This study analyzed the mathematics textbooks of middle grades in the first Korean curriculum, based on the modern trends of mathematics education curriculum, comparing with present Korean curriculum's other textbooks and the American textbook, MiC. The mathematics textbooks in the first Korean curriculum are based on various situations in our real life and introduce mathematical concepts throughout a set of mathematics problems. The textbooks present mathematical concepts with connected knowledge and include mathematical activities which make students use mathematical table, graph and formula at the same time. And students are actively required to discuss together during the mathematics problem solving process. As the results of this modern review on Korean 1st curriculum and middle grades mathematics textbooks, it would provide preliminary data and meaningful implications for the next curriculum and concomitant instructional materials.

제 7 차 수학과 교육 과정에서 이산수학이 수학과 선택과목으로 채택이 되었음에도 불구하고, 교사와 학생의 이산수학에 대한 인식이 부족하고 또한 교수-학습법에 대한 기준과 표본이 제시되어 있지 않은 상황에서 현재 고등학교에서 이산수학을 선택하는 학교와 학생의 수는 미미한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 이산수학 교육의 상황 개선을 위한 고등학교 이산수학의 본연의 의미와 제 7 차 수학과 교육 과정에서의 이산수학 교육의 취지 및 목표 등을 고려하여 교육학적으로 보다 의미 있고 효과적인 교수-학습법을 제안하고자 한다.

This study analyzed mathematical processes elaborated in the mathematics curricula of Korea, China, Japan, and the US. Ten mathematical processes were extracted: (a) learning of concepts, principles, laws, and skills; (b) problem solving; (c) reasoning; (d) communication; (e) representation; (f) connections; (g) creativity; (h) character-building; (i) self-directed learning; and (j) positive attitude toward mathematics. This study specified the meaning of such processes and their sub-domains, noticing similarities and differences among the curricula. On the basis of the results, this study includes suggestions for the development of next mathematics curriculum in Korea.

수학교과서는 수학 교수-학습의 매개체로서 그 변화에 대한 비교 연구는 수학 교육을 조명하는데 있어 의미있는 일이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 국가간의 수학 교과서를 비교 ${\cdot}$ 분석한 것은 여럿 있으나 우리나라 교육과정의 변화에 따른 비교 ${\cdot}$ 연구는 드물다. 이에 본 연구는 제 6, 7차 교육과정에서 실용수학의 편제 ${\cdot}$ 성격, 목표, 영역명의 차이점은 무엇이며, 내적체제 면의 유사점과 차이점 및 각 영역에서 학습 내용의 유사점과 차이점이 무엇인가에 대한 비교 ${\cdot}$ 분석을 통하여 우리나라 6. 7차 교육과정에 따른 실용수학 교과서의 문제점을 도출하고 좀 더 나은 교과서 개발에 기여하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.

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.

In Korea, mathematics education of 11-12 grade students has been taken according to the 7th national mathematics curriculum, which was renovated by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development announcement in 1997. The education of probability and statistics has been carried out as a part of this curriculum. We analyze mathematics textbooks-Practical mathematics and Mathematics I- and compare the 7th national mathematics curriculum with the 6th national mathematics curriculum.

In this paper we analyse how school mathematics terminologies have been changed from the syllabus period to the 2007 curriculum. For this we survey the school mathematics terminologies which have been used since the syllabus period on the 2007 curriculum basis, analyse changes in expression of those, and look through to the characteristics of mathematics terminologies for each curriculum period.

New Zealand had reformed their national curriculum with competence and are applying the revised curriculum. As the 2015 revised national curriculum is clothed with competency-based curriculum, New Zealand may have important implications for the study of the Korean revised curriculum. In this study, we examine characteristics of the education system and the national curriculum in New Zealand. In addition, we analyze the standards into the New Zealand national curriculum in terms of 'curriculum connectivity' that is one of important curriculum criteria for improving the quality of education. For this, we look an overview of the relation between the New Zealand curriculum and NCEA, which is the core of the student-centered education system in New Zealand, and analyze the correspondence between the New Zealand curriculum and the Korean curriculum. And we establish analysis framework of curriculum connectivity based on these comparison analysis contents, and analyze Korean mathematics standards with corresponding levels from among the New Zealand mathematics curriculum. According to the results of this study, the New Zealand curriculum includes the most of standards which Korean high school students who want to enter university of natural sciences of engineering need to require. In addition, the New Zealand curriculum highlights statistical research activities for developing problem-solving ability in real life. From perspective of curriculum connectivity, 'in-depth contents' adding on to repeating mathematical concepts or contents are included in the New Zealand curriculum.

We would like to give an introduction about Korean Tertiary Mathematics and curriculum in the early 20th centuryan Ttails like, when tertiary mathematics was introduced in Korea, who adiated it, and how it appeared in curriculum for college education were presented.

This study is related to reinforcement of the continuity between Nuri curriculum and elementary mathematics curriculum emphasized by 2015 revised national curriculum. Considering that teachers tend to rely much more on textbooks than on curriculum, we analyzed the continuity between math-related activities of Nuri manuals for teachers and the elementary mathematics textbooks and aimed to suggest several ways for securing the continuity based on the result of analyses. To do this, we compared and analyzed Nuri manuals (for ages three to five) for teachers and the first and second grade mathematics textbooks in three aspects: mathematical contents, mathematical terms and symbols, and mathematical processes. We adopted the same analysis framework including continuity, discontinuity and reverse continuity as the study on the continuity between Nuri curriculum and elementary mathematics curriculum. As a result, the results of analyses were revealed in three aspects, respectively. We also discussed the results and suggested some implications for securing the continuity of Nuri manuals for teachers and the elementary mathematics textbooks and for revising curriculum and its materials such as textbooks, workbooks or manuals for teachers.
