This article is to provide information on school contexts for learning and instruction of mathematics based on the results and data of TIMSS 1999. It is organized around two major topics: teacher and students achievement, instruction and students achievement In this article the following summarizes the major findings. First, about $50\%$ of Korean eight-grade students were taught mathematics by teachers in their 30s, and this was higher than the international average. Most of teachers in Korea had certification of teachers majors in mathematics. Korean teachers reported relatively low confidence to teach mathematics compared to other counties. And Korean students taught by teachers who believes they were well prepared attained low achievement scores in contrast to international result. Second, korean teachers spent about $50\%$ of their formally scheduled school time teaching their subject, but is was below the international average. They spent much more time on administrative duties and other related activities than other countries. Korean students reported that most of their class time were spent lecture style presentations by teacher. Also they reported that teachers showed them how to do mathematics. The percentages of Korean students were placed on the low level of index of emphasis on mathematics reasoning and problem-solving. The students taught by teachers who emphasized reasoning and problem-solving showed low achievement scores in contrast with result of the previous literatures. Korean teachers didn't seem to emphasize homework and assessments. Internationally, teachers frequently used teacher-made objective tests and projects or practical exercises, but Korean teachers die less in most of categories. Based on the above findings, this article presents implications about teacher education, reduction of administrative working in teachers tasks, using everyday life topics, as learning materials, specialization instruction methods for each subject matter. This article is a kind of descriptive and factual in nature, but some attempt has been made to contextualize these results focused on teachers and instruction.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effects of an nursing process education program based flipped learning and design thinking for undergraduate nursing students. Methods: The study employed a single-group pre-post design. A total of 41 nursing students were recruited from sophomore nursing students. Learning self-efficacy, problem-solving ability, empathy, and learning satisfaction were analyzed. Results: There were statistically significant differences in learning self-efficacy (t=-2.11, p=.041), problem-solving ability (t=-2.11, p=.042), and learning satisfaction (t=-6.40, p<.001). In empathy, but among the sub-categories, perspective-taking increased significantly from 24.56 to 25.41 (t=-2.11, p=.041). Conclusion: It is suggested to develop educational programs for nursing students applying various teaching and learning methods.

This study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of PBL application at Technical and Vocational Education and Training. PBL was applied to the course of the A University's global TVET and these PBL classes were organized and operated for 8 weeks. After that, written interviews and surveys were conducted and the results were analyzed. Learners responded positively to their satisfaction and engagement to the PBL experience and also presented that they felt that communication skills and problem-solving skills were cultivated through self-directed learning process and team activities. Through the above research results, the precedence of content analysis and learner analysis, related support for the spread of PBL application in TVET, and support to strengthen teaching competency on PBL at TVET were proposed.

This study examined a possibility of a new learning method using a robot to improve elementary school students' creativity and problem solving ability. It researched and analyzed school teachers' tendency about robot education and based on this it developed curriculum and teaching materials to teach and evaluate the education after school. According to the findings, a robot is found to have a possibility of a creative learning method.

The purpose of this study is to increase students' interest in the subject of English, which has been led by some mannerism, and to improve the students' basic scholastic ability and self-controlled problem solving, through adopting an individualized Web Based Instruction(WBI) as a concrete and practical learning method. In order to achieve this, an individualized Web Based Instruction(WBI) homepage has been developed to be applied experimentally to the field of middle school education for 8 months, and a research has been made on its effects on the students' interest in English along with the improvement of English. Two groups which showed almost the same interest were selected as a controlled group and an experimental one. Individualized Web Based Instruction was applied to the experimental group, while the controlled group was not instructed according to student ability. The controlled group was taught using CD added with the textbook. As a result of T-test, the students in the experimental group showed more improvement in communicative competence than those in the controlled group.

There are serious difficulties with management of general mathematics education courses because of enormous gap between freshman's ability of mathematics and lack of problem solving ability. In this paper, we try to find methods so we can reduce the difficulties. By utilizing students survey, management of Mathematics Cafe and setting example classes for Calculus and Linear Algebra we suggest effective management strategies and teaching-learning methods.

The spreadsheet Microsoft Excel is the most widely used mathematical tool in today's workplace. Moreover, it is also an outstanding means for developing a surprisingly wide range of creative and innovative educational uses within such areas as mathematical modeling, visualization, and instruction. The spreadsheet's format provides us with a tool that closely parallels the way in which we naturally carry out problem solving, while the spreadsheet creation process itself illuminates the underlying mathematical concepts. In addition, the spreadsheet's visual layout allows us to introduce a broad variety of challenging and interesting topics, and to design creative demonstrations through eye-catching animated graphics. The material presented comes from actual classroom mathematics teaching experience in both industrially advanced and developing nations. A series of highly visual interactive illustrations from mathematics, the natural and social sciences, computing, engineering, and the arts provide a number of usable examples. The material discussed is applicable at diverse levels, ranging from schools and universities through adult education and in-service teacher development programs.

급속도로 발전하고 있는 정보화 사회는 당면한 문제를 창의적인 방법으로 해결하는 능력을 갖춘 인재를 필요로 하고 있다. 허나 응용 소프트웨어 활용에 치우친 정보교육은 획일화된 컴퓨터 활용 능력을 갖추게 하고 있으며, 사고의 단순화를 초래하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 초등학생 수준에서 일상생활의 문제를 컴퓨터 과학 원리와 접목시켜 학생들의 창의적 문제해결력을 신장시키기에 적합한 교재를 개발하고, 교재를 활용한 프로그램 운영을 통해 창의적인 인재를 양성하는데 기여하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to survey and analyze conception on creativity carried out from elementary school teachers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do area. As results, first, most of teachers replied divergent thinking, creative problem solving, and new creation as general creativity and mathematical creativity. Secondly, they showed that thinking process would be related to transfer and cognition in terms of mathematical creativity factors. Lastly, there are significant differences among groups according to gender, teaching career, and age, even though most teachers expressed sympathy for need of creativity education in mathematics education.
