본 연구를 수행하게된 동기는 1994년부터 미국에서 S.A.T.를 개정하고, 한국에서는 대학 수학 능력 시험 제도라는 새로운 제도가 도입되는 것에 있다. 대학 학업 적성 평가 제도로서 미국의 S.A.T. 제도에 대한 유효성이 많은 학자들에 의해서 연구되고 있다. 대학 수학 능력 시험과 S.A.T.는 각각 한국과 미국의 대학에서 학업 적성을 측정한다는 면에서 그 목적이 같다. 한국의 대학 수학 능력 시험의 유효성을 연구하기에는 아직 실시되지 않았으므로 너무 이르다고 본다. 대학 수학 능력 시험 제도 확립이 실험 평가에 근거하기 때문에 대학 수학 능력 시험 실험 평가와 S.A.T.를 비교 연구하는 것은 의미가 있다고 본다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한국의 대학 수학 능력 시험 실험 평가(수리)와 미국의 S.AT.(수학)와의 상관 관계를 연구한다. 본 연구의 조사 대상으로 선발된 집단으로서 광주시의 3개교 6학급의 고등학교 3학년 283명이 참가하였다. 본 논문에서 다음과 같은 문제가 연구되었다. 1. 7차 실험 평가(수리)와 S.A.T.(수학)의 평균 점수에 대한 남녀 차이의 통계학적 유의성 (statistical significance). 2. 7차 실험 평가(수리)와 S.A.T.(수학)의 평균 점수에 대한 자연계 인문계 차이의 통계학적 유의성 (statistical significance). 3. 한국의 대학 수학 능력 시험 실험 평가(수리)와 미국의 S.A.T.(수학)의 상관 관계.

In this paper we check over some problems in College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) Mathematics section and propose some methods to improve the CSAT Mathematics section. CSAT has been changed several times with the change of the school curriculum. A Mathematics amended curriculum will apply in 2009 and we have to reorganize the system of CSAT. We investigate the changes in school curriculum and system of CSAT. Also we make a comparative study of the range of possible questions of CSAT with those of SAT and foreign national entrance exam for college.

This study investigated the Chinese national university entrance examination (Gaokao) in mathematics administered in 2009 and 2010 to draw out some implications on the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) in mathematics of Korea. To evaluate the attainments of basic mathematical skills and multilateral abilities required for further studies in university, the Gaokao mathematics is set in two forms(Art/Science), based on the Chinese national mathematics curriculum. The types of items in the Gaokao mathematics are multiple-choice, single-answer, and write-out-answer. The mathematical abilities that the Gaokao mathematics evaluates are mathematical reasoning, operation, geometrical imagination, application, and creativity. As a result, some implications on the Korean CSAT are drawn out in terms of the level of difficulty, the types of items, the arrangements, and the scores of items.

The College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) is the Korean national university examination based on the national curriculum. The CSAT is a high-stakes test because of powerful social forces which the college admission system has in Korea. This examination has changed many times through not only the national curriculum revision but also various external factors including the normalization of public education, mitigating the burden of students, etc. This study analysis the changes of assessment contents of the Mathematics of the CSAT due to the national curriculum revision. Additionally, this study analysis the mathematics content domains of the college entrance examinations in some foreign countries. Based on the result of this analysis, this study will derive implications for improvement directions of the Mathematics of the CSAT.

Currently science and technology are changing so fast and college mathematics becomes more and more important. But the downturn of freshmen's scholastic performance has been intensified and this phenomenon leads to serious problems in managing college curriculums. During the recent years at a middle level engineering college, many freshmen had a lot of difficulties in their mathematics courses. In consequence, many of them had hard time to survive at their major curriculums. In this point of view, we analyse the situation of mathematical scholastic ability among engineering majored freshmen through the research on the actual state of mathematical background, mathematical scholastic ability test, college mathematics scores, and scholastic aptitude test scores. We study the relation between the mathematics score of scholastic aptitude test for the college entrance and mathematical scholastic ability of freshmen of a middle level engineering college. From this study we conclude that the essential reasons for the above situations are the curriculum of middle school mathematics and the system of scholastic aptitude test and the entrance examination of university. In order for improving mathematical accomplishment. we give suggestions such as a learning ability improvement program in mathematics.

In the mathematics curriculum that was revised in 2009, statistical literacy is explicitly addressed as a goal and specific objectives are included. However, statistical literacy has not been addressed in the studies on KSAT. This study aimed to draw implications on how to improve KSAT in a sense that statistical literacy could be evaluated instead of testing typical facts or skills by comparing KSAT with SAT. We used mathematical problem solving process and category of context of PISA framework (OECD, 2013) to administer the comparison of KSAT and SAT. Result shows that both KSAT and SAT use various context, but items in KSAT is limited in assessing critical understanding. We suggested several ways to develop context-based items for KSAT in which statistical literacy could be assessed.

In this paper, we selected 145 students from engineering college students who took P University's the Scholastic Level Assessment and registered the Basic Mathematics Class among the students who achieved 4th~7th grade in the mathematics B-type of the College Scholastic Ability Test. We compared and analyzed the correlation among the chosen students' grade for the College Scholastic Ability Test, test results of the Scholastic Level Assessment and mid-term test of the Basic Mathematics Subject, type of college entrance and actual condition survey of students in order to derive optimized teaching method for general mathematics subjects which can possibly increase the students' academic ability.

This study aimed to analyze the shifts in the mathematics domains of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) since its inception in 1993, with the intent of identifying improvements for the future. The goal is to provide insights for exploring the direction of assessment in Korean high school mathematics education. To this end, we focused on the test system, content area, and behavioral area within the CSAT mathematics domains. Key findings include: first, the test structure influences the assessment factors and item types, in addition to the examination time and number of items. Second, by analyzing the content area, we established a correlation between the national curriculum and assessment area, and confirmed the importance of setting the assessment area. Third, the examination of the behavioral area tended to the item-type fixation, demonstrating the necessity of the ongoing modifications in evaluation item types. Building upon these findings, we discuss the direction of an evaluation that considers the evolving demands and shifts within mathematics education.

This study is the analysis of the concepts and the characteristics of the mathematics section of the College Scholastic Ability Test. The study starts with division of the history of the College Scholastic Ability Test into four periods. These are Introduction Period(school year 1994-1996), Adjustment Period(school year 1997-2004), Development Period(school year 2005-2011) and Conversion Period(up to present since school year 2012). The periodical division of the Mathematics section is considered as identical with that of the College Scholastic Ability Test. So we investigate the characteristics of the Mathematics section through the periodical classification. This study also proposes some tasks for the future Mathematics section of the College Scholastic Ability Test.
