reconceptualized in the future research.

이 연구는 중학교 수학 영재학생의 수학적 정당화에 대한 의미 인식과 수학적 정당화의 특성을 파악하여 정당화 교육을 위한 시사점을 얻고자 한 것이다. 이를 위해 17명의 중학교 수학 영재학생을 대상으로 설문지와 검사지를 투입하여 분석한 결과, 영재학생들은 수학적 정당화에 대하여 입증, 체계화, 발견, 지적 도전과 같은 다양한 의미로 정당화를 인식하였고, 연역적 정당화의 선호도가 높았다. 실제 정당화 활동의 결과, 대수와 기하 문항 모두에서 연역적 정당화가 많았지만 대수 문항에서는 경험적 정당화도 많은 반면 기하 문항에서는 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 연역적 정당화를 완성한 경우, 자신의 정당화에 만족함을 보였지만 수학적 문자와 기호를 사용하여 명제의 일반성을 연역적으로 정당화를 하지 못한 경우에는 불만족을 보였다. 연구 결과는 영재학생들이 경험적 추론의 유용성과 한계를 깨닫고 연역적 정당화를 할 수 있도록 하며 특히 대수적 번역 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 정당화 교육이 필요함을 시사한다.

Purpose: Current study aimed at exploring the roles of system justification in the effects of consumers' self-identification with the threatened social in-group on the within-domain versus across-domain consumption. It focused on whether there are positive effects of both of the self-definition and the self-investment on the in-group system justification, and also explored whether the system justification, in turn, could make positive effects on the consumption. Research design, data and methodology: The self-identification was approached in view of self-definition and self-investment when the in-group was threatened by members of their out group. The empirical study was performed with the single factor within-subject design based on the feeling of the consumers' being threatened when the in-group was criticized by the others. The in-group threatened was accessed from the memory of each of the undergraduate students participating in the empirical study by asking them to remember the events by which their important in-group was perceived to be threatened in their past life. Questionnaire data collected from the undergraduate students were used to verify research hypotheses by structural equation model in Amos 21.0 program. Results: First, the self-definition positively affected the within-domain versus across-domain consumption, but did not affect the in-group system justification. Second, the self-investment positively affected the in-group system justification. Third, the system justification made positive effects on the within-domain versus the across-domain consumption. Therefore, this article could contribute to the development of the theory related to compensatory consumption in the view that there could be the positive mediation roles of system justification in the effects of consumers' self-investment to their in-group on the within-domain versus across-domain consumption when the in-group is threatened. Conclusions: The results of this study could give managerial implications to brand or product marketing managers. How to vitalize consumers' self-definition with, and self-investment to, the threatened in-group is at issue to the marketers when consumers' important in-group was threatened by others. By evoking the in-group-based self-investment to consumers when the in-group was threatened, the marketers should increase the level of the system justification, and the marketers should promote the consumers to recognize that their products or brands are included into the within-self domain.

In this paper, firstly examined various proofs types that cover informal empirical justifications by Balacheff, Miyazaki, and Harel ＆ Sowder and Tall. Using these theoretical frameworks, justification activities by 5th graders were analyzed and several conclusions were drawn as follow: 1) Children in 5th grade could justify using various proofs types and method ranged from external proofs schemes by Harel & Sowder to thought experiment by Balacheff This implies that children in elementary school can justify various mathematical statements of ideas for themselves. To improve children's proving abilities, rich experience for justifying should be provided. 2) Activities that make conjectures from cases then justify should be given to students in order to develop a sense of necessity of formal proof. 3) Children have to understand the meaning and usage of mathematical symbol to advance to formal deductive proofs. 4) New theoretical framework is needed to be established to provide a framework for research on elementary school children's justification activities. Research on proof mainly focused on the type of proof in terms of reasoning and activities involved. But proof types are also influenced by the tasks given. In elementary school, tasks that require physical activities or examples are provided. To develop students'various proof types, tasks that require various justification methods should be provided. 5) Children's justification type were influenced not only by development level but also by the concept they had. 6) Justification activities provide useful situation that assess students'mathematical understanding. 7) Teachers understanding toward role of proof(verification, explanation, communication, discovery, systematization) should be the starting point of proof activities.

본 연구는 14명의 중학교 2학년 수학영재들이 아르키메데스 다면체를 소재로 한 공간기하과제를 해결하면서 보여주는 정당화 유형과 수학적 표현에 대한 연구이다. 문헌 연구를 통해 정당화 유형과 수학적 표현 분석을 위한 분석틀을 마련하고 이들의 다양한 반응들을 분석하였다. 정당화 유형에서는 부분적인 분석을 통해 형식화를 추구하는 학생과 비형식적이며 경험적인 정당화이지만 모든 구성요소를 고려하여 전체적 정당화를 시도하는 두 반응간의 비교를 통해 비형식적 정당화의 유용성에 분명한 주의를 기울일 필요가 있었다. 수학적 표현에서 시각적 표현은 문제해결을 위한 아이디어를 찾고, 구조를 파악하는데 유용한 역할을 하고 있었으며, 기호적 표현을 점진적으로 발전시키는 과정에서 수학적 개념을 표현 속에 함축시키고 정제시켜 정교한 기호(Harel & Paput. 1994)를 창출하려는 욕구를 발견할 수 있었다.

In parameter design Taguchi analyzed a statistic which he called signal-to-noise(SN) ratio by using the experimental design technique. However he gave no justification for using SN ratios in the optimization procedure of parameter design. In this paper we discuss the validity of such SN ratios as proper statistics to be analyzed in parameter design. Moreover, using the real empirical data we examine the appropriateness of SN ratios, and we explain how transformation technique can be applied in parameter design as an alternative method of analysis.

This paper discusses the determinants of green practices and incorporates some empirical findings from a recent study in the petrochemical sector in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The study was comprised of a survey and follow-up interviews with senior executives who participated in the survey. Of fourteen companies involved, the findings affirmed that the investigation of accidents, provision of an emergency response, employee training, decreasing the production of wastes, and pre-treating wastes before disposal should be stressed. Government requirement, the economic reasons and public pressures were the driving forces of green practices. The five most important determinants identified include performance evaluation, financial justification, impacts on company, management leadership and operations integration. Implementing environmental management systems as a feasible approach to green practices in the petrochemical sector was explored. The findings provide guidance that helps organisations to accommodate the determinants of green practices into achieving sustainable environmental goals.
