Word problems can lead learners to more meaningfully learn mathematics by providing learners with various problem-solving experiences and guiding them to apply mathematical knowledge to the context. This study attempted to provide implications for the textbook writing and teaching and learning process by examining the word problem of elementary mathematics textbooks from the perspective of practical context. The word problem of elementary mathematics textbooks was examined, and elementary mathematics textbooks in the United States and Finland were referenced to find specific alternatives. As a result, when setting an unnatural context or subject to the word problem in elementary mathematics textbooks, artificial numbers were inserted or verbal expressions and illustrations were presented unclearly. In this case, it may be difficult for learners to recognize the context of the word problem as separate from real life or to solve the problem by understanding the content required by the word problem. In the future, it is necessary to organize various types of word problems in practical contexts, such as setting up situations in consideration of learners in textbooks, actively using illustrations and diagrams, and organizing verbal expressions and illustrations more clearly.

This study was performed to investigate the pedagogical knowledge of pre-service teachers and to explore the possibility of using Lesson Play in pre-service teacher education. Lesson Play refers to a lesson written in script form, featuring imagined interactions between a teacher and his/her students. The participants of this study were 20 pre-service teachers enrolled in mathematics education at a University in Seoul and they conducted a dialogue between a teacher and students who said that 91 is a prime number and 462 is a multiple number of 4. Conclusions were drawn based on the virtual scripts of pre-service teachers. First, it was found that the teaching strategies of pre-service teachers were not diverse. Second, pre-service teachers mainly explained the mathematical principles and concepts. Third, pre-service teachers could not understand the current state of students. Therefore, Lesson Play is helpful to analyse the pedagogical knowledge of pre-service teachers and is a applicable teaching method that can improve the practical knowledge of pre-service teachers.

The purpose of this research was to confirm one of constructivists' assumptions that even children 조o are with low reasoning ability can make reflective abstracting ability and cognitive structures by this ability can make generation ability of new knowledge by themselves. To investigate the assumption, learner-centered instruction were implemented to 2nd grade classroom located in Suseong Gu, DaeGu City and with lesson plans which initially were developed by Burns and corrected by the researchers. Recordings videoed using 2 video cameras, observations, instructions, children's activity worksheets, instruction journals were analyzed using multiple tests for qualitative analysis. Some conclusions are drawn from the results. First, even children with low reasoning ability can construct mathematical knowledge on multiplication in their own. ways, Thus, teachers should not compel them to learn a learning lesson's goals which is demanded in traditional instruction, with having belief they have reasoning ability. Second, teachers need to have the perspectives of respects out of each child in their classroom and provide some materials which can provoke children's cognitive conflict and promote thinking with the recognition of effectiveness of learner-centered instruction. Third, students try to develop their ability of reflective and therefore establish cognitive structures such as webs, not isolated and fragmental ones.

Nowadays there are presented various educational methods based on Constructivism which is regarded as newest epistemological paradigm about Knowledge and knowing, but none which is dramatically new. The educational methods proposed by the advocates of Constructivism are already put in practice by the teachers that are interested. Following this, we will interpret R. Skemp's theory about educational methods based on Constructivism. Here we will introduce various play activities for building number concepts.

Recently, many companies have started to manage and support CoPs formally at the organizational level because of strategic usability of CoP. These companies are also seeking ways to motivate CoP members to actively participate in their groups. Accordingly, this paper proposes one way of increasing CoP activities by rearranging CoP members. In practice, active CoP members often lead their groups. Therefore, rearranging members can, eventually, be one method to motivate more individuals to participate in CoP activities. This paper first suggests a new approach in order to improve knowledge sharing activities at the organizational level based on rearranging members of current CoPs. Second, a mathematical model is presented which maximizes total BLS (Balanced Level Score) of company A with several constraints. Then a real world problem is changed to a popular problem, VRP to solve this problem. Third, the solution program was developed to find a meaningful solution.

수학적 지식과 능력을 활용하여 생활 주변의 여러 가지 문제를 해결하는 능력의 신장이야말로 수학교육의 목표이자, 수학 학습의 근본적인 이유가 된다. 그러나 문제해결 능력이 가장 많이 필요한 문장제 문제해결과, 문제 푸는 방법 찾기 단원을 학생들은 해결하기 어려워한다. 다른 단원보다 명확하게 식을 찾을 수 있는 연산 문제들과 다르고, 책에 제시되어 있는 방법을 쉽게 사용을 하지 못하며. 그 문제의 의미를 이해하지 못한다. 그래서 문제를 푸는데 즐거움을 느끼지 못한다. 이에 본 연구는 문제 푸는 방법 찾기 단원을 중심으로 문제해결 능력 신장을 위한 교수 학습 시스템 설계를 목적으로 학습의 과정별, 특성별, 연계별 학습 내용을 고려하여 학년 통합, 내용 통합하여 재구성하였다. 그리고 교수-학습 모듈, 평가 모듈, 상호작용 모듈로 시스템을 구성하였다. 시공간의 제약을 극복하여 학습자들의 수준에 적합한 개별화 학습을 제공하고, 웹을 이용한 문제 만들기 활동을 통하여 학습에 자신감을 기르고, 또한, 자기주도적 학습 능력을 향상시키는 계기가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Jim Libby(2000)는 임의의 M&M 밀크 쵸코렛 봉지에서 꺼낸 것을 다시 집어넣지 않고 3개의 쵸코렛을 꺼낼 때 같은 색이 나올 확률을 계산하는 방법의 논문을 썼다. Libby는 그의 논문에서 갈색, 노랑, 빨강, 주황, 초록, 파랑의 6개 색의 M&M 밀크 쵸코렛들이 똑같은 비율로 분포되었다고 가정하였다. 그러나 실제로 M&M 쵸코렛의 여섯 가지 색깔의 확률분포는 똑같은 비율이 아니다. M&M회사는 홈페이지(http://www.m-ms.com/cai/mms/faq.html)를 통해 실제적인 6개 색의 M&M 밀크 쵸코렛들의 분포는 갈색이 30%, 노랑과 빨간색이 각각 20% 주황, 초록과 파랑은 각각 10%의 분포라고 밝히고 있다. 이 논문에서 우리는 Libby가 생각하였던 문제를 실제적인 6개 색의 M&M 밀크 쵸코렛들의 확률 분표에 의거하여 다시 생각해보며, 또한 3개의 쵸코렛대신 n개의 쵸코렛을 꺼낸다고 가정하여 더욱 일반적인 결론을 유도한다. 또한 유도한 이 정확한 확률 공식과 근사 공식을 활동을 통해 점검하고 학생들이 주도적으로 지금까지 배워온 이론들을 점검할 수 있게 하였다. 활동을 시작하기 전에 정확한 확률 공식과 근사 공식과의 관계를 설명하고 기본적인 확률과 통계의 개념을 다시 정립할 수 있도록 하였다. Piaget가 '지식이란 학습자에 의해 능동적으로 구성되는 것이지 환경으로부터 수동적으로 받아들이는 것은 아니다'라고 했듯이, 활동을 통한 학습은 학생들을 능동적으로 만들기 때문에 학생들이 지식을 구성해 갈 수 있다. 활동을 간단히 소개하면 다음과 같다. 활동I에서는 초코렛을 세어서 근사 확률을 추정하는 방법이 소개된다. 어떻게 매개변수가 두 공식에 관련이 되는지를 측정하고 두 공식을 사용하여 정확한 확률과 근사 확률을 계산하여 비교해본다. 각 조원들과 이 세 과정에서 무엇을 배웠나 토론하고 다른 조들과 배운 것을 나눈다. 활동II는 두 과정으로 나누어진다. 첫 번 과정은 각 그룹의 한 학생이 주어진 쵸코렛 봉지에서 3개의 쵸코렛을 꺼낸다. 다른 학생은 표 3에 나온 결과를 기록한다. 계속하여 20번씩 한다. 다시 학생을 바꾸어 20번 계속한다. 같은 색깔의 쵸코렛이 나온 확률은 계산하기 위한 간단한 실험이고 두 번째 과정은 각 조가 웹사이트나 선생님으로부터 제공받은 프로그램을 다운로드 받아 하는 시뮬레이션이다. 이 실험 후에 학생들이 이 두 활동을 통해 무엇을 배웠는지 토론해보고 또 두 활동을 비교해 볼 수 있다. 마지막으로 M&M 쵸코렛을 먹는 것으로 활동을 마칠 수 있을 것이다. 활동 II에 나오는 두 시뮬레이션은 학생들이 수학 이론의 힘을 깨달을 뿐 아니라 수학 교실에서 큰 재미를 느끼게 될 것이다. 이 논문에서 그래픽 계산기로 할 수 있는 프로그램을 소개하였다.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze changes to the middle school mathematics textbooks of third mathematics curriculum period and seventh mathematics curriculum period. This study put the math curricula from the third to the sixth one in third mathematics curriculum period as those math curricula witnessed the maintenance of industrial society paradigm. And then it put the math curricula from the seventh one to current the 2009 revised mathematics curriculum in seventh mathematics curriculum period as the knowledge-based information society paradigm has continued throughout those math curricula. Based on those period categories, We compared and analyzed changes of the middle school math textbooks. For the comparison and analysis of math textbooks between the two periods, this study set the unit organization system, unit goal, task type and content development approach as analysis elements in the unit of 'Nature of Figures' in the second grade math textbooks for middle school. As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the textbooks of the two periods had many changes in the unit organization system, but the unit goal, task type, and content development approach stayed in low level goals and task type that require conceptual and procedural.

Several previous studies suggested that simulation could be a main didactic instrument in overcoming misconception and probability modeling. However, they have not described enough how to reorganize probability knowledge as knowledge to be taught in a curriculum using simulation. The purpose of this study is to identify the theoretical knowledge needed in developing a didactic transposition method of probability knowledge using simulation. The theoretical knowledge needed to develop this method was specified as follows : pseudo-contextualization/pseudo-personalization, and pseudo-decontextualization/pseudo-deper-sonalization according to the introductory purposes of simulation. As a result, this study developed a local instruction theory and an hypothetical learning trajectory for overcoming misconceptions and modeling situations respectively. This study summed up educational intention, which was designed to transform probability knowledge into didactic according to the introductory purposes of simulation, into curriculum, lesson plans, and experimental teaching materials to present didactic ideas for new probability education programs in the high school probability curriculum.

A formal name of the college scholastic ability test of China is P$\check{u}$tongg$\bar{a}$od$\check{e}$ngxu$\acute{e}$xi$\grave{a}$o zh$\bar{a}$osh$\bar{e}$ng Qu$\acute{a}$ngu$\acute{o}$ t$\check{o}$ngy$\bar{i}$k$\check{a}$osh$\grave{i}$(普通高等學校初生全國統一考試), abbreviated to Gaokao(高考). Gaokao is very similar to Korea's College Scholastic Ability Test in that the two exams are measuring test-taker's knowledge and ability included in highschool curriculum and that they are the selective examinations which persons with at least a high school diploma or the equivalent apply for. Therefore, helpful implications for College Scholastic Ability Test of Korea can be drawn from the study of assessment contents and construction of mathematics in Gaokao.
