This study examined how 132 teachers of different grade levels incorporate the key competencies identified by Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation into their mathematics teaching and how they perceive of its full potential of the competency-based learning and teaching in mathematics classroom. Survey and semi-structured interview methods were used to collect data for the study. It was found that in their instruction teachers emphasized competencies such as problem-solving, literacy, creativity, communication and information-processing skills in order. Inter-personal skills, self-management, citizenship, global understanding and career-development appeared to be challenging competencies for teachers to reflect in their instruction with the reasons such as no direct connections to mathematics and insufficient instruction. Findings of the study suggest that various instructional methods, development and dissemination of related curricula materials, change of evaluation method, and change teachers' perceptions may be needed for incorporating KICE's key competencies in K-12 mathematics education.

With deepening globalization, various problems happening all over the world have not been limited to a country any more, but have had an influence over neighboring countries and international community. To deal with these problems international cooperation is getting important. Thus, over the existing individual- and state-centered thought, the alternative education is required to teach how to make a sustainable society and what to do for living together. In particular, current students are asked to be equipped with proper knowledge and attitude since they are to live as a global citizen beyond the Korean citizen in globalized era. This study analyzes the status of development education in other countries and in Korea, and it also suggests the use of terminology, approach to teaching, educational contents, and last but not least how to link the regular school curriculum in elementary, middle, high school.

This study purposed to discuss and suggest how to apply the internationally circulated standard Korean language curriculum to the fields of education. For this purpose, principles of the curriculum development that use reference of criterions like setting the education goals and stages of the Korean as second foreign language at the Korean foreign secondary school with the cases were reviewed. Studies about the curriculums of Korean language as an unit of state were began at 2010 and being continued in 2017. These researches pointed out a standard of the Korean language education, which influenced the development of curriculums, evaluations, and textbooks. Korean language teachers need lots of informations how to adjust the curriculums because they recognize that the curriculum as a reference of criteria is very difficult to be utilized. Roles of the reference of criteria that were extracted from the review on the curriculum development of the Korean as a second foreign language are providing a content basis for setting the goals of the curriculum and setting the stages connected with the operation of semesters. After the macroscopic development, plans for the phase of a syllabus run along. At this stage, sources of the items of education should be offered and elaboration of the education contents may design the syllabus. Finally, through a series of process, programs for Korean language education and textbook will be completed. Through this whole process, standard curriculum provides orientation and guidelines for the process of the development.

This study implemented a comparative analysis of the international mathematics curriculum on time learning. It aimed the improvement of challenges students facing when they learn time. As a preliminary step, I reviewed the previous literature on teaching and learning of time, and based on this, I drew five issues that require to be considered for better time learning. The coverage of time contents and the learning periods of respective time contents were compared across the mathematics curriculum of Korea, Japan, Australia, the United States, and Finland. The textbook cases of those countries were analyzed with a special focus on the five issues. The results showed that the Korean curriculum assigned time learning contents compressively during short periods compared to other countries. responded to the issues on teaching and learning of time, several improvement ideas were deduced from textbook cases of other countries. Implications for the curriculum reform were discussed underlying the results.

우리나라에서 천문올림피아드의 시작은 천문학에 대한 청소년들의 관심 제고 및 대중화 노력의 일환으로 한국천문학회 산하에 설치된 한국천문올림피아드위원회가 2001년 제 1회 천문올림피아드대회를 개최하면서부터이다. 이와 함께 2002년 제 7회 국제천문올림피아드(IAO)에 한국대표로 3명의 고등학생들을 공식적으로 처음 참가시키게 되었다. 그 후 정부가 재정지원과 더불어 고등학교와 대학 입시에서 과학올림피아드 입상자에게 가산점을 주는 정책을 시행하게 되면서, 2007년에 천문올림피아드 국내대회 응시자가 1400명을 넘어서는 한편, 국제대회(IAO)에서는 2007년과 2008년 연이어 우리 대표학생들이 종합성적 1위를 달성하는 등 천문올림피아드의 양적, 질적 발전이 있어왔다. 그러나 최근 들어 입시의 과열과 맞물려 올림피아드 준비학원의 확산 등 사교육을 유발시킨다는 비판에 직면하면서 2010년에는 천문을 포함한 모든 국내 과학올림피아드대회에서 지필시험이 폐지되는 등 대대적 개편의 과정을 겪고 있는 중이다. 국제대회 역시 2005년에 아시아-태평양 천문올림피아드(APAO)가 창설되고, 2007년에는 동유럽 국가들이 주축이 된 IAO에 대항하여 아시아 국가들이 주동이된 국제 천문 및 천체물리 올림피아드(IOAA)가 새로 생겨나는 등 다양화되고 있다. 한편 우리나라는 2009년 전남 담양에서 제 5회 APAO를 개최하고, 2012년에는 제 17회 IAO의 한국 첫 개최를 앞두고 그 어느 때보다 천문학계를 포함한 우리 사회 각계각층의 전반적 관심과 지원을 필요로 하고 있다. 이에 국내외적으로 천문올림피아드가 직면하고 있는 상황 및 문제들에 대한 전반적 고찰 및, 설문조사로 나타난 천문올림피아드 참가 중고등학생들의 현황을 통해 천문올림피아드가 앞으로 나아가야 할 방향에 대해 전망해보고자 한다.
