The purpose of this study is to help the efficient and practical teaching and learning of a mathematic subject in schools by comparing and analyzing the sixth and seventh curriculum of mathematics on the basis of the demand that the current curriculum should be improved, made, and adapted newly. This paper 1. studies the meaning of the curriculum and the theory of the curriculum of mathematics 2. looks into the history of the curriculum of mathematics from the first to the sixth. 3. compares an outline of the sixth and seventh curriculum. As a result, it exhibits the great difference in giving students choices for subjects and nullifying the meaning of the subject distinction, which means a new system with consistency based on the concept of a grade system instead of the present school system. 4. summarizes the result of comparing and analyzing the sixth and seventh curriculum which will be practiced from the year 2002 5. The beginning of the seventh curriculum in high schools will be from the year 2002 and the ministry of education is expected to take proper actions for its successful settlement, yet at this point this study gives some suggestions for its smooth and normal operation.

As the society turns into one based on knowledge, there has been the general project of education informalization carried out. In this respect, the Seventh Common and Basic National Curriculum has adopted information and communication education which implies a broader meaning than just computer education. It also planned to make it mandatory to allocate one hour of computer class a week at the Int and second grade course and higher grades beginning at 2001, as well as to increase the initial one hour gradually by the year coming. In addition to the one hour of mandatory computer class a week, it advises teachers to use computer so that it can account for at least 10% of teaching-learning process in ten subjects per each grade which takes the Seventh Common and Basic National Curriculum. This study intended to learn about computer education curriculum at school and information and communication technology education found in the Seventh Common and Basic National Curriculum(1st∼10th grade) and to examine if they have a consistency for each grade. In addition to that, investigated the actual state of school by checking students' ability to operate computer and teachers' opinion through questionnaire survey.

This paper investigated the teaching and teaming of contents-related graphing in Korean secondary textbooks and suggested the improved methods of graph instruction through this analysis. reification-the case of function, In Harel, G., Dubinsky(Eds.), The Concept of Function : Aspects of Epistemology and Pedagogy Textbooks are analyzed from the viewpoint of the proportion of graphing contents, their sequencing, the proportion of each domain in graphing activities (interpretation vs. construction, quantitative vs. qualitative aspect, local vs. global aspect) and tasks (prediction, translation, scaling), and the difference in the graphing contents between the sixth and the seventh curriculum. This analysis demonstrates that graphing contents are increasing in textbooks, therefore the high school textbooks appear in almost every content area. The graphing activities concentrate on the construction, the quantitative aspects, and the local aspects, and are gradually focusing on the interpretation and global aspects of high school textbooks. Furthermore, most of graphing tasks favor translation. In contrast, the current seventh curriculum includes a balance of interpretation and construction activities and has more global aspects than the sixth curriculum based textbooks; however, the qualitative approach still rarely appears. For the graphing tasks, translation is still prevalent, but the importances of prediction tasks based on graph have increased in comparison with the sixth curriculum textbooks. Further, the seventh curriculum based textbooks are designed to stimulate more dynamic graphing instruction by introducing new tools such as graphing calculators and computer software. We suggest that the qualitative and global aspects should be emphasized in early graph instruction, a variety of graph activities in realistic contexts should be performed, and educational technology such as graphing calculator and computer can be efficient to implement these ideas.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze changes to the middle school mathematics textbooks of third mathematics curriculum period and seventh mathematics curriculum period. This study put the math curricula from the third to the sixth one in third mathematics curriculum period as those math curricula witnessed the maintenance of industrial society paradigm. And then it put the math curricula from the seventh one to current the 2009 revised mathematics curriculum in seventh mathematics curriculum period as the knowledge-based information society paradigm has continued throughout those math curricula. Based on those period categories, We compared and analyzed changes of the middle school math textbooks. For the comparison and analysis of math textbooks between the two periods, this study set the unit organization system, unit goal, task type and content development approach as analysis elements in the unit of 'Nature of Figures' in the second grade math textbooks for middle school. As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the textbooks of the two periods had many changes in the unit organization system, but the unit goal, task type, and content development approach stayed in low level goals and task type that require conceptual and procedural.

There has been much concern and worry about executing school curriculum from the year 2000 because the seventh curriculum is based on the complicated' differentiated education' concept. Now the new textbook has been developed according to the curriculum. This paper will reinforce the understanding of the curriculum and textbook in school math. In order to do this, this paper will present questions on three subjects to help school teachers and people related to math education to probe and discuss the benefits and problems of teaching math using the new textbook. The three subjects are based on the contents included in certain chapters of the math textbook. These are 1) understanding mathematics concepts using manipulatives or concrete objects, 2) doing math projects or problem solving activities 3) learning mathematics using calculators. furthermore, it is emphasized in this paper that math teachers must keep in mind that they should execute instruction in their own way using the 'textbook' not as a bible but as a guideline.

The Government revised the sixth education curriculum plan because of rapid growth of information and communication technology, variance of computer applicable fields and curriculum plan related intelligence information. In according to this principle, the seventh curriculum plan remodeled not only knowledge cultivation as cultured person but also new curriculum correspond to special character of industrial high schools. The revised main contents are organized practicable subjects considering actual educational environments, deleted duplicated subjects and also added practicable another contents of multimedia and telecommunication fields. In this paper, we study curriculum for integrated computer education of industrial high schools according to the seventh education plan. For this research, it is searched opening classes and completion models of special subjects related computer fields of industrial high schools in Busan, we propose completion model for each school year and new curriculum of industrial high schools. We also recommend another approach methods for training and election of teachers. Therefore, this research can apply to the basis research data for the future curriculum model related computer science of industrial high schools.

Since textbooks for elementary school mathematics in accordance with the seventh curriculum are 'Class I' textbooks, which are used as one and only one textbooks throughout the country, the following aspects have been considered： In the legal aspect, the contents including the curriculum for mathematics asked of the Writing Committee by the Ministry of Education were reflected; in the aspect of theory of mathematics education, the textbooks are written in a way appropriate to theory of mathematics education; and in the aspect of application of reality, the textbooks are written to help improving mathematics education in classrooms. Therefore, the main frame of writing the textbooks is to make students feel proud enough to say "I have done mathematics", through helping students rationally solve problems surrounding them by themselves with their experiences and activities. In the above viewpoint the following sentence is reflected upon: "Hundred explanations are not equal to one manipulation activity."

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.

Now in Korea, the 7th curriculum reform is underway. The main difference of the seventh curriculum compared with former curricula is that it puts much emphasis on individual difference. It is a "differentiated" curriculum. The basic directions of the 7th mathematics curriculum are as follows: 1. Offer various mathematical subjects for "Selective Educational Period" (Grades 11 and 12). 2. 30% reduction of mathematical contents. 3. The reconciliation of domain names of school mathematics. 4. The use of computers and calculators in mathematics classrooms.
