수학 학습 부진아의 지도가 효율적으로 이루어지기 위해서는 먼저 원인의 진단이 선행되어야 하고, 이를 바탕으로 적절한 치료 대책이 이루어져야 하는 바, 교사는 수학 학습에서 부진을 야기하는 여러 가지 복합적인 요인에 대한 지식을 갖출 필요가 있다. 학생들이 수학적 이론의 구조 속에 싸여 있을 때, 수학적 개념과 원리를 잘 이해하는 것처럼, 교사는 수학 학습 부진의 요인에 대한 이론의 구조 속에서 학생들의 행동을 투사함으로써 그들의 행동을 이해하게 되고 진단과 치료가 잘 이루어질 것이다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본 연구는 수학 학습 부진의 요인을 크게 개인적 측면과 환경적 측면으로 나누고, 개인적 측면에서는 인지적 요인, 심동적 요인, 정서적 요인을, 환경적 측면에서는 사회적 요인, 교육적 요인에 대해 고찰한다. 그리고 이들 요인에 대한 정확한 처방을 하기에는 어려움이 많지만, 최선의 교육적 치료 방법을 논의해 보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to know what is the difficulties that mathematics underachievers are suffering from the area of mathematical function and how to overcome this difficulties. For this study, we have selected two mathematics underachievers and carried out the inspection. The mathematics underachievers have undergone the difficulties of understanding mathematical problems, the difficulties from the deficit of prerequisite and basic learning, the difficulties of finding the answer typically and the difficulties of classifying an algebraic symbol, the difficulties of calculating the gradient of the straight line passing through two points.

Mathematical misconception is one of the big obstacles of the underachieving students to learn mathematics correctly. This study aims to develop the instruction materials for secondary school students who are underachieving in mathematics to reduce the occurrence of the misconception and to help them to build the correct concept in the mathematical learning. Before developing the material, we tried to collect the misconception cases occurring in common mathematics lesson. This materials tries to provide key educational contents for mathematics teachers who is responsible for teaching underachieving student and help them to creative interesting ideas for lessons. The materials could be used not only as an teaching materials for underachieving students or students with the misconceptions, but also could be used as training materials for mathematics teachers.

This paper is to develop teaching procedures of low achievers in mathematics by using mindmaps. For this, we firstly set the teaching process on basis of literature research. And then we choose four subjects who had serious problems of both memory and mathematics achievement. we also choose the several topics of geometry and measure which could be a big burden of memory as stuff for mindmap activities. The results led us to that using mindmap activities in learning and teaching mathematics could effect on that kind of students' mathematical achievement and mathematical attitude as well as retention of mathematical concepts. It implied that we could develop individual programs for students who have different problems in learning mathematics.

One of the object on math education is low-level students. To improve this problem and to instruct efficiently I developed "let's play figures" instruction and learning system. This system reconstructed diagram part of math into 5steps to achieve the goal of tailored education to fit student's learning level. Based on this, the game can be used as the teaching method to enhance the student's interest and self-studying ability and also this system has been developed for the education connected to home.

In this study, we investigated the cognitive characteristics of low science achieving middle school students in K-WISC-IV, and compared the results with high science achieving and achieving students. The results showed us that high science achieving students scored higher than counterparts in FSIQ. Low science achieving students scored lower than high science achieving and achieving students in VCI. Especially low science achieving students scored lower than two groups in subtest SI. The low level of abstraction in low science achieving students is due to the lack of scientific reasoning ability. Therefore subtest SI is considered as highly discriminating test for low science achieving group. Low levels in verbal comprehension, abstraction and reasoning ability are the major factors in poor school performance. High science achieving students scored more than achieving and low achieving students in WMI. Because the working memory is involved in scientific reasoning problem solving process, it is believed to play an important role in science achieved.

This study has planned to understand the counting ability of mathematical low achievers(MLAs) in low grades of elementary school. For this, four MLAs of second graders were chosen as a experimental group and four MLAs of fourth graders and two mid-achievers of second grades were chosen as a comparison group. Every students were individually interviewed and their data were analyzed with three respects: accuracy, speed, efficiency. The results are the following three. First, the experimental group is still not used to counting. They counted slowly, made many mistakes and errors, and used inefficient strategies during counting. Second, It is hard to expect natural improvement of their counting performance as growing up. Finally, the explicit correlation between counting ability and arithmetic ability is not drown in this study, but the possibility still remains. These results tell us that we need to stress counting activity to MLAs when they are low graders.

It is urgent to have learning support for children with learning disability according to the survey made by the government educational organization. To this end, we developed a learning support system for children with learning disability. First, the system diagnoses the children with learning disability using a decision tree based on the pre-test results. Secondly, it supports for children with learning disability one of audio-, vision- and tactility-oriented learning types according to the results from the psychological learning style test. Thirdly, one-to-one study is supported for failed students at the achievement test. For the evaluation of the system, the children with disability were divided into an experimental group and a control group and the educational achievement was evaluated. We found that 10% on the average was improved in case that learning was made after the psychological test for learning styles.

There are various efforts to alleviate problems about the learning disabilities each year, however, the number of the learning disabilities has been increasing. Therefore, we need to consider and develop practical methods to help them. In this aspect, we review and examine previous research regarding the learning disabilities which are known to be general and comprehensive. Then we suggest math clinic as one of the methods to alleviate the problem. There are purposes of the math clinic. The first is to make a comprehensive diagnosis for basic (emotional, environmental, psychological) reasons as well as the learning anxiety; not only the lower achievement in learning. The second is to provide them suitable corrective programs which would help them to gain a better understanding about mathematics and a positive learning attitude. The third is to provide them applicabilities in their learning and potentialities so that we have given them foundation in mathematics. In this article, we operate math clinic for the learning disabilities, and then make an analysis of the student's error occurred in learning, and finally we suggest a demonstrative operating program of math clinic for learning disabilities.

In this research, we observed how students perform as they followed the teachers' instruction, and consequently perform their realized potential. As the accountability of school education is emphasized, various attempts try to disconnect the vicious cycle of producing low achievers. Efforts are allocated into developing a method to minimize cumulative effect of the lag in educational benefit by focusing on the elementary education. Based on the 2007 revised curriculum, mathematics achievement level and assessment criteria were developed. These criteria were used to standardize the course and assessment objectives for 4th through 6th grade students' mathematics studies, and to assess lower performing students and the lag in their mathematical understanding. The educational materials and assessment criteria can be expected to lead lower performing students by giving them the personalized lesson plans to minimize the lag of mathematical understanding, and eventually expedite their progress and prevent cumulative effect of the lag in the following curriculum.
