There were a lot of attempt to reform mathematics education. These may include reforms of teaching and learning methods, development of mathematics curriculum and textbooks, materials and resources for teaching. But the most important thing is reform of teaching and learning method. The teaching and learning in mathematics is related with culture of mathematics classroom. Thus the culture of mathematics classroom plays a critical role in the learning of mathematics. Although there is consensus what desirable culture of mathematics classroom is, the role of teachers is important to make desirable culture of mathematics classroom. So, this paper suggested the role of teachers in reforming the culture of mathematics classroom. Avoiding from routine and technical teaching, the teachers should play active role in constructing mathematical understanding of students.

The goal of this study is to present essential methods of minimalizing Korean populism in our society through the investigation of relations between populism and mathematical education which people don't easily recognize. We made a thorough analysis on the populism-generating elements and then presented mathematical methods which could convert micro-way of thinking into macro-one. We believe that an explicit investigation of the relations between Korean populism and mathematical education and the ensuing appropriate role-setting of mathematical education would help secure an essential solution for minimalizing populism in our society.

In early 21st century, universities in Korea has been asked the new roles according to the changes of educational and social environment. With Korea's NURI and Brain Korea 21 project support, some chosen research oriented universities now should produce "teacher of teachers". We look 100 years back America's mathematics and see many resemblances between the status of US mathematics at that time and the current status of Korean mathematics, and find some answer for that. E. H. Moore had produced many good research mathematicians through his laboratory teaching techniques. R. L. Moore was his third PhD students. He developed his Texas/Moore method. In this article, we analyze what R. L. Moore had done through his American School of Topology and Moore method. We consider the meaning that early University of Texas case gives us in PBL(Problem Based Learning) process.

수학 교육에서 새로운 정보기술의 교육적 사용의 범위는 커지고 교육 모형은 다양해지고 있다. 특히 중등 수학교육에서의 변화에 대한 기대도 커지고 있다. 본 논문은 미국 및 한국의 수학 교육계의 폭넓은 지지를 받는 NCTM의 컴퓨터 및 정보기술 활용에 관한 규준들의 교육적 의미, 방법, 효용 등을 정리하였다. 이어서 컴퓨터과학 교과과정에 포함된 수학 분야에 대한 컴퓨터과학자 Hamming의 견해를 소개하였다. 본 논문은 한국의 중등 교육에도 컴퓨터과학 교과가 시행될 것을 예정하면서 수학 교사들이 미리 컴퓨터과학을 교과과정을 이해함으로 통합 교과적 요소, 특성 그리고 역할 관계를 알아보았다.

The focus of gifted education program for math should not only be on how to select gifted students but also on how to magnify students' potential ability. This thesis supports Vygotsky's view, which provides an insight into gifted education field as an 'acquired giftedness' theory. The issues in this thesis suggest proper classroom models for current gifted education program together with moderate classroom atmosphere and optimum role of teachers.

초등학교 6학년을 대상으로 6회 총 120분 동안 1996을 활용해서 1에서 100까지 수를 만들게 하는 활동을 한 결과를 제시하고 분석하였다. 이 퍼즐 과제 활동은 아이들의 수학적 사고를 많이 향상시켰으며, 수학적 성향을 강화시켰다. 특히, 이 과제에서 아이들은 협동의 이점을 알게 되었고 수학적 의사소통의 중요성도 경험하는 계기가 되었다. 무엇보다도 지수, 제곱근, 가우스 함수의 아이디어가 먼저 제시되고, 후속학습이 일어났다. 계산기가 어떻게 활용되어야 하는지에 대한 아이디어도 제공했다.

최근 수학교육에서는 의사소통이 매우 강조되고 있다. 이는 수학적 대상에 대해 학생들이 읽고, 쓰고, 서로 토론하는 기회를 가짐으로써 (1) 학생의 입장에서는 자신의 사고를 명확히 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 서로의 아이디어를 자극 ${\cdot}$공유함으로서 학습활동을 강화할 수 있으며, (2) 교사의 입장에서는 학생들이 생각하고 있는 것에 대한 정보를 파악함으로써 교수의 질적 개선에 기여할 수 있기 때문이다. 본고에서는 수학교육에 있어서 의사소통의 방법, 의사소통에 있어서 교사의 역할, 의사소통의 지도 방안에 대해서 개괄적으로 알아보고자 한다.

In this paper, the mathematical knowledges in higher education which are capable of improving the ability of the problem, scientific techniques and creativity are pinpointed as crucial necessary conditions for the development of the Engineering and Natural Science Sections. It is stressed most of all that the mixed evaluation of mathematics in college entrance examination is the main culprit to the crisis of these sections and thus the strengthening of the mathematics education is vital to the section. Also, another role of mathematical education for these sections is introduced.
