제 7 차 수학과 교육 과정에서 이산수학이 수학과 선택과목으로 채택이 되었음에도 불구하고, 교사와 학생의 이산수학에 대한 인식이 부족하고 또한 교수-학습법에 대한 기준과 표본이 제시되어 있지 않은 상황에서 현재 고등학교에서 이산수학을 선택하는 학교와 학생의 수는 미미한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 이산수학 교육의 상황 개선을 위한 고등학교 이산수학의 본연의 의미와 제 7 차 수학과 교육 과정에서의 이산수학 교육의 취지 및 목표 등을 고려하여 교육학적으로 보다 의미 있고 효과적인 교수-학습법을 제안하고자 한다.

In elementary school, didactical transposition is inevitable due to several reasons. In mathematics, addition and multiplication are taught as binary operations, subtraction and division are taught as unary operations. But in elementary school, we try to teach all the four operations as binary operations by didactical transposition. In 'Mastering' the concepts of the four operations, the way of concept introduction is dealt importantantly. So it is different from understanding the four operations. In this study, we analyzed the four operations of natural numbers and fractions from two perspectives: concept understanding (how to introduce concepts and how to choose an operation) and connection between the operations. As a result, following implications were obtained. In division of fractions, students attempted a connection with multiplication of fractions right away without choosing an operation, based on the situation. Also, to understand division of fractions itself, integrate division of fractions presented from the second semester of the fifth grade to the first semester of the sixth grade are needed. In addition, this result can be useful in the future textbook development.

The purpose of this study is to examine what aspects of mathematical activities in elementary school mathematics textbooks pre-service school teachers pay attention to in the process of didactic transposition. To do this, the third grade students of the College of Education were asked to analyze the activities of the elementary mathematics textbooks and then select a lesson activities as needed to modify or supplement the activities. As a result of the study, in the process of revising textbook activities for mathematics lessons, pre-service teachers pay attention to whether the textbook activities provide concrete activities, whether they induce student motivation, and whether there is overlap between classes activities. For the didactic transposition of textbook activities for mathematics lessons, pre-service teachers were able to comprehensively utilize relevant curriculum documents such as national curriculum and teachers' manual for checking the goals and achievement standards and lesson objectives.

수학사는 수학적 사실이나 수학자에 대한 연대기적 나열만을 의미하는 것은 아니다. 수학사에서는 수학적 개념들, 정리들, 연구 방법의 발생, 축적, 그리고 발전에 대한 폭넓은 견해를 접할 수 있다. 특히, 수학사에서 접할 수 있는 수학 문제해결의 다양한 방법은 수학 교수-학습 과정에서 교사의 올바른 교수학적 선택을 위한 중요한 기초 자료가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 그리스의 수학자 아르키메데스가 구의 부피를 구하기 위해 사용했던 공학적 문제해결 방법을 살펴보고, 공학적 방법의 활용에 관련된 수학적 기초를 살펴보고, 공학적 문제해결 방법을 중등학교 수학 영재교육에 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 모색할 것이다.

This study is on the teaching-learning of parameter concept in secondary school mathematics. In our school mathematics curriculum, parameter concept is explicitly presented at high school mathematics textbook. But student have difficulty in understanding parameter concept because this concept is implicitly used in the textbook from 7-grade mathematics. Moreover, it is true that mathematics teacher give a little attention to student's understanding of parameter con- cept. In this study, we analyzed concept definition of parameter and the extension of parameter on the basis of preceding research, our mathematical curriculum, mathematical dictionaries. After that, we concluded that parameter is explicitly called in t where x= f(t), y= g(t) and parameter is implicitly treated in the learning of relation between quantities in our mathematical curriculum. We pointed to the importance of parameter concept in the successful learning of school algebra. Specially, when the level of algebra is in the learning of relation between quantities, parameter is the key concept for understanding and representing of families of equations or functions. In mathematics class, students have opportunity to reflect that what the role of each variable(parameter, dependent variable, independent variable etc.) is, and where the information which determines it comes from. It is for mathematical communications as well as learning school algebra. Therefore, mathematics teacher's didactical attention is more needed to student have a good concept image of parameter before they learn explicitly its concept definition.

This study aimed to derive pedagogical implications by comparing and analyzing how the concept of pi is taught in 10 different elementary mathematics textbooks, which are scheduled to be applied from 2023. We developed a textbook analysis framework by previous studies on the concept of pi and the teaching of pi, and analyzed in terms of three instructional elements (i.e. inferring conceptsof pi, understanding properties of pi, and applying relationships). We derived the need to emphasize various contexts for estimation of pi, presentation of problem situations that provide motivation to actually measure diameters and circumferences, providing an opportunity to explore the properties of measurement, and an experience the flexibility of selecting an approximate value of pi. Based on the above conclusions and pedagogical implications through the research results., we suggested ways to teach the concept of pi in elementary mathematics and improvement points for developing textbooks focusing on the context of introduction of pi and the use of technological tools.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the responses of pre-service elementary school teachers to the task that require to apply mathematics knowledge for teaching and from this investigation to draw some conclusions about teacher education. To do the study, task was to develop teaching materials and devise lesson plan for introducing the concept of plain figure 'kite'. For gathering data, 77 pre-service elementary school teachers were selected from the University of Education located in G city. Several conclusions were drawn as follow: first, task for applying MKT is needed to check whether pre-service teachers can apply. Second, assessment is needed to check what kind of MKT do pre-service elementary school teachers have.

본 연구는 중학교 1학년을 대상으로 일차방정식의 풀이 과정에서 나타나는 오류를 분석하고 그래핑 계산기를 활용하여 오류의 교정 과정을 제시하였다. 오류의 유형을 개념적 이해 미흡 오류, 등식의 성질에 대한 오류, 이항에 대한 오류, 계산 착오로 인한 오류, 기호화에 의한 오류로 분류하였으며, 이 중에서 등식의 성질에 대한 오류와 개념적 이해 미흡으로 인한 오류를 많이 범하고 있었다. 학생들이 TI-92를 활용하여 일차방정식의 해를 구할 때, Home Mode에서 Solve 기능을 이용하여 단순히 결과만을 보는 것 보다 Symbolic Math Guide를 이용하여 풀이 과정을 선택하여 대수적 알고리즘을 형성하면서 해를 구하는 것을 선호하였다. 그리고 학생들의 정의적 및 기능적 측면을 고려해야 할 필요성을 느끼게 되었다.

This study is a discussion of the teaching and learning of discrete mathematics in school mathematics. In this study, we summarized the importance of discrete mathematics m school mathematics. And we examined instruction methods of discrete mathematics expressed in the 7th mathematics curriculum. On the basis of analysis for teaching cases in previous studies, we proposed four suggestions to organize discrete mathematics classroom. That is as follows. First, discrete mathematics needs to be introduced as a mathematical modeling of real-world problem. Second, algorithm learning in discrete mathematics have to be accomplished with computer experiments. Third, when we solve a problem with discrete data, we need to consider discrete property of given data. Forth, discrete mathematics class must be full of investigation and discussion among students. In each suggestion, we dealt with detailed examples including educational ideas in order to helping mathematics teacher orgainzing discrete mathematics classroom.
