The purpose of this paper is to examine current state of curriculum research and research methods used in the research in Korea. Results from the review of peer-reviewed research articles suggest that the ways in which the research studies on curriculum in Korea sorted out issues seemed to heavily concentrate on the written and intended curriculum by means of a document analysis. The topics of curriculum studies were biased in the studies of intended curriculum, and a significant number of curriculum studies were related to elementary levels. Regarding the research methods, the findings showed that many studies on mathematics curriculum have focused on national curriculum, textbooks, and curriculum materials, document analysis are the most frequently used methods in the studies of mathematics curriculum. We finally suggest pursuing various research topics and issues on curriculum, balancing weigh on the written and enacted curriculum, and deeper analysis and investigation of textbooks.

This study is an analysis study on the number and operation area of middle school mathematics curriculum. This study is a literature analysis study that analyzes the historical transition process of number and operation area, and suggests the restructuring direction of mathematics learning contents for numbers and operation areas based on the results. In order to achieve this research purpose, the contents of the number and operation areas suggested from the 1st middle school mathematics curriculum to the 2015 revised middle school mathematics curriculum were considered. In addition, in this study, analysis of the mathematical learning contents of number and operation area was conducted. The details of the study are as follows. First, it was decided as a tertiary mathematics curriculum as a criterion for analysis. Second, a basic analysis framework was developed by subdividing the content of mathematics learning into content elements and terminology elements. Third, on the basis of the developed analysis framework, mathematics learning contents that are the core issues of number and operation area were extracted. Fourth, the extracted mathematics learning contents were compared with foreign curriculum. Finally, based on the analysis results, the direction of restructuring for the number and operation area of middle school was suggested. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for the development of a new curriculum.

This study investigated school mathematics curriculum of the State of Georgia in the United States focused on the 'number and operation' and 'algebra' domain. On the basis of its understanding, this domain was compared and analyzed with school mathematics curriculum of Korea. In doing so, this study explored its plans and procedures and established a frame of comparison for the curriculums between the two countries. The most noticeable difference between the former and the new curriculum in mathematics for Georgia schools is the use of performance standards. A performance standard has four components: a content standard, illustrative tasks, examples of student work, and a commentary for teachers. This study focuses on the content standard and according to the results of the present study, Korea focuses on the formal and systematic mathematical knowledge on the basis of sound understanding of certain mathematical terms or concepts. On the other hand, the State of Georgia curriculum tends to deal with the content which can be understood more intuitively, flexibly, and naturally through the experience, aquisition, and furthermore interpretation based on the concrete manipulation and technological devices.

This study basically investigated the mathematics curriculum of Finland. The curriculum is similar with the 2009's revised mathematics curriculum of Korea in terms of formats, but is different in terms of contents. The mathematics curriculum of Finland is organized into grade bands: grade 1-2, grade 3-5, grades 6-9. And also, it provides the purpose of each grade bands, the purpose of each content areas, the expectation of assessment tested at the end of grade bands.

This study intends to compare the mathematics contents included in the mathematics curriculum of Korea, California in USA, England, and Japan. The result of this comparison is that there are big differences on ranges, depths, and grades between mathematics contents in four countries' mathematics curriculum. In Korea, more contents are dealt in earlier grade and to higher level than other countries. And, these features are revealed more apparently in the area of algebra, analysis, and geometry than probability and statistics.

In this study, the 2011 elementary school mathematics curriculum was analyzed compared to the 2007 elementary school mathematics curriculum with a focus on changes in specified learning topics. First, the topics which are dealt with in the 2011 curriculum were critically discussed. Second, prominent features which can be found in learning topics in 2011 curriculum were found. The following three conclusions which can be obtained from above analyzed results were presented. First, system for curriculum development is necessary to supplement. The process of draft development for public hearing and final curriculum development is not exposed anywhere. It is necessary to clean up and disclose this process in order to study and develop next curriculum. Second, it is necessary to modify the way of stating in curriculum. it is necessary to specify and use the expressions to some extent the meaning of which are not sufficiently established and the meaning of which are ambiguous. Third, the achievement standards set by 2011 curriculum needs to be consistent. The principles for stating achievement standards are necessary. it is necessary to review the link between elementary and middle school curriculum is well-made.

There are some geometry achievement standards presented indistinctly in middle school mathematics curriculum revised in 2011. In this study, indistinctness of some geometric topics presented indistinctly such as symbol $\overline{AB}{\perp}\overline{CD}$ simple construction, properties of congruent plane figures, solid of revolution, determination condition of the triangle, justification, center of similarity, position of similarity, middle point connection theorem in triangle, Pythagorean theorem, properties of inscribed angle are discussed. The following three agenda is suggested as conclusions for the development of next middle school mathematics curriculum. First is a resolving unclarity of curriculum. Second is an issuing an authoritative commentary for mathematics curriculum. Third is a developing curriculum based on the accumulation of sufficient researches.

사회가 변화함에 따라 수학교육과정도 변화를 거듭하고 있으며, 이러한 변화에 잘 대처하기 위해서 교사는 수학교육의 방향에 대한 깊이 있는 성찰과 함께 수학, 교육학, 심리학 등 수학교육과 관련된 학문에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 이러한 교사에 대한 시대적인 요구에 능동적으로 대처하는 방안으로 Wittmann(1984)은 수학교과의 특성상 변하지 않는 요소들을 교수단위(Teaching Units)라 하고, 수학교육을 통합시키는 개념으로 교수단위이론으로 제시하였다. 교수단위는 수학에서 가르쳐야 할 내용들을 목적, 자료, 활동, 배경 등의 4요소에 따라 작은 단위로 조직화한 것으로, 이를 통해 수학연구자나 교사는 가르쳐야 할 내용에 대한 구조적인 이해와 체계적인 조직화를 도모할 수 있게 되어 나아가 사회의 변화에 대응할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 2007년 개정 수학과 교육과정 도형영역의 교수단위를 학년별로 추출하고, 추출된 교수단위의 특징과 제목을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 교수단위가 수학교육과정연구에 어떻게 활용될 수 있는지 그 방안을 모색해 보았다. 도형영역의 교수단위(TU)는 특징과 제목에 따라 '개념알기형', '개념적용형', '관계알기형'의 세 유형으로 분류할 수 있다. 현재의 도형영역 교육과정은 대체로 개념알기형, 개념적용형, 관계알기형의 순으로 구성되어 있으며, 개념적용형이 개념알기형보다 조금 더 많다. 이는 도형영역 교육과정이 학습한 개념을 다양한 방법을 통해 여러 활동에 적용시켜 봄으로써 도형의 개념을 좀 더 명확하게 알게 되는 초등학생의 발달단계를 고려하여 구성되었음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 교수단위(TU)는 수업자가 도형학습주제에 맞게 수업을 재구성하거나 학생들의 수준에 맞는 수준별 맞춤자료를 제작할 때 유용하게 활용될 수 있으며, 더 나아가 수학연구자들이 새로운 교육과정을 수립하고자 할 때 기초자료로 활용될 수도 있을 것이다. 교수단위는 고정불변의 것이 아니고 계속 보완되고 진화될 수 있는 모델이다. 따라서 앞으로도 많은 수학연구자나 현장교사의 참여로 교수단위가 보다 더 체계적이고 조직적으로 연구되어야 한다. 또한 추출된 교수단위를 교사나 학생들이 보다 편리하게 활용할 수 있도록 컴퓨터용 소프트웨어로 개발하려는 후속 연구가 필요하다.

수학 영재교육이 일반 학교수학교육과 차별화 되어야 한다는 점은 수학적 지식의 습득이 아니라 수학적 지식의 창출에 있다. 수학적 지식의 창출에 적절한 교육프로그램은 산출물을 중시하는 연구과정인데 본 연구는 이것을 성공적으로 수행할 수 있는 프로그램을 소개하며 그 기반으로서 창의적 문제해결과정을 제안한다.
