알고리즘이란 ‘유한한 단계를 거쳐 일련의 문제를 해결하기 위한 명확하고 체계적인 방법’ 으로써 수량에 관련된 문제를 보다 신속 ${\cdot}$ 정확하게 처리하기 위하여 역사적으로 다양한 알고리즘이 존재 ${\cdot}$ 변천해 왔다. 계산기가 발명되기 전까지는 지필 알고리즘이 매우 강조되어 왔으나 계산기가 상용화되면서 지필알고리즘에 대한 효용성과 활용도가 점차 줄어들고 있으나 지필 알고리즘은 수학학습의 기초 ${\cdot}$ 기본인 동시에 뼈대로써 그 가치와 역할은 여전히 중요하다. 그러나 표준화된 지필 알고리즘에 대한 지나친 강조로 인해 학생들은 대수적 구조나 계산 원리를 바르게 이해하지 못한 채 반복 연습을 통해 익힌 표준 알고리즘을 기계적으로 적용하여 답을 구하는 경우가 많으며, 이로 인해 학생들은 수학학습에 대한 불안감과 기피현상이 보이고 있다. 또 인간의 창조적 사고활동의 최종적인 산물인 표준 알고리즘은 대안적인 알고리즘에 비해 효율성에서 앞서지만 학생들의 사고 수준에서는 그 원리를 이해하기 힘든 경우가 있을 것이다. 따라서 수학교육의 목적 중의 하나인 문제 해결력을 기르기 위해, 그리고 표준 알고리즘의 가치와 효율성을 인식시키고, 수학학습에 대한 불안감을 줄이기 위해 표준 알고리즘뿐만 아니라 대안적인 알고리즘을 병행하여 지도할 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics of students' problem solving processes based on their mathematical thinking styles and thus to provide implications for teachers regarding how to employ multiple representations. In order to analyze these characteristics, 202 university freshmen were recruited for a paper-and-pencil survey. The participants were divided into four groups on a mathematical-thinking-style basis. There were two students in each group with a total of eight students being interviewed. Results show that mathematical thinking styles are related to defining a mathematical concept, problem solving in relation to representation, and translating between mathematical representations. These results imply methods of utilizing multiple representations in learning and teaching mathematics by embodying Dienes' perceptual variability principle.

The Skeleton Tower problem is an example of a curriculum that integrates algebra and geometry. Finding the number of the cubes in the tower can be approached in more than one way, such as counting arithmetically, drawing geometric diagrams, enumerating various possibilities or rules, or using algebraic equations, which makes the tasks accessible to students with varied prior knowledge and experience. So, it will be a good topic which can be used in the elementary grades if we exclude the method of using algebraic equations. The purpose of this paper is to propose some points which can be considered with attention by gifted children education teachers by analyzing the 4th Skeleton Tower problem solutions made by 3rd and 4th graders in their selection test who applied for the education of gifted children in math at J University for the year of 2010.

The study aimed to investigate the characteristics of algebraic thinking of the mathematically gifted students and search for how to teach algebraic thinking. Research subjects in this study included 93 students who applied for a science gifted education center affiliated with a university in 2015 and previously experienced gifted education. Students' responses on an algebraic item of a creative thinking test in mathematics, which was given as screening process for admission were collected as data. A framework of algebraic thinking factors were extracted from literature review and utilized for data analysis. It was found that students showed difficulty in quantitative reasoning between two quantities and tendency to find solutions regarding equations as problem solving tools. In this process, students tended to concentrate variables on unknown place holders and to had difficulty understanding various meanings of variables. Some of students generated errors about algebraic concepts. In conclusions, it is recommended that functional thinking including such as generalizing and reasoning the relation among changing quantities is extended, procedural as well as structural aspects of algebraic expressions are emphasized, various situations to learn variables are given, and activities constructing variables on their own are strengthened for improving gifted students' learning and teaching algebra.

In this study, we presented a teaching-learning method that can apply process-focused assessment for mathematical creativity of problem solving process of the gifted student, By necessity of appropriate teaching-learning program development to the level and ability of students who belong to high school gifted classes and courses evaluation for students who participated in education programs for the gifted. In the construction implementation process of students utilizing a kind of teaching-learning software, GeoGebra. We analyzed process of a variety of creative constructing figures using interfaces of GeoGebra and algebraic calculation. Utilizing 'Construction Protocol' and 'Navigation Bar' of GeoGebra, We identified computer languages, construction order, run times used in construction process of individual student and found mathematical creativity of students in the process. Comparing this result with prerequisite learning degree of individual student, We verified that this teaching-learning method can apply at the high school gifted classes as well as institutes for the gifted education in the city office.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Descartes's point of view on the mathematical connection of algebra and geometry which help comprehend the traditional frame with a new perspective in order to access to unsolved problems and provide useful pedagogical implications in school mathematics. To achieve the goal, researchers have historically reviewed the fundamental principle and development method's feature of analytic geometry, which stands on the basis of mathematical connection between algebra and geometry. In addition we have considered the significance of geometric solving of equations in terms of analytic geometry by analyzing related preceding researches and modern trends of mathematics education curriculum. These efforts could allow us to have discussed on some opportunities to get insight about mathematical connection of algebra and geometry via geometric approaches for solving equations using the intersection of curves represented on coordinates plane. Furthermore, we could finally provide the method and its pedagogical implications for interpreting geometric approaches to cubic equations utilizing intersection of conic sections in the process of inquiring, solving and reflecting stages.

In this study, researchers have modernly reinterpreted geometric solving of cubic equations presented by an arabic mathematician, Omar Khayyam in medieval age, and have considered the pedagogical significance of geometric solving of the cubic equations using two conic sections in terms of analytic geometry. These efforts allow to analyze educational application of mathematics instruction and provide useful pedagogical implications in school mathematics such as 'connecting algebra-geometry', 'induction-generalization' and 'connecting analogous problems via analogy' for the geometric approaches of cubic equations: $x^3+4x=32$, $x^3+ax=b$, $x^3=4x+32$ and $x^3=ax+b$. It could be possible to reciprocally convert between algebraic representations of cubic equations and geometric representations of conic sections, while geometrically approaching the cubic equations from a perspective of connecting algebra and geometry. Also, it could be treated how to generalize solution of cubic equation containing variables from geometric solution in which coefficients and constant terms are given under a perspective of induction-generalization. Finally, it could enable to provide students with some opportunities to adapt similar solving procedures or methods into the newly-given cubic equation with a perspective of connecting analogous problems via analogy.

서로 다른 GIS 서버의 공간 데이터를 동일한 방법으로 접근하기 위한 개방형 GIS 에 관심이 커지고 있다. 서로 다른 서버간의 상호 운용성을 효과적으로 지원하기 위해서는 데이터제공자를 통한 공간 데이터 모델의 변환이 필수적이므로, 방대한 공간 데이터의 변환과 전송으로 인한 사용자 응답 시간의 지연 문제가 우선 해결되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 OGIS 데이터소비자에서 효과적인 버퍼 관리를 통해 사용자 응답 시간의 지연 문제를 해결한다. 이 논문에서 제시하는 버퍼 관리 전략은 전체 레이어에 대해서 통합적으로 메모리를 관리하고 각 레이어별로 공간 인덱스를 생성 관리함으로써 데이터 접근 속도를 개선하였다. 제안한 버퍼 관리 전략은 OGIS 데이터소비자인 Mapbase 컴포넌트를 통해 구현함으로써, 데이터 접근 속도의 개선을 입증하였다.
