This research elaborated five components for pre-service mathematics teacher training: 1) Mathematical content knowledge, 2) Pedagogical content knowledge, 3) Pedagogical reasoning, 4) System of training, and 5) Mathematics teachers' beliefs. For the effect teaching, mathematics teacher program should be reformed. The key to improvement should be concerntrated on developing knowledge about effective teaching and translating it into algorithms those teachses can learn and incorporate in their planning prior to teaching. A theory of instruction should specify the most effective sequences in which to present the materials to be learned.

STEAM education, which was introduced to address many of the issues raised in science and technology education, has had a profound impact on the field of education over the past 13 years. This study aims to systematically analyze the research trends of STEAM education integrated with mathematics from 2010 to 2022 and to provide implications for future STEAM education. To this end, 89 articles published in domestic KCI journals were collected and analyzed. The results showed that more than half of the STEAM studies were related to the development and application of STEAM programs. The next most frequent studies were related to current state and improvement oaf STEAM education, followed by curriculum and textbook analysis, and by teacher education and teacher competencies. Students' and teachers' perceptions and attitudes toward STEAM education were addressed in only a few papers.

This study examines the effects of reflective journal writing on the mathematics self-efficacy in reciprocal peer tutoring. Participants were 38 high school students in Gyeonggi province who attended at a summer intensive mathematics course for 4 weeks. This study used a mixed method. SPSS 21.0 program was used to analyze the quantitative data, and the interviews, observational journals and reflective journals of 6 students were used to analyze qualitative data. According to the results, all the subcategories of mathematics self-efficacy, - mathematics problem-efficacy, mathematics success-efficacy, mathematics learning-efficacy, and mathematics subject-efficacy - improved except mathematics occupation-efficacy. In case of mathematics success-efficacy and mathematics problem-efficacy, students revealed the greatest improvement. In conclusion, reflective journal writing in reciprocal peer tutoring could be suggested as a treatment program to improve students' mathematics self-efficacy.

Increasing the problem solving power in school mathematics is the most important task of mathematics education. It is the ultimate goal of mathematics education to help students develop their thinking and creativity and help solve problems that arise in the real world. In this study, we investigated the contents of problem solving according to mathematics curriculum goals from the first curriculum to current curriculum in Korea. This study analyzed the problem-solving contents of the mathematics textbooks reflecting the achievement criteria of the revised curriculum in 2015. As a result, it was the first curriculum to use the terminology of problem solving in the mathematics goal of Korea's curriculum. Interest in problem solving was most actively pursued in the 6th and 7th curriculum and the 2006 revision curriculum. After that, it was neglected to be reflected in textbooks since the 2009 revision curriculum, We have identified the problems of this problem-solving instruction and suggested improvement direction.

This paper provides an outline of mathematics education based on the classroom ecology. Ecology is the subject that concentrates on the relations of human and environment. As mathematics education consists of many factors, it is natural that mathematics education should be interest in the perspective of ecology. This paper examines the meaning of ecology and classroom ecology of mathematics education in the perspective of ecology. And it provides the directions of ecological mathematics education. In special, I set the frame of mathematics classroom in the perspective of ecology. The ecological structure divides microsystem(teacher, student, content), mesosysten(relations of microsystems), exosystem(school), and macrosystem(the objects of mathematics education). Lastly, I suggest the ways of mathematical learning and research of classroom ecology in mathematics education. For we should focus the improvement of students' mathematical ability, we must search for the various teaching and learning methods and the ares of research in the perspective of ecology classroom. Therefore, we should be interested in the classroom environments as well as teaching methods, contents based on the ecology classroom in mathematics education.

This study analyses the cross-application system, one of the diversified college admission processes, based on the entrance examination system by the reorganization of the education curriculum. In addition, this study suggests an improvement direction of mathematics education for students who cross-apply by comparing and analysing academic results in Calculus for those students entering universities through the cross-application system.

The study focuses on what to consider and do for the improvement of math education of Korean Universities by comparing freshmen and seniors of department of math education in their beliefs in mathematics and math. education. The major comparing topics in the beliefs are composed of perception of mathematics as a science, learning methods of mathematics, teaching methods of mathematics, and roles and qualifications of math. teachers. The results of the study show that junior students tend to be more positive in their beliefs, especially in math education area than that of mathematics, compared to the freshmen. It implies that how important the role of topics covered in math education during college years is for changing the future teachers' beliefs in math and math education more positively. The supposed influencing contents of the curriculum of math. education are composed of learning reflection method based on problem-based learning, understanding mathematics as originated from the real world, mathematical pedagogy, text analysis, practice in classroom, and understanding various concepts in math. education area.

The affirmative feature which web based learning and problem based learning in the self directed learning having on-line and off-line study it amalgamates in connection Blended Learning method and specially in mathematics subject as a service course. We introduce a model of BL lecture of Mathematics and tried to find a new way for the quality improvement of university education.

In this article we study structure of the concept of creative products in mathematics using mathematical creative products. We develop MCPSS1 that improve reliability and validity of MCPSS(Creative Product Semantic Scale in Mathematics). And we search structure of the concept of creative products in mathematics using mathematical creative products focused on theoretical investigation. So we suggest structure model of the concept of creative products focused on theoretical investigation. We compare the result with preceding research using various mathematical creative products, find some difference between relations of sub-factors of structure of the concept of creative products. Our result will provide meaningful data to mathematics education researchers that want to know structure of the concept of creative products in mathematics.

Hirabayashi Ichiei has sought theoretical improvement of educational studies in mathematics from the standpoint that educational studies in mathematics should be practical. His beliefs and subsequent attempts have many implications for Korean educational studies in mathematics. In this regard, it is meaningful to examine his theory of mathematics education. But he is not well-known in Korean community of educational studies in mathematics today. For this reason, His life and theory of mathematics education are outlined.
