This paper considers learning and teaching of mathematical analysis in teachers college. It concentrates on showing a way how learning and teaching of mathematical analysis should be considered for mathematical teachers training. It is composed of five chapters including Chapter I as an introduction and Chapter Vasa concluding remarks. Chapter II deals with goal and contents of global mathematical analysis. The main Chapter, named Chapter III, demonstrates exhibition of contents, way of operations, and contents of teaching and learning of mathematical real analysis. Chapter IV shows an example of learning and teaching of mathematical real analysis concerning to fixed points and approximate solutions.

A variety of competencies for good teaching in mathematics has been discussed. It has been expected that there is discordance between researchers and teachers' perspectives on the competencies. We attempted to investigate teachers' perspectives rather than researchers' to narrow the possible discordance. First, we built a list of competencies for good teaching that mathematics teachers should meet by reviewing literatures. Second, we investigated mathematics teachers' perceptions about what requirements teachers should meet for good teaching, how mathematics learning experiences at the university level influence teachers' competence cultivation, and how pre-service teacher education influence teachers' competence building. Based on the results, we discussed mathematics teachers' competencies for good teaching and provided implications for pre-service teacher education.

The main purpose of this work is to propose programs of calculus for the department of mathematics education of teacher training universities. There is a description of the characteristics, goal and contents of calculus course for pre-service teacher, followed by principles for teaching the subject. We suggest the constituents and something being kept in mind for each part in calculus.

This study aims to investigate reflections of secondary pre-service mathematics teachers and their changes through practicing as assistant teacher in mathematics classrooms. For the purpose of this study, research questions are addressed on the reflections and their changes. During the 2015 Spring semester, secondary pre-service mathematics teachers took a course related to working as assistant teachers in regular mathematics lessons in a middle school. This study selected cases of two pre-service teachers. The data such as reports on their practices and final meeting report with teachers were collected during the semester. The results showed that the secondary pre-service mathematics teachers reflected teachers, students, mathematics contents, and themselves in their reports. In addition, each participant showed different contents of reflections. This difference implied that secondary pre-service mathematics teachers could have different reflections according to the types of lessons that they participated in.

In this study, we carried out mathematics teacher-training course. The topic of this training course is the understanding of content area reading in school mathematics. The teacher-training course is planned to guide mathematics teachers can perform effectively the teaching of content area reading. In particular, we illustrated the pre-service mathematics teacher education practice. Mathematics teachers investigated various teaching strategies that can lead their students read reading materials related to mathematics effectively. In this training courses, teachers reflects on their own experience and they have an opportunity to learn the new strategies that improve their teaching methods. Teacher educator and in-service teachers share and discuss their practices, they have a meaningful learning experiences. In this study, we presented the processes of the teacher-training course and the results of practice. Furthermore, on the basis of the limitations of this study, we suggested recommendations for the future teacher training program.

In this research, we designed an educational activities of exploring mathematics programs in a course of mathematics education in teacher's college. We divided future mathematics teachers into 8 groups and suggested 8 mathematics programs to them. Each group explored one mathematics program. We asked to future mathematics teachers exploring some cases that use effectively a mathematics program in the teaching of school mathematics. In the process of an exploring, we designed some activities of teaching and learning. We provided opportunities of long-term exploration, group learning, presentations, exercises, reflections to mathematics teachers. As a result, future mathematics teachers acquired basic knowledge on the usage of mathematics programs in school mathematics textbook. In addition, their capabilities that are needed to explore mathematics programs have been enhanced. Also they had learned the teacher's positive attitude through the activities of teaching and learning.

This study is to design Flipped Learning classrooms of learner-centered education on the pre-service math teachers education. The study aims to explore the feasibility of teaching and learning method. To achieve the objectives of the study was to explore the teaching and learning model. Flipped learing classroom design includes a main step of a typical process of teaching system. And we designed the model based on the ADDIE Model. This model contains the design steps and the Flipped learning component of the teaching and learning design model. Designed classroom presented in three steps that are before classroom, during classroom and after classroom.

대부분의 수학 교사들은 국내외에서 개최되는 많은 학술 행사에 참여하기를 꺼려하고 있으며 수학 교육의 새로운 정보에 접촉하려는 의지가 부족한 실정이다. 이 때문에 세계의 수학 교육의 흐름이 어떤지, 우리 나라의 수학 교육과정이나 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습법이 외국의 것과는 어떻게 다른지 또는 수준에 차이가 있다면 얼마나 차이가 있는지 별 관심을 갖지 않고 있으며 구태여 많은 노력을 들여 이러한 것을 알려고 하지도 않는다. 필자의 판단으로는 우리 나라의 수학 교육이 당면하고 있는 가장 큰 문제는 수학 교사들은 많으나 우수한 자질을 가진 수학 교사들이 많지 않기 때문에 창의성 교육이 제대로 이루어지지 않는 것과 학교 수학 교육에서 능력별 반 편성이 무엇보다도 필요한 줄 알면서도 수십년 동안 제대로 실행되지 않아 학생들의 수준에 맞도록 효율적으로 수학을 지도할 수 없는 것이라 생각한다. 이 두 문제는 모두 몇몇 수학 교사들의 의지와 노력만으로는 해결할 수 없는 문제들이다. 그러나 많은 교사들이 모여 이러한 문제점들을 공동으로 인식하고 함께 해결하기를 노력한다면 시일이 좀 걸리더라도 언젠가는 해결되리라고 믿는다. 장기적으로 수학 교사의 자질을 향상시키기 위해서는 교사 양성 기관(사범대학과 교육대학교)의 개선이 필요하며, 능력별 반 편성은 교육정책자들이나 교육행정가들이 마음만 먹으면 1${\sim}$2년내에 이룰 수 있다. 이제 전국수학교육연구대회와 같은 행사는 단순한 수학교육이론의 전달이나 현장연구에서 발견한 새로운 사실들만은 발표하는 곳이 아니라, 될 수 있는 데로 많은 수학 교육자들이 모여 수학 교육의 문제점을 찾고, 함께 풀어 나가기 위한 토론의 장(場)이 되어야한다. 또 필요에 따라서는 수학 교육에 관련한 어떤 결의도 하고 교육부 또는 각 교육청이나 교육연구기관에 보내는 건의문도 만들어야 할 것이다. 어떻든 이와 같이 전국 수학교육자들이 모일 때는 꼭 참여하여 우리의 문제를 적극적으로 해결하도록 힘을 합치는 것이 수학교육자의 올바른 태도라고 생각한다.
