The purposes of this article are to discuss how mathematics classroom in the departmentalized classroom system can be established for effective education, and describe current efforts within departmentalized mathematics classrooms toward achieving this goal. A departmentalized mathematics classroom would be most effective in improving education if implemented after comprehensive preplan for the specificity of the subject and characteristics of students depending on their grades and levels in their unique school environment. Continued investigation for effective communication of teaching and learning methods in a mathematics classroom will be a key component to set a departmentalized mathematics classroom up and to improve the quality of education.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relations among mathematics teachers' beliefs, classroom norms and discourse, and equity issues in mathematics classrooms. In order to achieve this purpose, three teachers who work in the same school were analyzed. The analysis revealed that the participating teachers' beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning and about their students' abilities and motivation influenced the establishment of classroom norms and discourses that defined what students needed to do to be successful mathematics learners. Also, classroom norms and discourse affected the development of students' identity and power and the level of equity in the classroom.

This paper provides an outline of mathematics education based on the classroom ecology. Ecology is the subject that concentrates on the relations of human and environment. As mathematics education consists of many factors, it is natural that mathematics education should be interest in the perspective of ecology. This paper examines the meaning of ecology and classroom ecology of mathematics education in the perspective of ecology. And it provides the directions of ecological mathematics education. In special, I set the frame of mathematics classroom in the perspective of ecology. The ecological structure divides microsystem(teacher, student, content), mesosysten(relations of microsystems), exosystem(school), and macrosystem(the objects of mathematics education). Lastly, I suggest the ways of mathematical learning and research of classroom ecology in mathematics education. For we should focus the improvement of students' mathematical ability, we must search for the various teaching and learning methods and the ares of research in the perspective of ecology classroom. Therefore, we should be interested in the classroom environments as well as teaching methods, contents based on the ecology classroom in mathematics education.

The purpose of this study is to search whether mathematical beliefs have changed when new social norms are formed in math classroom through research using survey papers about mathematical beliefs and math class video photographing. In addition, it would search for social norms of mathematical classroom which affects to students' mathematical beliefs by analyzing culture of mathematical classroom. The result was that the class focusing only general social norms wasn't enough to change students' mathematical beliefs. And as we have examined sociomathematical norms of math classroom through analyzing culture of mathematics classroom, it has affected students' mathematical beliefs.

There has been an increasing concern of how mathematical idea indicates and shares in a way to promote students' mathematical development. Such ideas highlighting need of the culture of mathematics classroom in mathematical education. The culture of mathematics classroom was constructed classroom social norms, sociomathematical norms, and classroom mathematical practice. This paper investigated how sociomathematical norms were constructed in two elementary mathematics classrooms by two different teachers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate development direction of a mathematics subject classroom. This study started with an analysis of previously conducted studies to investigate. After that, I selected and visited eight schools thatapplied the Mathematics subject classroom for interviews. Observations and interviews with math teachers were executed to figure out circumstances and operational status of the mathematics subject classroom. As the result of this research, the Mathematics subject classroom required various improvements in the facilities and the curriculum systems. Throughout this study, Isuggestedfive principles for teaching and learning. These principles are Creativity, Communication, Cooperation, Mathematical thinking and Problem solving. Furthermore, two subject classroom models for teaching and learning of mathematics - the cooperative learning room and the media room - were designed. These room required different resources and served distinct function.

본 연구의 목적은 초 ${\cdot}$ 중학생들의 수학적 신념을 알아보고, 그러한 신념을 형성하는 요인들을 수학 교실의 상호작용에서 찾아보는 것이었다. 이를 위해, 초등학교 5, 6학년과 중학교 1, 2, 3학년 학생들의 수학적 신념을 질문지로 조사하였으며 각급 학교의 수학 교실에서 벌어지는 교수-학습 과정을 비디오로 촬영하여 각 교실의 사회적 규범들을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과로서, 학생들은 수학은 이미 만들어진 규칙과 용어들로 이루어졌고 그 규칙에 따라 주어진 문제를 풀어 답을 구하는 것이 수학적 활동이라고 인식하고 있었다. 한편, 이러한 신념은 각급 교실에 형성된 사회수학적 규범과 일치했으며, 특히 개념설명과 새로운 전략 및 오류에 대한 반응과 관련된 사회수학적 규범이 학생들의 수학적 활동을 제한함으로써 그들의 신념을 결정하고 있었다.

This study is to make strides toward an enriched understanding of changing a prevailing teacher-centered mathematics classroom culture to a student-centered culture by analyzing six reform-oriented classrooms of three elementary school teachers throughout a year This study provided a detailed description of important classroom episodes to explore how the participants in each class established a reform-oriented mathematics microculture. Despite the exemplary form of student-centered instruction, the content and qualities of the teaching practices are somewhat different in the extent to which students' ideas become the center of mathematical discourse and activity. Given the similarities in terms of general social norms and the differences in terms of socio-mathematical norms and mathematical practice, this study addresses some crucial issues on understanding the culture of elementary mathematics classroom in transition.

최근 수학교육에서 수학교사의 신념과 교실 규범에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 측면에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있는 배경에는 수학 교수-학습의 개혁은 교사의 신념과 교실 규범의 형태가 이러한 개혁의 비젼과 일치될 때 일어날 것이라 믿기 때문이라고 보아진다. 따라서 이 글에서는 교사의 신념과 교실 규범의 연구를 위한 이론적 틀을 제공하기 위하여 문화기술 연구법 (Ethnography)에 대하여 고찰하고, 수학교육 연구에서의 타당성을 살펴보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mathematics instruction for the formation of mathematics classroom culture on cognitive and affective domains of elementary school students. Two classes of 3rd grade elementary school in Seoul were chosen for the study. Twenty math classes were conducted, discussing the norms and using mathematical communication and journal writing activity was carried out. A mathematical achievement evaluation was performed for the inspection of the cognitive domains and a mathematical aptitude test was performed for the inspection of the affective domains. Research has shown that the mathematics classroom culture have a positive effect on the development of students' cognitive and affective domains. In particular, in the course of forming a mathematical classroom culture, students showed a change in the affective domain of a mathematics. Based on these findings, a change in teacher's perception of the importance of mathematics is needed and a variety of circumstances surrounding the students suggested the formation of a mathematical classroom culture.
