The purpose of this study is to revise the curriculum of mathematics, which is the basic for the engineering studies, especially for the disciplines of the electronic engineering, computer science, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, civil engineering and architecture. Another goal of this research was to integrate a computer software, MATLAB into a mathematics course so that the mathematical concepts and theories in the course can be visualized to help students understand some difficult subjects and enhance their interest in mathematics.

시행될 제 7차 교육과정은 학생이 진로와 관련하여 엄격한 과정 없이 자신의 계열 과정을 스스로 만들어 가는 시스템이다, 이제 수요자 논리에 입각한 학생들의 선택권 확대에 따라 고등학교 수학도 선택과목으로서의 입지가 상당히 약화될 전망이다. 또 대학 이후의 수학교육은 관심 밖의 일로 치부되고 있다. 중요한 과목임에도 불구하고 어렵고 배우기 힘들다는 이유 때문에 수학교육이 급속하게 도태되어가고 있다. 바람직하지 못한 상황의 전개에 그 어느 때보다 보완작업이 시급하다. 그 중 수학인이 해야 할 중요한 일은, 사람들에게 수학을 배워야겠다는 마음을 갖게 해주는 것이다. 생활하면서 수학의 효용성과 필요성을 깨달을 수 있도록 수학에 관련된 유익한 교양교재 개발이 필요한 때이다. 기존의 교재와는 차별성 있게 교재 개발을 시도하였다.

At the time when textbooks were developed and applied according to the 2015 revised curriculum and At the time of developing new test textbooks, it is necessary to examine the contents of the textbooks based on the 2015 revised curriculum and the responses of field teachers. Therefore, this study conducted a questionnaire survey for elementary school teachers on how teachers perceive and evaluate elementary mathematics textbooks (math textbooks, mathematics learning books, teacher guidebooks) developed and applied based on the 2015 revised curriculum. The results were analyzed.

7차 교육과정을 시행에 앞서, 현재 초등학생들이 수학을 어떻게 생각하고 있으며, 어 떤 이유로 수학에서 학습 부진을 느낄까? 라는 문제의식을 갖게 되었다. 그래서 정규교육의 첫 단계인 초등학교 수학교과에 대한 인식 및 학습 부진에 관한 연구를 시행하고자 했다. 본 연구대상은 대전 ${\cdot}$ 충남 지역에 소재하고 있는 6개 초등학교 6개 반을 선정하여 발달사고과정에서 자신의 생각을 분명하게 나타낼 수 있는 4학년에서 6학년을 연구대상으로 선정하여 교과요인에 대한 설문조사를 하였다. 본 연구는 수학교과에 대해초등학생들이 어떤 생각을 가지고 있고, 어떤 교과요인을 학습하는데 어려움을 느끼는지를 알아봄으로써, 본 연구 결과를 기초로 중학생 ${\cdot}$ 고등학생 ${\cdot}$ 대학생들까지 연속하여 수학교과에 대한 인식을 조사하고 함이며, 새롭게 시행될 7차 교육과정에서의 수학교과 구성면과 수학 학습 및 교수 방법론에 보다 바람직하고 효과적인 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

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.

The current mathematics curriculum are consist of the following domains: 'Characteristics', 'Objectives', 'Contents', 'Teaching and learning method', and 'Assessment'. The mathematics standards which students have to learn in the school are presented in the domain of 'Contents'. 'Contents' are consist of the following sub-domains: 'Number and Operation', 'Geometric Figures', 'Measures', 'Probability and Statistics', and 'Pattern and Problem-Solving' (Elementary School); 'Number and Operation', 'Geometry', 'Letter and Formula', 'Function', and 'Probability and Statistics' (Junior and Senior High School). These sub-domains of 'Contents' are dealing with mathematical subjects, except 'Problem-Solving' at the elementary school level. In this study, the sub-domain of 'mathematical process' was suggested in an equal position to the typical sub-domains of 'Contents'.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the next curriculum revision, as well as to foster improvements to the quality of the Korean elementary school math classes by analyzing and comparing the Korean 2015 revised curriculum with the current Japanese curriculum of math. To accomplish this purpose, the research questions were set as follows. 1. What are the directions for revising Korean 2015 revised curriculum and the Japanese curriculum for elementary school mathematics? 2. What is the difference between the elements of learning content offered in the respective Korean and Japanese curriculums for elementary school mathematics? The conclusions of this study are as follows. Firstly, although Korea and Japan share common core statistical education objectives, they approach their goals with different methods. Korea focuses on academic competency, while Japan focuses on fostering the "power to live". For the learning process, Korea emphasized process-focused evaluation, while Japan emphasized fostering mathematical thought and thinking through mathematical activities. For class improvement, Korea focused on reducing the learning burden through appropriating the amount of learning by shifting or removing some elements of the learning content. Japan, on the other hand, refocused their attention on improving active learning within the classroom, and also increased the hours of math class within their curriculum. Secondly, there was a difference in the content composition of the curriculums of Korea and Japan. By comparing the elements of learning content, I got the conclusions for the next curriculum revision in Korea.

The scientific technology developed rapidly and the internet became more popular, also, the world became interactive with one another and the word 'Global' became popular and built a new paradigm. As the development of the society, the ideal criteria for the competent student changed. Consequently, the attention for the globalized education increased. From the points of view of mathematical education, it became a important task to be prepared for international competitiveness for korean talented students. For theses reasons, this article analyzes the characteristics of IBDP and its textbook, which is an international official curriculum and one of the actualizing method for internalization Korean high school curriculum and text book, specifically, focusing on algebra part. Especially, Korean curriculum textbooks and the Mathematical Higher Level textbooks of IBDP was compared and analyzed. As a result, the depth and range of the content, standard level of the question, methods being used to explain the concept, type of questions as well as teaching - learning method were analyzed and in each chapter of the algebra we give meaningful result and proposed discussion.
