Problem-centered learning reflects learning strategy based on constructivism. In this learning, students should find the solution in a small group discussion, and share their solutions with classmates in whole class discussion. So students participate in mathematics instruction actively and interact with other students about the strategies. We expect students would change their attitudes on mathematics and mathematical learning in these processes. In this study, we analyzed students' attitudes on mathematics and mathematical learning when they participated the problem-centered learning program. We found the change of students' attitudes to mathematics via problem-centered learning.

Teachers' attitudes and beliefs are related to teaching practices and are dependent upon their teaching domain. The present study compares conceptual models of creative student oriented teaching practices of mathematics teachers in two OECD countries, South Korea and Turkey to provide an insight for teacher educators and policy makers. Teaching and Learning International Survey 2008 (TALIS 2008) data are used to test the fit of a path analysis model with a subsample of l337 middle school mathematics teachers ($N_{Korea}$ = 562 vs. $N_{Turkey}$ = 775). The study showed that Turkish teachers were younger and less experienced, whereas Korean teachers were better educated. Despite the statistical differences in attitudes, beliefs and practices between countries, it was found that the teaching practices of mathematics teachers in both countries were more complex than to be explained only through attitudes and beliefs.

This is the study on a teaching method for improving problem-solving ability in mathematics. If this method is performed step by step in solving problems, learners can approach problems in a variety of ways. This step-by-step teaching method will create some changes among learners. The purpose of this experiment was to determine what effects resulted from this method, especially which effects arose in the affective areas of learning math. For the experiment, learning materials were divided into 73 parts. And the subjects, who are low-leveled and have negative attitudes towards mathematics, were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to this method for four months (treatment group), and the other group(control group) was not. According to the result, though there were few changes, the treatment group came to be more interested in math than before and also negative attitudes towards math were reduced gradually, as compared with the control group. In this study, three factors were investigated: interest in math, attitudes toward math, and learning -achievement in math. Significant changes were found in two factors: interest in math and learning-achievement in math. No significant changes were found in the area of attitudes towards math. In conclusion, if this method is adopted and performed regularly, it is likely that the problem-solving skills will be improved and the negative attitudes towards math will be reduced.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the influences of constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes on early childhood teachers' mathematics teaching efficacy. This study also examined the mediating effect of eco-friendly attitudes on the relationship between the other two variables. Methods: A total of 399 teachers teaching 3,4 and 5-year-olds in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon participated in this study. The data were analyzed using the SPSS Win 21.0 program and the Sobel test. Results: First, mathematical teaching efficacy of early childhood teachers was significantly correlated with constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes. Second, with teacher's career as the control variable, constructivist educational beliefs have more influence in mathematical teaching efficacy than the other variable. Third, eco-friendly teaching attitude partially mediated between the other two variables. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study imply that constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes are important factors on mathematics teaching efficacy. It is expected that it will be used as basic data for various programs that increase constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes.

The purpose of this study was to examine (1) if sociocultural factors that are known to influence gender gap in mathematics achievement are gender equitable for Singaporean eighth grade students, (2) if there is a higher level of gender equitability in students' attitudes towards mathematics and (3) how sociocultural factors influence mathematics achievement for Singaporean eighth grade students. This study is based on 5,923 Singaporean eighth grade students who participated in TIMSS 2011 assessment. The study found that there were no statistically significant gender differences in 'parental involvement in education' and 'teacher efficacy.' There were no statistically significant gender differences in students' attitudes of 'like learning mathematics,' and 'value learning mathematics'. A significant gender difference was identified for the attitude of 'confident with mathematics.' The boys displayed a higher level of confidence in mathematics than the girls consistent with other study findings for Asian students. The degree of effect from 'parental involvement in education,' 'teacher efficacy,' and 'confident with mathematics' on mathematics achievement are found to be stronger for girls than boys. The finding implies that girls' mathematics achievement can benefit from having more positive encouragement and involvement of parents and teachers and strengthening confidence in mathematics.

본 연구는 고등학교 학생의 수학에 대한 가치 인식 및 흥미를 증진시키는 방안을 모색하는데 일환을 두고 수행되었다. 이와 같은 교육적 목적을 달성하기 위해서는 단편적 교과 지식의 학습 보다는 융합적인 접근을 통해 학생들이 자신의 지식을 적용할 기회가 제공되어야 한다는 주장에 따라 사회와 수학을 융합한 프로그램을 개발하고 그 적용 효과를 파악하고자 하였다. 효과성 검증을 위한 데이터 수집은 일반계 고등학교 학생들을 대상으로 사회 수학 프로그램 적용에 따른 사전 사후 설문을 통해서 이루어졌다. 사회 수학 프로그램은 실생활에서 나타나는 사회적 현상을 수학적 관점에서 문제를 해결하고자 하는 시도로서, 적용 결과 학생들은 수학 학습 및 사회 학습에 대한 태도, 수학 학습 및 사회 학습 가치 인식에 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether statistics and statistical education of intensive courses at the teachers college can improve elementary pre-service teacher' statistical attitudes. Findings on this study are as follows: First, there was meaningful difference in the elementary pre-service teacher' attitudes with significant level of 0.05. This proved that statistics and statistical education of intensive courses at the teachers college was effective on improving elementary pre-service teacher' attitudes. Second, there was meaningful difference in the pre-service math teacher' conception in the 2009 reformed curriculum for elementary mathematics.

The purpose of this study was to improve academic achievement and mathematics learning attitudes in the formative assessment using descriptive problems as an effective teaching method. In this paper we set the following research questions. First, how would you improve students' academic achievement utilizing descriptive evaluation? Second, how would improve students' mathematics learning attitudes utilizing descriptive evaluation? Third, what was the reaction utilizing the descriptive method to evaluate? The result of this study could be seen as follows. The experimental group than the control group on academic achievement shows a significant improvement. Second, the experimental group compared to the control group in mathematics learning attitude changes could be helpful and appreciated. Third, experimental group than in the control group indicates significance could be seen in the reaction.

본 연구에서는 2009 개정 수학과 교육과정에 따른 6학년 수학교과서의 도형 영역을 분석하여 RME에 기반한 가상조작도구 콘텐츠를 개발하고, 이를 초등학교 6학년 학생들을 대상으로 적용하여 공간감각 및 수학적 태도에 미치는 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 초등학교 6학년 도형 영역에서 가상조작도구를 활용한 RME기반 수학 학습이 일반적인 수학 학습보다 공간감각 향상에 유의미한 효과를 보였다. 이는 평면적인 학습 환경에서 벗어나 RME 기반 3차원 가상조작 콘텐츠를 활용한 수업이 교육적으로 의미가 있으며 학생들의 공간감각을 기르는데 효과적인 방안임을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 초등학교 6학년 도형 영역에서 가상조작도구를 활용한 RME기반 수학 학습을 적용한 실험집단이 비교집단보다 학생들의 수학적 태도에서 유의미한 효과를 보였다. 특히 수학적 태도의 3가지 하위 요소인 수학교과에 대한 자아개념과 교과에 대한 태도, 교과에 대한 학습습관에서 모두 실험집단이 비교집단에 비해 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 이는 가상조작도구를 활용한 RME기반 수학학습이 자기주도적인 학습 습관을 길러주고 수업에 임하는 학습 태도 개선에 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되며 모둠 내에서 서로 협력하고 의사소통하는 모습도 발견할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 초등학교 6학년 '직육면체의 겉넓이와 부피'와 '원기둥의 겉넓이와 부피' 단원을 중심으로 스토리텔링 학습 자료를 개발하고 이를 수업에 적용하여 효과성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 6학년 1개 학급을 실험집단으로 선정하여 상호작용을 통하여 스토리텔링 학습 자료를 개발하였으며, 동질집단인 비교집단을 선정하여 학업성취도 검사와 수학적 태도 검사지를 사용하여 두 집단에 사전 사후 검사를 실시하였다. 또한 수학적 태도의 구체적 실태를 알아보기 위해 수업 장면에서의 학생 발화 및 행동 관찰 분석, 학생의 학습장 및 학습지 기록 분석, 학생 면담을 통하여 학생들의 수학에 대한 태도를 분석하였다. 연구결과 학업성취도와 수학적 태도 모두 실험집단에서는 통계적으로 유의수준 5%에서 유의미한 차이를 보였으며 수학학습 활동에서도 적극적인 참여를 통하여 흥미와 자신감이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 스토리텔링 수업의 효과를 높이기 위해서는 상호작용을 촉진할 수 있는 다양한 형식의 학습자료 개발 및 스토리텔링 교수 학습 방법에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어져야 하겠다.
