수학학습에 관심과 흥미를 불러일으키려고 수학의 중요성과 필요성을 수학 자체와 여러 과목 사이의 관계를 통해서 학생들에게 알리는 한편, 수학의 중요성과 필요성에 대해 수학이 공학의 여러 과목에 구체적으로 이용되는 예를 들고, 또 자연과학, 음악, 체육과 인문 ${\cdot}$ 사회과학 등에 포함된 문제의 해결을 하며 더 많은 정보를 얻는 구체적인 예를 제시한다. 또 본 대학 공대 교수와 공대 학생들에게 설문 조사를 한 결과를 정리하여 알아보고 도움을 주려고 한다.

수학교육에서 학생들이 학습을 통하여 습득하여할 중요한 주제는 수학 지식과 수학을 다루는 인지적 조작 기술일 것이다. 특히 수학지식과 지식의 활용은 문제해결을 통한 학습에서 의미 있게 학생에게 나타나며 이를 통하여 수학 학습 동기를 강화하고 수학의 가치를 느끼게 한다는 점에서 중요한 의의를 갖는다. 대학수준의 수학교육과정에서도 문제해결은 중요한 수학교육의 중심 수단으로서 목적으로서 선언되어 있지만 실제 수업에서 잘 다루고 있지 못하다. 문제해결 지도에 대한 접근 방식으로 1950년대의 문제해결전략을 다룬 Polya, 1990년대의 메타인지적 접근을 강조한 Schoenfeld 및 최근의 여러 연구자들의 활발한 연구가 이어지고 있다. 본 논문에서 대학 수준의 문제해결 수업의 접근 방법을 소개함으로 문제해결 수업을 구현할 수 있는 지식을 제공한다. 특히 Schoenfeld의 문제해결 수업 모델은 수학 교육의 교실 수업으로의 구현 측면에서 갖는 다양한 함의를 제시한다.

One of the essential factors for successful college mathematics class is to provide a strong motivation for learning to students. In this respect, this paper attempted to find out how the letter-writing assignment can change students' learning attitude and enhance their motivation for further mathematical investigation. The process is to have all students write up letters containing a summary of the major points covered during the semester, and to find out how valuable is the letter-writing assignment. The major finding of this research is that the letter-writing assignment makes a notable contribution to the desirable change of students' learning attitude. From this finding, we suggest that the letter-writing assignment be adopted by more math classes and expect that such expansion of the letter-writing assignment would have a positive influence on the students' learning attitude.

We discuss the effect of ability grouping calculus courses based upon student's proficiency of the subject and their collective examination of midterms and finals among mid-level and low-level classes. We assess incoming freshmen at Seoul National University of Technology(SNUT) of their proficiency in calculus and assign them to the appropriate levels within the course(i.e., high-level, mid-level, low-level). We found that this was beneficial to both students and instructors. Instructors can easily determine the pace in which each class should be kept, and students can quickly adapt to the learning environment.

In the College Scholastic Ability Test, applicants of science tracks usually choose type Ga mathematics. However, students who took type Na mathematics test can also apply to science and engineering tracks in many universities by cross-Applications. Many universities have given additional points to type Ga mathematics test taker in order to recruit students who excel in the natural science track curriculum. In this paper, we study the necessity and effect of additional points system by using the data of Seoul National University of Science and Technology.

In this study, we identified the effects of Self-Reflective Note(SRN) strategy, which used on 'college mathematics' courses, operated as a liberal arts curriculum course in university. For this purpose, we used SRN strategy on 'college mathematics' 3 classes, 'college mathematicsII' 1 class enrolled 95 students, and then analyzed the data. For identifying a change of students' learning, we conducted surveys related to the affective domain, core competencies, satisfaction. From this, we identified the followings. First, the interest, self-confidence, future expectation of students who attended classes in which SRN strategy is used are positively changed. Second, core competencies(self-directed ability, communication ability) of students who attended classes in which SRN strategy is used are improved. Third, the students who attended classes in which SRN strategy is used evaluated such as mathematics learning using the strategy help their mathematics study. Fourth, the students who attended classes in which SRN strategy is used evaluated such as the strategy improved their learning habit, supplemented their weakness, and activate realistic communication between professor and them.

In this paper, we discuss efforts that has been made by mathematics departments in Korea to meet the need of the 4th industrial revolution era. First of all, we introduce various industrial mathematics programs that some universities in Korea started to provide in order to nurture math/math education graduate to be prepared for the demand of the society. We also introduced a mathematics for Big Data course that we did offer recently which can be shared.

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.

In this paper, we surveyed the attitudes of engineering students in 6 universities in Chungcheong area to mathematics by 5-scale degrees and performed a comparative analysis of the results. The results revealed a number of meaningful points which should be applied to college mathematic education. On the basis of the results of the analysis, we made the following suggestions; 1) It is necessary to pay much attention to the students who have insufficient math ability 2) Special teaching methods are required for Freshman engineering students 3) Practical teaching strategies should be developed for engineering students that are based on the research on their math background 4) We should develop more materials in the area of mathematical concept image 5) More attention should be paid to the relation between math concepts and engineering concepts. Besides the above suggestions, we proposed that more research about students' math background and attitudes should be conducted for more efficient college math education.
