This study aims to provide implications from mathematics education perspective by designing a process of 'validity review on the problem solving process', and then, by analyzing the results. In the result of analysis on the features of children's thinking in accordance with 4 stages of problem solving, children's thinking was equally observed in every stage rather than intensively observed in one stage, and reflective thinking related to important elements from each stage of problem solving process was observed. In the result of analysis of changes in description for problem solving process, there was a difference in the aspects of changes by children's knowledge level in mathematics, however, the activity of validity review on problem solving process in overall induced positive changes in children's description, especially the changes in problem solving process of children. Through the result of this study, we could see that the validity review on problem solving process promotes children's reflective thinking and enables meta-cognition thus has a positive influence on children's description of problem solving process.

The purpose of this study was to design and develop the processes of tasks and assessment rubrics of open-ended tasks, and those for the 5th graders of elementary school mathematics. 7 tasks were finally developed, and 'problem understanding', 'problem solving process', 'communication' were selected as the criteria for assessment rubrics. The result was that the ability of mathematical power covering problem understanding ability, problem solving ability and mathematical communication ability was low. Specifically, problem understanding ability was the highest, problem solving ability was middle, and mathematical communication ability was the lowest.

The flexible mathematical thinking - the ability to generate and connect various representations of concepts - is useful in understanding mathematical structure and variation in problem solving. In particular, the flexible mathematical thinking with the inventive mathematical thinking, the original mathematical problem solving ability and the mathematical invention is a core concept, which must be emphasized in all branches of mathematical education. In this paper, the author considered a case of flexible mathematical thinking with an inventive problem solving ability shown by his student via real analysis courses. The case is on the proofs of the equivalences of three different definitions on the concept of limit superior shown in three different real analysis books. Proving the equivalences of the three definitions, the student tried to keep the flexible mathematical thinking steadily.

This study aims to improve the teaching and learning method on the conic sections. To do that the researcher analyzed the impact of dynamic geometry software on students' problem solving of the conic sections. Students often say, "I have solved this kind of problem and remember hearing the problem solving process of it before." But they often are not able to resolve the question. Previous studies suggest that one of the reasons can be students' tendency to approach the conic sections only using algebra or analytic geometry without the geometric principle. So the researcher conducted instructions based on the geometric and historico-genetic principle on the conic sections using dynamic geometry software. The instructions were intended to find out if the experimental, intuitional, mathematic problem solving is necessary for the deductive process of solving geometric problems. To achieve the purpose of this study, the researcher video taped the instruction process and converted it to digital using the computer. What students' had said and discussed with the teacher during the classes was checked and their behavior was analyzed. That analysis was based on Branford's perspective, which included three different stage of proof; experimental, intuitive, and mathematical. The researcher got the following conclusions from this study. Firstly, students preferred their own manipulation or reconstruction to deductive mathematical explanation or proving of the problem. And they showed tendency to consider it as the mathematical truth when the problem is dealt with by their own manipulation. Secondly, the manipulation environment of dynamic geometry software help students correct their mathematical misconception, which result from their cognitive obstacles, and get correct ones. Thirdly, by using dynamic geometry software the teacher could help reduce the 'zone of proximal development' of Vigotsky.

One of the important aims in mathematics education is to enhance mathematical thinking for students. And students posing questions is a vital process in mathematical thinking as it is part of the reasoning and communication of their learning. This paper investigates how students develop their mathematical thinking through working on tasks in fractions and posing their own questions after successfully solved the problems. The teaching was conducted in primary five classes and the results showed that students' reasoning is related to their analogy with what previously learned. Also, posing their problems after solving the problem not only helps students to understand the structure of the problem, it also helps students to explore on different routes in solving the problem and extend their learning content.

본 고에서는 학교 현장에서 보다 쉽게 학생들의 메타인지적 접근이 가능할 수 있도록 선행 연구와 문헌 검토를 통하여 메타인지적 발문을 고안하고 이에 따라 학생들에게 훈련을 실시하였다. 이러한 목적은 메타인지가 수학적 사고 과정에 중요한 역할을 하는 도구임을 제안하고, 학생들의 메타인지 능력을 향상시킴으로써 수학적 사고력을 신장시킬 수 있다는 근거를 마련하는 것이다. 두 가지 사례를 들어, 문제해결 과정에서 메타인지적 활동의 훈련을 통하여 학생들의 수학적 사고 과정에서 나타나는 메타인지를 분석함으로서 자신의 문제 해결 과정에서 필요한 전략과 절차를 의식적으로 모니터링하며 조정하고 통제하려는 모습을 구체적인 사례와 함께 제시하였다.

Objective: This research aims to examine the effect of a young children's engineering-focused STEAM program based on the project approach - a program that constructs components aligned with children's interests in their play through an engineering design process - on their scientific inquiry ability, mathematical problem-solving ability, and creativity. Methods: In this research, 42 five-year-old children from a public kindergarten in S district, I city, were randomly divided into experimental and comparative groups, each with 21 children. The engineering-focused STEAM program was conducted from April 18 to June 10, 2022, with the experimental group exploring the 'car' theme and the comparison group focusing on a different theme. The study employed an independent sample t-test and analysis of covariance(ANCOVA), using the pretest as a covariate to control variables. Results: The children-selected 'cars' themed engineering-focused STEAM program was effective in enhancing their scientific inquiry ability, mathematical problem-solving ability and creativity. Conclusion/Implications: The engineering-focused STEAM program, which emerges from young children's interesting daily play, had positive effects on enhancing their scientific inquiry ability, mathematical problem-solving ability, and creativity. This research can serve as fundamental data for developing education programs focused on engineering within the STEAM framework, guided by children's emergent play.

수학적 과정에서 나타나는 언어 구문론적 표현 체계와 정의적 표현 체계 사이에는 긴밀한 상호 작용이 이루어진다. 한편, 수학적 개념 체계도 본질적으로 은유적이므로 언어적 표현을 통해 나타나는 수학적 개념 구조에 대한 분석은 수학 학습에 작용하는 인지 정의적 장애 요인의 근원을 밝히는데 도움이 될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수학 영재아의 문제해결 프로토콜을 인지언어와 메타정의의 관점에서 분석하여 텍스트 및 은유의 기능적 특성과 메타정의의 기능적 특성 사이의 관계성을 파악하였다. 그 결과 문제해결의 성공 여부에 따라 수학 영재아의 인지적, 정의적 특성이 반영된 행위의 양상이 서로 다르게 나타났다. 성공적이지 못한 문제해결의 경우에는 성공적인 경우에 비해 내부 표현 체계로서의 은유를 활용하는 행위가 상대적으로 빈번하게 나타났다. 또한 은유의 인지언어학적 측면이 문제해결에 중요하게 작용하면서 동시에 은유라는 외적 표현에는 메타정의적 속성이 긴밀하게 관련되어 나타났다.

수학 영재들은 타고난 수학적 소질과 적성, 지적인 능력과 창의성을 바탕으로 참신한 과제에 대한 도전적이고 창조적인 호기심을 가지고 있다. 영재아들의 창의적인 사고력을 길러주기 위해서는 다양한 방법으로 문제 해결에 접근하게 하고 전략적 시도를 할 수 있도록 만들어주어야 한다. 이런 관점에서 볼 때 개방적이고 비정형적인 문제를 영재 교육프로그램의 과제로 선정하는 것은 바람직하다 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 유형의 개방형 문제를 구안하고, 이를 토대로 영재 학급에서 학습 활동을 전개한 후, 문제해결 과정에서 영재아들의 수학적 사고 능력의 특성과 문제 해결 전략 사례를 분석하여, 개방형 과제를 활용한 초등학교 영재 수업에 관한 시사점을 얻고자 하였다.
