The aim of this study is to compare mathematics curriculum among the United States, Singapore, England, Japan, Australia and Korea and offer suggestions to improve mathematics curriculum of Korea in the future. In order to attain these purposes, the analysis was conducted in many aspects including mathematics education system, mathematics courses, mathematics contents, assessment syllabus for university entrance examination and the construction principles of mathematics curriculum. In the light of the results of this study, our suggestions for improving mathematics curriculum of Korea are as follows: revising the contents of analysis, geometry, probability and statistics strands; organizing curriculum based on spiral construction principle; providing various opportunities to select mathematics courses according to students'career; reflecting the contents of their courses in university entrance examination.

This study aimed to analyze the shifts in the mathematics domains of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) since its inception in 1993, with the intent of identifying improvements for the future. The goal is to provide insights for exploring the direction of assessment in Korean high school mathematics education. To this end, we focused on the test system, content area, and behavioral area within the CSAT mathematics domains. Key findings include: first, the test structure influences the assessment factors and item types, in addition to the examination time and number of items. Second, by analyzing the content area, we established a correlation between the national curriculum and assessment area, and confirmed the importance of setting the assessment area. Third, the examination of the behavioral area tended to the item-type fixation, demonstrating the necessity of the ongoing modifications in evaluation item types. Building upon these findings, we discuss the direction of an evaluation that considers the evolving demands and shifts within mathematics education.

통계 수업에서는 실제 자료를 직접 다루는 활동이 있어야 하며 이것은 계산기 또는 컴퓨터가 있어야 한다. 계산기 기능만으로는 많은 양의 자료를 반복해서 다루는데 문제가 있다. 그렇다고 통계 응용프로그램을 사용하는 것은 통계의 원리와 과정을 배우는 것이 목적인 고등학교 통계 교육과정에 맞지 않다. 이러한 면에서 볼 때 Excel은 계산기적 기능과 통계적 기능을 모두 갖추고 있으며 또한 시중에 많이 보급된 장점도 있다. 통계문제를 처리할 때 Excel의 계산기 기능을 사용하여 교과서의 원리대로 계산한 후 Excel의 통계기능을 이용하여 검토해 봄으로써 향후 통계 응용프로그램을 다루는 기초를 쌓을 수 있다. 그러나 Excel은 적분기능이 없어 연속분포에서 적분이 필요한 경우는 MathView를 사용하였다. 제7차 고등학교 통계 교육과정의 내용을 Excel을 활용하여 지도하는 모델을 개발해 봄으로써 새 수학과 교과서 개발을 위한 기초연구를 제공하고자 한다.

The purposes of this study are that understand vocational high school student's scholastic ability, dream and conception about mathematics exactly and that we find a educational mathematics program suitable to vocational high school student. Through this improvement of the curriculum in vocational high school, we will find the way that increase efficiency.

In this paper, to provide an idea for the 2022 revised mathematics curriculum by restructuring the content of the 2015 mathematics curriculum, the content elements of recurring decimals of textbooks, which showed differences in the curriculum of Korea and Japan, were analyzed. As a result of this study, in Korea, before the introduction of the concept of irrational numbers, repeating decimals were defined in the second year of middle school, and the relationship between repeating decimals and rational numbers was dealt with. In Japan, after studying irrational numbers in the third year of middle school, the terminology of repeating decimals is briefly dealt with. Then, when learning the concept of limit in the high school <Mathematics III> subject, the relationship between rational numbers and repeating decimals is dealt with. Based on the results of the study, in relation to the optimization of the amount of learning in the 2022 curriculum revision, implications for the introduction period of the circular decimal number, alternatives to the level of its content, and the teaching and learning methods were proposed.

The education sector is undergoing significant changes due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the advancement of artificial intelligence. Particularly, the importance of education based on artificial intelligence is being emphasized. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to develop a statistics education program using deep learning prediction in high school mathematics and to examine the impact of such statistically problem-solvingcentered statistics education programs on high school students' statistical literacy and computational thinking. To achieve this goal, a statistics education program using deep learning prediction applicable to high school mathematics was developed. The analysis revealed that students' understanding of context improved through experiencing how data was generated and collected. Additionally, they enhanced their comprehension of data variability while exploring and analyzing various datasets. Moreover, they demonstrated the ability to critically analyze data during the process of validating its reliability. In order to analyze the impact of the statistics education program on high school students' computational thinking, a paired sample t-test was conducted, confirming a statistically significant difference in computational thinking between before and after classes (t=-11.657, p<0.001).

The purpose of the study was to investigate the attitudes towards mathematics of high school students by comparing students of a general public school and a foreign language high school. The researchers were interested in how the two groups, middle or middle lower achievers and high achievers, showed their attitudes toward mathematics and where their attitudes were derived from. For the investigation, the researchers surveyed 121 students of general public high school and 64 students of a foreign language high school. Reliability, mean difference with t-test and frequency were analyzed. The results showed that many students from both groups had negative attitudes toward mathematics. However, the causes of the attitudes were different between the two groups. This implies that we need to reform the instructional methods and curricula of mathematics cources.

In Korea, mathematics education of 11-12 grade students has been taken according to the 7th national mathematics curriculum, which was renovated by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development announcement in 1997. The education of probability and statistics has been carried out as a part of this curriculum. We analyze mathematics textbooks-Practical mathematics and Mathematics I- and compare the 7th national mathematics curriculum with the 6th national mathematics curriculum.

현재 시행되고 있는 6차 교육과정이나 2002년도부터 새로이 시행되는 고등학교 7차 교육과정에서는 수열의 극한을 직관적으로 지도하도록 하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 연구들을 살펴보면, 수열의 극한에 관한 학생들의 인지 장애의 원인 중 하나가 이러한 직관적인 이해로부터 기인한다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 다른 나라에서 수열의 극한을 다루는 법을 살펴보고, 그것을 바탕으로 수열의 극한 개념을 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.
