Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority(ACARA) was founded by Australian federal government in 2009. Leading under ACARA, national education curriculum development was propelled. Also from 2014 they gradually extended enforcement of new curriculum by a Reminder about new syllabus implementation (2013.01.29.). The research result of Australia's curriculum, and textbook shows that students repeat, and advance the same contents under spiral curriculum as they move to higher grade. They actively use digital technology, and also puts emphasis on practical context such as Money & financial mathematics. On the level of difficulty, or quantity aspect, Korea handles relatively advanced contents of 'number and operation' or 'Letters and Algebraic Expressions' domain than Australia. However on statistics domain, Australia not only puts more focus on practical stats than Korea, but also concerns as much on both various and qualitative terms Australia doesn't deal with formal concept of 'function'. However, they learn the wide concept of function by handling various graphs. This shows Australia has a point of similarity, and also difference to Korea on various angles.

This study was composed of series of guidance contents in the sub-field of spatial sense from the 7th curriculum according to the series theory by the level by Gagne & Briggs. As for the guidance contents in this field, this study discovered that it had ‘experiencing the various space senses’,‘operating it mentally (internalization)’, and ‘utilizing and expressing the space sense mathematically’ in order largely. The contents of series constitution by the subject and by the stage, a result of this research, will be helpful to the establishment of achievement standard and valuation standard by the stage.

Teacher preparation programs are responsible for preparing teachers to be able to perform their work with professional knowledge and skills. What opportunities to learn such knowledge and skills the programs intentionally develop for prospective teachers can be discerned by looking at the curriculum of teacher education. The purpose of this study is to find implications for the curriculum in elementary teacher education in South Korea, especially as that pertains to opportunities to learn teaching mathematics. This paper compares the curricula of 21 teacher preparation programs for elementary teachers in South Korea and in the United States. It finds that the programs in both countries emphasize teacher preparation to teach subject matter and to help elementary students improve their academic knowledge. The overall structures of the curriculums outlined in the programs of both countries are relatively comparable. In terms of the opportunities to learn teaching mathematics, however, they are quite different in what authentic contents they offer. This paper discusses the need for more emphasis on mathematical knowledge for teaching.

The purpose of this study is to identify useful factors for the curriculum development of the archival program in Korea by analyzing archival graduate programs of the Schools of Library and Information Science in English-speaking Canada. Name and history of the schools, degrees, credits, required and elective courses, practice, research, md faculty of archival prgrams, and the official guidelines of ACA and SAA are compared by analyzing web sites and literature review. It is found that Canadian LIS schools offer independent archival programs with a separate MAS degree or a specialization. University of British Columbia, the first LIS school that has a separate MAS degree program, provides a systematically developed curriculum. It also reveals that Canadian archival programs are based on their own principle·md SAA guidelines because ACA guidelines are out of date. Based upon the analysis of the archival programs in Canada, the current situations of the archival graduate programs in Korea are compared and several suggestions ale made f3r the direction of successful archival education in Korea in the end.

Since mathematics textbooks for 6th graders based on the 2009 revised national curriculum were applied to the site, there has been a note pointing out that the unit of 'ratio and rate' causes some learning difficulties. This implies the necessity of search for desirable methods of organizing the unit of ratio and rate in mathematics textbooks. This study analyzed and compared Korean and foreign mathematics textbooks on ratio and rate longitudinally and horizontally, respectively. For longitudinal analysis, we selected the mathematics textbooks according to the national curriculum since the 5th one. For horizontal analysis, we took the mathematics textbooks of Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Finland. In each textbook, the contents and the order in relation to ratio and rate, the definitions of terminology, and the methods for introducing related concepts are set as the analysis framework. The results of analysis revealed many characteristics and the differences in ways of dealing contents about ratio and rate. Based on these results, we suggested some implications for writing the unit of ratio and rate in elementary mathematics textbooks.

This study is an analysis study on the number and operation area of middle school mathematics curriculum. This study is a literature analysis study that analyzes the historical transition process of number and operation area, and suggests the restructuring direction of mathematics learning contents for numbers and operation areas based on the results. In order to achieve this research purpose, the contents of the number and operation areas suggested from the 1st middle school mathematics curriculum to the 2015 revised middle school mathematics curriculum were considered. In addition, in this study, analysis of the mathematical learning contents of number and operation area was conducted. The details of the study are as follows. First, it was decided as a tertiary mathematics curriculum as a criterion for analysis. Second, a basic analysis framework was developed by subdividing the content of mathematics learning into content elements and terminology elements. Third, on the basis of the developed analysis framework, mathematics learning contents that are the core issues of number and operation area were extracted. Fourth, the extracted mathematics learning contents were compared with foreign curriculum. Finally, based on the analysis results, the direction of restructuring for the number and operation area of middle school was suggested. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for the development of a new curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to examine the state of problem solving in Korean elementary mathematics. To do this, we considered the meaning of problem and problem solving in mathematics education, and analyzed the mathematics curricula in the longitudinal-latitudinal dimensions respectively. The longitudinal one consists in examining and comparing the all-time Korean elementary mathematics curricula. Meanwhile the latitudinal one consists in examining and comparing the elementary mathematics curricula of Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, and France. As a result of analysis, we selected ten sieves for analysing Korean elementary mathematics textbooks according to the 7th mathematics curriculum. By the analysis, we conclude that we teach problem solving quite positively in school mathematics relative to another countries, in particular we have to reconsider some issues including dealing problem solving as a independent content not a process integrated in other contents.

The 2022 revised curriculum emphasized basic literacy, which consists of language, numeracy, and digital literacy. This digital literacy is being presented in the curriculum as a goal for cultivating digital literacy in various countries. Therefore, this study looked at the curriculum of countries with high digital literacy among students. And PISA 2018 data analysis was conducted on ICT elements of students by country. Specifically, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were performed for each ICT element for country-by-country comparison. As a result, when organizing the curriculum related to digital literacy, it is necessary to organize it earlier than the present time. In addition, it was found that it was necessary to consider the contents to increase the usability in school.

In general, early childhood mathematics education is conducted and operated in early childhood education curriculum. Moreover, Korean early childhood education is approached and conducted by an U.S. NCTM. So, it is meaningful to compare American and Korean early childhood mathematics education curriculum. Therefore, I has studied how those points of views of the mathematics education are instituted in the curriculums respectively. The main purpose of this study is to investigate principles of NCTM(National Council of Teacher of Mathematics): content standards and process standards. I hope the finding of this study would reflect to the 7th Korean early childhood mathematics education including learning and curriculum constitution.
