Students' learning processes and mathematical levels should be correctly diagnosed in many different methods of assessment to help students learn mathematics. The study developed the model for the process-based assessment while using manipulatives in the middle school in order to improve problem solving, reasoning and communication which are emphasized in 2009 reformed curriculum as the areas of mathematical process. Identifying the principles of assessment, we created the assessment model for each area and carried out a preliminary study. Based on this, we revised the representative items and the observation checklist and then conducted a main study. Through the results of assessment, we found that students' thinking processes were well presented in scoring rubric for their responses on each item. It meant that the purpose of the assessment as a criterion-referenced test was achieved.

우리나라의 과학 교육은 원리에 대한 정확한 이해 없이 암기 위주의 지식만을 강조하였기 때문에, 학생들의 과학에 대한 관심도는 점점 떨어지고 학년이 높아갈수록 과학은 어렵고 딱딱한 과목이라는 생각을 흔히 하게 된다. 이러한 현실을 반영하여 과학교구는 단순 암기 위주의 지식을 전달하는 것이 아니라 학생 스스로 과학의 높은 수준까지도 무리 없이 학습하기 위해 필요한 관찰력, 이해력, 분석 능력을 기르게 해 준다.(중략)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of observing material on the phase change of moon considering the orbits of earth and moon for elementary school students. For this study, the material which shows the orbit of moon tilted at $5^{\circ}$ with the orbit of earth is developed. 110 6th grade students in an elementary school are sampled. They are divided into the experimental group and the control group. The lessons using the material developed in this study are implemented to the experimental group, and the lessons using the material proposed in ordinary textbook are implemented to the control group. The pre, post, delayed concept tests on the phase change of moon are administered to the students of the experimental group and the control group, and semi-structured interviews are conducted for each concept level. According to students' responses, the concept levels are divided into 'Phase recognition', 'Space viewpoint', 'Earth viewpoint', and 'No recognition'. The experimental group and the control group are homogeneous in the pre-test. The result of this study shows that the experimental group gains significantly more scores than the control group in the post and delayed tests. Also, in the post and delayed tests, more students of the experimental group are in the highest level 'Phase recognition' than the control group. Finally, students of the experimental group who were in the 'Phase recognition' and 'Space viewpoint' explain more scientifically than the students of the control group. Therefore the results of this study show that the observing material on the phase change of moon considering the orbits of earth and moon is effective.

The purpose of this study is to present a case of the development and application of a one-time special lecture program that requires the use of computers in frontline elementary and secondary schools. For this purpose, the researcher developed an Arduino-based special lecture program that works as a teaching tool to help with the functions of a student PC with a Raspberry Pi. This special lecture program was applied at three elementary and middle schools near K-University, and then the program was evaluated. The results of this study are as follows. First, the researcher developed a teaching aid for PC functions to be used in special lectures. Second, teaching and learning materials for visiting special lecture education programs using Arduino were developed. Third, in the special lecture, a teaching-learning method was used to guide a small number of students individually. Fourth, the special lecture program resulted in high satisfaction. The results of this study can be a useful reference for teachers who plan one-time special lecture programs requiring computers or for those who want to apply physical computing-related devices in an educational field.

The study was to develop the instruments including instructional materials and test items for enhancing spatial ability. A mixed methodology was chosen to achieve the purpose of the study. To find students' achievement, 5 units of instructional materials were developed through the qualitative method and test items were tested through the quantitative method with 152 of the 8th-graders. The strategies to develop the instructional materials were: firstly to focus on mathematics properties for developing spacial ability; secondly, to allow students to follow hierarchical procedure o[ mathematical properties from 2-d to 3-d; thirdly, to recognize what the manipulative can do and can not; and fourthly, to guide students tn develop the process oriented thought, not the result oriented thought. For the test, 25 items were analyzed to assess students' achievement using validity, difficulty, and discriminator.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the research trend of robot education for young children and elementary students as a basic study for the development of hands-on robot program for young children. Trends by year, research contents, and effectiveness of 155 dissertations and journal papers from 2006 to May 2016 related to robot education for young children and elementary students were analyzed. The results were as follows. In the research subject, research was conducted in the order of integrated education, attitudes and awareness research, and response research for young children and programming education, design development research, and integrated education for elementary students. In the research method, observational research and development research were the most common in young children and elementary students, respectively. In the effectiveness validation, research on social and emotional interaction and research on creativity were the most common in young children and elementary students, respectively. Based on the results of this study, the analysis provided basic data for the development of programs for young children's hands-on robot activities and suggested the direction and implications of robot education in connection with SW education of young children and elementary students.

In this study, I investigated prospective mathematics teachers' perceptions of activities using Wax-paper, a hands-on material (manipulatives), and GeoGebra, a technological tool, in teaching quadratic curves. Twenty prospective mathematics teachers in the Mathematics Education Department of a local university participated in a survey on their perception of the use of hands-on materials and technological tools in teaching quadratic curves. According to the results of this study, prospective mathematics teachers generally preferred the use of technological tools for learning and teaching quadratic curves. Additionally, mathematics teachers thought that the tool helped students develop intuitive thinking through visualizing quadratic curves, enabling the exploration of various mathematical properties, assisting the comprehension of various concepts, and increasing students' interest levels. However, they were concerned about the immature use of technological tools by students or teachers, and recognized that the advantages and disadvantages of using hands-on material and technological tools were complementary. Based on these findings, it is suggested that hands-on material and technological tools should be used complementally in mathematics classes, and the development and dissemination of class materials that are not affected by students' or teachers' ability to use technological tools is important.
