  • 본 연구는 과학 영재들이 생각하는 "0년 후의 자화상"분석을 통해 그들이 바라는 미래 직업 또는 희망, 그 이유, 그리고 그에 대한 확신 등을 조사하고자 하였으며, K대학교 과학영재교육원 중등기초과정 수학, 물리, 화학, 생물, 지구, 정보 등 6개 분야 입학생 86명(남 56명, 여 30명)을 연구 대상으로 하였다. 분석 내용은 과학 영재들에게 20년 후의 자신의 모습을 자유 서술 방식으로 기술하도록 하였다. 과학 영재들이 자신의 미래의 꿈의 실현이나 직업에 대한 확신 또는 자신감을 갖고 있는 비율은 전체의 74% 수준이었으며, 남자 영재가 62%로 여자 영재의 88%보다 낮은 것으로 조사되었다(Pearson $X^2$=4.405, p<0.05). 또한, 과학 영재들의 미래의 희망 직업에 대한 조사에서는 자신이 속한 과학 영재분야와 관련된 직업은 29.2% 정도에 지나지 않았으며, 의사나 한의사 등 의학 계통에 종사하고자 하는 비율이 32.6%로 가장 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 이외에도 사업 경영, 교사, 법조인 및 정치인, 외교관 등 다양한 직업에 대한 희망을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 경향은 성별과 상관없이 동일한 것으로 조사되었다(Pearson $X^2$=9.570, p>0.05). 과학 영재들이 미래 직업으로 관련 과학분야에 대해 응답한 것을 수학, 물리, 화학, 생물, 지구, 정보 등 과학영재 분야별로 비교하여 보면, 수학 영재들이 54,5%로 가장 높았으며, 다음으로는 화학 분야 40% 정도를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 과학 영재들이 가장 선호하였던 의학 분야에 대해서는 지구과학 영재들이 61.5%로 가장 높았으며 다음으로는 물리 영재들이 38. 9%를 차지한 것으로 조사되었다. 미래의 자신의 직업을 선택한 이유는 첫 번째가 사회 봉사와 국가 발전에 기여하기 위한 것이었으며, 다음으로는 생활의 안정을 꼽고 있었다. 이외에도 과학적 업적 달성을 위해, 자신의 꿈(이상) 실현을 위해 등의 이유를 들고 있었다. 이러한 경향은 남자 영재와 여자 영재들간에 다소 차이는 있었으나 거의 유사한 것으로 조사되었다(Pearson $X^2$=2.186, p>0.05). 우수한 능력을 소유한 영재들이 과학관련 분야를 선호하지 않는다면 우리나라의 과학 발전은 그리 낙관할 수 없을 것이다. 그러므로, 영재들을 과학 관련 분야로 이끌어 그들이 소유한 영재성을 발휘하도록 하는 것은 매우 중요한 일일 것이다. 이룰 위해서는 과학 영재들이 자신의 능력에 대한 자신감을 더욱 높여야 하며 그 능력을 과학관련 분야에 발휘하도록 하기 위한 국가적, 사회적, 교육적 노력이 필요하다. 노력이 필요하다.

  • This dissertation is aimed to investigate the reason why a contextualization is needed to help the meaningful teaching-learning concerning multiplications and divisions of fractions, the way to make the contextualization possible, and the methods which enable us to use it effectively. For this reason, this study intends to examine the differences of situations multiplying or dividing of fractions comparing to that of natural numbers, to recognize the changes in units by contextualization of multiplication of fractions, the context is set which helps to understand the role of operator that is a multiplier. As for the contextualization of division of fractions, the measurement division would have the left quantity if the quotient is discrete quantity, while the quotient of the measurement division should be presented as fractions if it is continuous quantity. The context of partitive division is connected with partitive division of natural number and 3 effective learning steps of formalization from division of natural number to division of fraction are presented. This research is expected to help teachers and students to acquire meaningful algorithm in the process of teaching and learning.

  • This study has been searching for reasoning process solving the problem effectively in activities related to meaningful classification of pieces and geometric properties with tangram. In activities using some pieces of tangram, we systematically came up with every solution in classifying properties of pieces and combining selected pieces. It is very difficult for regular students to do this tangram. In order to solve this problem effectively, we need to show that there are activities using the idea acquired in reasoning process. Through this process, we do not simply use tangram to understand he concept and play for interest but to use it more meaningfully. And the best solution an not be found by a process of trial and error but must be given by experience to look or it systematically and methods to reason it logically.

  • The aim of this study is to find how unformal proof activities contribute to solving problems successfully and to confirm the role of teachers in the progress. For this, we developed a task that can help students communicate actively with the concept of unformal proof activities and conducted a case lesson with 6 graders in Elementary school. The study shows that unformal proof activities contribute to constructing representations which are needed to solve math problems, setting up plans for problem-solving and finding right answers accordingly as well as verifying the appropriation of the answers. However, to get more out of it, teachers need to develop a variety of tasks that can stimulate students and also help them talk as actively as they can manage to find right answers. Furthermore, encouraging their guessing and deepening their thought with appropriate remarks and utterances are also very important part of what teachers need to have in order to get more positive effect from these activities.

  • This paper is about a case study of two brother talents who have a similar genetic factor The researcher who worked as a teacher of the Institute of Talent Education where the two brothers attended for 3 years analyzed and compared the influential variables through the interview of both the students and their parents. Parents have invested to the elder brother showing geniuses so they disciplined him suppressively out of too much expectation. However, they allowed his brother, who showed talents later, more automaticity, supporting him when he himself wanted to study. As a result, the younger brother showed a more creative thinking ability, and a better school performance This paper is significant in that parents's positive disciplining attitude maximize children's genius.

  • The standardized algorithm of natural number multiplication simplify the procedure of arithmetic. In the case of multiplication algorithm with regrouping, we write small the carrying number on the multiplicand. But, teachers and students have to make their own way about the case of two digits multipliers, because Korean elementary mathematics textbooks just deal with the case of the one digit multipliers. In this study, we investigated Korean current elementary mathematics textbooks related to multiplication algorithm with regrouping, and analyzed the result of research on the real condition about marking the carrying number. Besides, we reviewed the guidance contents of algorithm of natural number multiplication in Finland's math textbook and literature. By conclusions, we suggest several implications as followed; First, we need some examples of the way to mark the carrying number in teacher's guidance books and textbooks. Second, teachers try for students to feel the good points of the systematic ways to mark the carrying number. Third, teachers understand algorithm of natural number multiplication and the alternative ways about marking the carrying number.

  • The purpose of this study was to provide instructional suggestions by investigating the spatial sense and spatial reasoning ability of 6th grade students. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions, 10 for spatial visualization and 10 for spatial orientation. The number of subjects for the survey was 145. The processes through which the students solved the problems were the basis for the assessment of their spatial reasoning. The result of the survey is as follows: First, students performed better in spatial visualization than in spatial orientation. With regard to spatial visualization, they were better in transformation than in rotation. With regard to spatial orientation, students performed better in orientation sense and structure cognitive ability than in situational sense. Second, the students that weren't excellent in spatial visualization tended to answer the familiar figures without using mental images. The students who lacked spatial orientation experienced difficulties finding figures observed from the sides. Third, students had high frequency rate on the cognition and use of transformation, the development and application of visualization methods and the use of analysis and synthesis. However they had a lower rate on a systematic approach and deductive reasoning. Further detailed investigation into how students use spatial reasoning, and apply it to actual teaching practice as a device for advancing their geometric thinking is necessary.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate middle school students' understanding and development of function graphs. We collected the data from the teaching experiment with two middle school students who had not yet received instruction on linear function in school. The students participated in a 15-day teaching experiment(Steffe, & Thompson, 2000). Each teaching episode lasted one or two hours. The students initially focused on numerical values rather than the overall relationship between the variables in functional situations. This study described meaning, role of and students' responses for the given tasks, which revealed the students' understanding and development of function graphs. Especially we analyzed students' responses based on their methods to solve the tasks, reasoning that derived from those methods, and their solutions. The results indicate that their continuous reasoning played a significant role in their understanding of function graphs.

  • According to previous researches about online evaluation in many e-Learning contents, it took too much time and effort to generate test questions for formative or achievement tests using a database as an item pool. Furthermore, it is hard to measure accomplishment of learners for each unit through overall tests provided by existing e-learning contents. In this paper, to efficiently cope with problems described above, the item pool based on Item Form was transformed into Interaction Date Model in Run-Time Environment of SCORM2004. And the contents for the math concepts and principles that students would learn from regular classroom were developed in accordance with SCORM. In addition, Confidence Factor Function was used to take an objective view in measuring the accomplishment of learners through the items automatically generated by LMS(Learning Management System).
