본 연구는 이강섭 ${\cdot}$ 황동주 ${\cdot}$ 서종진(2003)의 개방형적인 접근의 수학 창의성 반응에 따라 수학적 자기효능감의 차이를 조사한 것이다. 수학적 자기효능감이 높다고 하더라도 독창성이나 창의성에서는 낮은 점수를 받은 학생이 있으며, 수학적 자기효능감이 낮은 학생일지라도 유창성에서는 높게 나타나는 경우가 있다. 그러므로 수학 창의성은 수학적 자기 효능감과는 다른 특별한 능력이고 수학 창의성 중에서 유창성은 아마 동기 능력과 관련이 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수학 창의성 교수학습 방법을 개발하는데 있어 인지적인 요인뿐만 아니라 동기적인 요인도 포함하여 개발하여야 할 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 예비 초등교사의 수학 수업에 대한 자기효능감을 조사함으로써 예비 교사를 위한 수학 교육프로그램 개선에 도움이 되고자 하는데 있다. 기존의 문헌 분석에 의하면 수업에 대한 교사들의 자기효능감은 수업 수행 능력과 학생들의 학습에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려졌다. 뿐만 아니라 최근 우리가 지향하고 있는 교사들에 대한 학습자 중심 수학 수업으로의 개선과 변화된 수업 방식의 지속성에 매우 유효한 요인이 된다. 예비 초등교사들을 대상으로 한 본 연구 결과에 의하면 이들의 수학 수업에 대한 자기효능감은 보통의 수준에 머물러 있으며, 특히 상당수의 예비 교사들은 자신의 수학 수업에 대한 자신감이 매우 부족한 것으로 들어났다. 이러한 결과는 아마도 현재 교육대학교에서 예비 교사들에게 제공하는 수학 교육과 관련된 과목을 수강할 수 있는 기회가 매우 제한적인 데서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있으며, 이는 또한 수학 교육 프로그램의 초점이 예비 교사들의 수학 수업 능력의 측면에 초점이 맞추어져야 한다는 것을 시사한다. 예비 교사들의 수학 수업에 대한 자기 효능감은 그들이 이해하고 있는 수학 교수법적 지식과 매우 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to examine the differences in the longitudinal relationship between academic stress, mathematics self-efficacy, and engagement in mathematics class according to the math achievement level. According to the results, academic stress, math self-efficacy, and math class engagement were stable over time for the high and low groups. Also, In the high group, math self-efficacy had a negative longitudinal mediation effect in the influence of academic stress to math class engagement. Whereas, in the low group math class engagement had a positive longitudinal mediation effect in the influence of academic stress to math self-efficacy. This means that the academic stress affects differently according to the math achievement level, and mathematics teachers should reflect these results in their teaching/learning strategies so that students can increase their mathematics self-efficacy along with their engagement in mathematics classes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of teaching methods among elementary school math teachers in terms of student achievement in examinations. Results are based upon data from two elementary schools. The evaluation criteria of fifteen items was modified from Ryang's original MTEBI sixteen items to measure elementary school teachers' math teaching efficacy. The result of this study could be summarized as follows. The students were divided into two groups according to teaching efficiency: higher teaching efficiency and lower teaching efficiency. A comparison of math tests taken by students from these groups demonstrates a significant statistical difference. Students with teachers in the lower efficiency group are likely to under-perform. In consequence, teachers' self-efficiency in math is considered to affect students' learning achievement in mathematics.

This study aims to examine the effects of learner-centered mathematical instruction perceived by middle school students such as discussion learning, self-directed learning, and cooperative learning on their math self-efficacy and engagement in mathematics class. Moreover, it attempts to verify if there are differences in the mean of latent variables and effect among groups divided based on achievement level. Research results are as follows. First, discussion learning did not have a direct effect on students' engagement in mathematics class, but still created an indirect effect on it through math self-efficacy. Self-directed learning and cooperative learning created a direct effect on engagement in mathematics class as well as an indirect effect through self-efficacy on mathematics. Second, high-achievement group had a higher perception of discussion learning, self-directed learning, and cooperative learning than a low-achievement group, and showed a higher level of math self-efficacy and engagement in mathematics class. Third, there were significant differences among groups, in the effect of discussion learning on self-efficacy in mathematics, effect of self-directed learning on self-efficacy in mathematics, and effect of math self-efficacy on engagement in mathematics class. Thus, this study offers meaningful implications for the role of math teachers as assistants in learning for learner-centered math classes.

This study examines the effects of reflective journal writing on the mathematics self-efficacy in reciprocal peer tutoring. Participants were 38 high school students in Gyeonggi province who attended at a summer intensive mathematics course for 4 weeks. This study used a mixed method. SPSS 21.0 program was used to analyze the quantitative data, and the interviews, observational journals and reflective journals of 6 students were used to analyze qualitative data. According to the results, all the subcategories of mathematics self-efficacy, - mathematics problem-efficacy, mathematics success-efficacy, mathematics learning-efficacy, and mathematics subject-efficacy - improved except mathematics occupation-efficacy. In case of mathematics success-efficacy and mathematics problem-efficacy, students revealed the greatest improvement. In conclusion, reflective journal writing in reciprocal peer tutoring could be suggested as a treatment program to improve students' mathematics self-efficacy.

Teacher efficacy influences teacher's own behaviors in class and students outcomes such as achievement, motivation and their own self-efficacy. In recent years, self efficacy and teacher efficacy are becoming more popular in many educational aspects. Teacher efficacy depends on him/her and each tasks and goals. Therefore, we need special instrument for measuring mathematics teacher efficacy. On this study, we derived educationally meaningful factors on mathematics teacher efficacy from previous literature. We developed Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Instrument(MTEI) consisted of 30 items with 6-point Likert scale. The six factors are as follows; mathematics teaching efficacy expectancy, mathematics teaching outcome expectancy, mathematics teaching content knowledge, teacher belief on their own students, the past mathematics learning experience for teacher own, influence from social-cultural environment.

The purpose of this study is, targeting 5th and 6th grades mathematically gifted elementary students, to analyze the effect of independent study project learning on self-directed learning ability and mathematical self-efficacy, and based on the results, examine the implications that independent study project learning has in special education for the gifted. In order to solve the study problems, 5th grade mathematically gifted elementary students(40) and 6th grade mathematically gifted elementary students(39) who had passed the selection criteria of D education institute for the gifted and had been receiving special education for the gifted were selected. The study results are as below. First, although self-directed learning ability had no significant difference at p<0.05, it statistically had some differences in averages between pre-test and post-test results. Second, although mathematical self-efficacy had no significant difference at p<0.05, it statistically had some differences in averages between pre-test and post-test results. Third, in the aspects of self-directed learning ability and mathematical self-efficacy, independent study project learning had a more positive effect on 5th grade mathematically gifted elementary students than 6th grade mathematically gifted elementary students. In addition, it had significant differences in 'the level of mathematical tasks', a sub-level of mathematical self-efficacy, and 'the openness of learning', 'the initiative of learning', and 'a sense of responsibility for learning', sub-levels of self-directed learning ability. These results imply that independent study project learning has a positive effect on self-directed learning ability and mathematical self-efficacy of mathematically gifted elementary students so that it could be meaningfully used as a teaching method for special education for the gifted at educational sites of independent study project learning.
