This study examined the effect and structural relationship of math teachers' teaching ability and class activity types on learners' value perception, confidence, and interest of mathematics at the student level and teacher level. To this end, data from 2nd graders of korea middle school in TIMSS 2019 were applied to the multilevel structural equation model. As a result of the analysis, the teaching ability of math teachers had a positive effect on value perception, confidence, and interest of mathematics at the student level and teacher level. Also, math value perception and math confidence had a positive effect on math interest. and it was confirmed that the teaching ability of math teachers indirectly had a positive effect on math interest by mediating math value perception and math confidence. In addition, the math class activity of applying what was learned to problems had a positive effect on math value perception, but it had a negative effect on math interest. and the class activity of the same ability group had a positive effect on math confidence and math interest. This study presents meaningful implications for math classes in the school field through a multilevel analysis of the student level and the teacher level.

학교수학의 내용 중에는 수학적으로 깊은 의미를 가지고 있지만, 교실수업에서는 자명한 것으로 취급되어 그 중요성이 간과되고 있는 것이 있다. 본 연구에서는 원주율의 값이 상수라는 익숙한 사실을 그 구체적인 예로 들어 수학적 의미를 재음미하는 한편, 아르키메데스가 원주율을 계산한 방법 속에서 교육적 시사점을 찾아 탐구주제로서의 원주율의 가치를 부각시키고자 한다.

The purpose of the present study is to find out some implications from comparing mathematical education of Israel and Singapore. This study examined what values are represented in schooling of both Israel and Singapore and what factors are influencing mathematics teacher education of both countries. Education in Israel and Singapore plays a significant role for the survival of the nation and economic success, and the education system is focused on elitism, especially in terms that they have selective system of students and restrictive exams from the elementary school level. The educational system in both countries provides students with little opportunities for social mobility, because students from the low SES families are not equally exposed to educational facilities and experiences. The results of this study imply that the critical factor affecting students achievement in Israel and Singapore seems to be the quality of teacher education system and the quality of teachers. In particular, it seems that we need to be very careful of uncritically adopting mathematical ideas from both Israel and Singapore, because they both have very different contexts of educational goals, educational policies, racial and cultural factors from Korea.

수학교육에서 학생들이 학습을 통하여 습득하여할 중요한 주제는 수학 지식과 수학을 다루는 인지적 조작 기술일 것이다. 특히 수학지식과 지식의 활용은 문제해결을 통한 학습에서 의미 있게 학생에게 나타나며 이를 통하여 수학 학습 동기를 강화하고 수학의 가치를 느끼게 한다는 점에서 중요한 의의를 갖는다. 대학수준의 수학교육과정에서도 문제해결은 중요한 수학교육의 중심 수단으로서 목적으로서 선언되어 있지만 실제 수업에서 잘 다루고 있지 못하다. 문제해결 지도에 대한 접근 방식으로 1950년대의 문제해결전략을 다룬 Polya, 1990년대의 메타인지적 접근을 강조한 Schoenfeld 및 최근의 여러 연구자들의 활발한 연구가 이어지고 있다. 본 논문에서 대학 수준의 문제해결 수업의 접근 방법을 소개함으로 문제해결 수업을 구현할 수 있는 지식을 제공한다. 특히 Schoenfeld의 문제해결 수업 모델은 수학 교육의 교실 수업으로의 구현 측면에서 갖는 다양한 함의를 제시한다.

Mathematical creativity in school mathematics is connected with problem solving. The purpose of this study was to analyse elementary students' the mathematical creativity using multiple solution tasks which required to solve a mathematical problem in different ways. For this research, I examined and analyzed the response to four multiple solution tasks according to the evaluation system of mathematical creativity which consisted of the factors of creativity(fluency, flexibility, originality). The finding showed that mathematical creativity was different between students with greater clarity. And mathematical creativity in tasks was different. So I questioned the possibility of analysis of students' the mathematical creativity in mathematical areas. According to the evaluation system of mathematical creativity of this research, mathematical creativity was proportional to the fluency. But the high fluency and flexibility was decreasing originality because it was easy for students to solve multiple solution tasks in the same ways. So, finding of this research can be considered to make the criterion in both originality in rare and mathematical aspects.

The purpose of this study is to explore the qualitative characteristics of pre-service teachers' motivation while they are participating in group activities for developing mathematical essay assessment problem and revising it. For this purpose, we analyzed individual factors about group learning activities as well as contextual factors about practical competency (in developing and revising mathematical essay assessment problem through collecting data of student responses to the problem). As results of data analyses, autonomy, among individual factors regarding group learning activities, was one of the main characteristics in attainment value, utility value, and intrinsic value, whereas task, authority, and grouping, among contextual factors regarding practical competency, appeared to have a positive impact on task value. These results suggest how to think of specific ideas and articulate them in designing a curriculum to develop student-evaluation expertise for pre-service teachers.

If students can use mathematics to solve their problems and learn the mathematical knowledge through it, they may think mathematics useful and valuable. This study is for the teaching through problem solving in mathematics education, which I consider in terms of the problem-based learning and mathematical modeling. 1 think mathematical modeling is applied to teaching mathematics as a problem-based learning. So I developed the teaching model, and showed the example that students learn the formal and hierarchic mathematics through mathematical modeling.

Euclid's elements have been recognized as a significant textbook in mathematics and mathematics education because of importance of its contents and methodology. This study discussed how the elements is connected with understanding of math textbooks in elementary school, trying to reveal the value for teacher training. First, when details in elementary textbooks were considered in aspect of elements, the importance of elements was illustrated with the purpose of understanding contents of elementary school by examining educational implications. In addition, the study discussed the value of the elements as the place for teachers and would-be teachers to experience math system.

21C 사회는 실생활의 많은 현상들과 문제들을 수학적으로 해결하기 위한 능력을 요구하고 있다. 따라서, 21C가 요구하는 수학교육의 역할도 실생활에서 접하는 현상 또는 문제들의 수학적 모델을 구성하여 해를 구하고, 그 결과를 실생활에 비추어 해석하는 경험을 제공하고 그 능력을 발전시키는 것을 포함한다고 하겠다. 따라서, 본 연구는 수학적 모델링이 수학에 대한 사회적 요구를 달성할 수 있는 효과적인 하나의 방법이 될 것이라는 믿음을 가지고, 수학적 모델링 활동을 중학교 수학 교육의 중심 제재인 함수의 지도에 활용하기 위한 구체적 실천방안을 논의한다. 이를 위해 연구문제를 '1. 일선 수학 교사들은 수학적 모델링의 개념을 어느 정도 파악하고 있으며 그 활용가치와 활용 가능성에 대해 어떻게 판단하고 있는가?', '2. 중학교 함수 영역의 수학적 모델링 수행 과제와 그에 따른 구체적 평가 기준안을 개발한다.’로 설정하고, 연구문제 1을 해결하기 위해 임의로 선택된 서울과 경기도의 현직 수학교사 47명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 연구문제 2를 해결하기 위해서는 설문결과에서 얻은 현장의 요구를 바탕으로 중학교 함수 영역의 수학적 모델링 수행과제와 구체적인 평가 기준안을 개발한 후, 개발된 과제와 평가 기준안은 현직교사 3인의 자문을 얻어 내용 타당도와 신뢰도를 검증하였다.

The content of this study is based on the history of mathematics. Science (S) is related to the 24 divisions of the year, the height of the sun, the movement of heavenly bodies. Technology (T) is related to the exploration with graphic calculators. Engineering (E) is related to design sundial and research on the design principles. Art (A) is related to literature review about mathematical history, the understanding of the value of the mathematics. Mathematics (M) is related to the trigonometric functions. We have considered that Project-Based Learning is proper teaching and learning for STEAM education, we have designed the STEAM PBL and analysed the results focused on the developing integrative knowledge, mathematical attitude including mathematical value, the competencies of 21 century. The result of this study is as follows. We find that STEAM education activates students' collaboration, communication skills and improves representation and critical thinking skills. Also STEAM education makes positive changes of students' mathematical attitudes including the values of the mathematics.
