학교 수학의 궁극적인 목표는 “수학적 능력과 태도를 육성하는데 있다.” 이러한 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 수학의 기본적인 지식과 기능을 습득하는 일과 수학적으로 사고하는 능력을 기르는 일이 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다. 수학적 사고는 학교수학에서 지도되는 내용 그 자체에 관련된 것이 아니라 이들 수학을 수학내용을 이해하고 지식으로 획득하는 과정에서 행하여지는 수학적인 활동과 관련이 있다고 하겠다. 본고에서는 수학적인 활동의 방법적인 측면에서 귀납 추론, 연역 추론, 유비 추론에 대해서 개괄적으로 알아보고, 귀납 추론의 필요성 및 특성과 구체적인 적용 사례에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

본 연구는 유아기 교수-학습 방법에 대한 기초 이론과 수학교육에서의 교수-학습 방법에 대한 제안들을 근거로 유아에게 적절하고도 효과적인 수학 교수-학습 방법은 무엇인지를 알아보는 것이다. 이를 구성주의에 근거한 상호적 접근과 교수-학습을 위한 기타 제안들 그리고 활동중심의 통합적 접근으로 나누어 그 이론적 기초와 구체적인 적용방법에 대해 자세히 살펴보았다. 구성주의에 근거한 상호적 접근은 Piaget와 Vygotsky의 견해와 인지적 도제모형, 상황적 교수 모형, 그리고 인지적 유연성 이론의 세 가지를 포함하였고, 기타 제안들에는 NCTM, NAEYC, Schweinhart Perlmutter, Bloom & Burrell, 그리고 Althouse의 견해를 포함하였다. 그리고 활동중심의 통합적 접근은 수학적 개념 중심의 활동 통합교육과 활동 중심의 수학 통합교육으로 나누어 Web을 구성하고 적용하는 과정을 알아보았다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mathematics classes focused on mathematical problem posing activities on 10th grade students' mathematics achievement and affective characteristics of mathematics. This study was conducted in a total of 45 regular mathematics classrooms with 81 students from two classes through a nonequivalent control group design. The results of the study showed that the teaching method based on mathematical problem posing activities had a more positive effect on students' mathematics achievement and the affective characteristics of mathematics than the teaching method that focuses on problem solving. The teaching method based on problem posing activities proposed in this study could induce students' self-reflective learning motivation, which in turn gave them a more solid understanding of the mathematical concepts they had learned. In addition, it was found that students' problem solving ability, mathematical communication ability, and mathematical thinking ability were positively influenced by problem posing activities. Regarding the affective characteristics of mathematics, the mathematical problem-posing activity suggested in this study turned out to be a very effective strategy for improving students' interest in mathematics.

수학학습은 교과 수업시간을 통해서 뿐만 아니라, 자연과 문화 속에 내재된 수학적 원리와 법칙은 관찰이나 탐구를 통하여 습득하거나, 일상생활의 활동과 놀이를 통하여 수학적 개념 및 결과와 관련된 심상이 형성될 수도 있다. 따라서, 계획적으로 잘 구성된 놀이활동을 통하여 수학에 대한 흥미와 호기심을 유발하고, 사고의 유연성과 직관력을 경험하게 함으로써 교육현장에서 교사와 학습자간에 원활한 의사소통이 가능한 학습효과를 기대할 수 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 놀이 활동을 통하여 수학적 경험을 가능하게 하는 활동유형을 탐색하고, 수학의 본질이 잘 고려된 특기 ${\cdot}$ 적성교육 교수-학습 자료 개발 및 이를 활용한 교수-학습 모형을 제시하고자 한다.

$Poincar\acute{e}$ is mathematician and the episodes in his mathematical invention process give suggestions to scholars who have interest in how mathematical invention happens. He emphasizes the value of unconscious activity. Furthermore, $Poincar\acute{e}$ points the complementary relation between unconscious activity and conscious activity. Also, $Poincar\acute{e}$ emphasizes the value of intuition and logic. In general, intuition is tool of invention and gives the clue of mathematical problem solving. But logic gives the certainty. $Poincar\acute{e}$ points the complementary relation between intuition and logic at the same reasons. In spite of the importance of relation between intuition and logic, school mathematics emphasized the logic. So students don't reveal and use the intuitive thinking in mathematical problem solving. So, we have to search the methods to use the complementary relation between intuition and logic in mathematics education.

The purpose of this study was to provide useful information for teachers by analyzing mathematical communication emphasized through 'exploratory activity' and 'story corner' in elementary textbooks based on the revised curriculum. Two classrooms from the first grade and second grade respectively were observed and videotaped. Mathematical communication of each classroom was analyzed in terms of questioning, explaining, and the sources of mathematical ideas. The results showed that only one classroom focused on students' thinking processes and explored their ideas, whereas the other classrooms focused mainly on finding answer. Particularly, this tendency often appeared when implementing 'story corner' than 'exploratory activity'. The reason for this was inferred that teachers were not familiar with teaching mathematics in stories and that teachers' manual did not include concrete questions and students' expected responses. This paper included implications on how to promote mathematical communication specifically in lower grades in elementary school.

본 연구는 객체지향형 교육용 프로그래밍 언어인 두리틀(Dolittlee)을 수학교수-학습에 활용하기 위한 연구의 일부이다. 본 논문에서는 세 명의 고등학교 1학년 학생을 대상으로 7차 교육과정상의 중등 함수단원을 중심으로 함수의 그래프에 대한 두리틀 프로그래밍 활동을 안내적 교수법으로 진행하고 그 결과를 분석하여, 두리틀 프로그래밍 활동이 함수의 개념 형성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고 컴퓨터 친밀도와 수학적 성향이 프로그래밍 학습에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 관하여 고찰하였다. 연구 결과, 두리틀을 이용한 함수의 그래프 그리기 활동은 학생들에게 함수의 기본 개념과 그래프의 성질을 이해하는데 효과적이었으며, 두리틀 프로그래밍 탐구 활동에 있어 학생들의 수학 성취도보다는 수학에 대한 긍정적인 성향과 컴퓨터와의 높은 친밀도가 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze mathematical errors and the effects of reflective problem posing activities on students' mathematical problem solving abilities and attitudes toward mathematics. We chose two 5th grade groups (experimental and control groups) to conduct this research. From the results of this study, we obtained the following conclusions. First, reflective problem posing activities are effective in improving students' problem solving abilities. Students could use extended capability of selecting a condition to address the problem to others in the activities. Second, reflective problem posing activities can improve students' mathematical willpower and promotes reflective thinking. Reflective problem posing activities were conducted before and after the six areas of mathematics. Also, we examined students' mathematical attitudes of both the experimental group and the control group about self-confidence, flexibility, willpower, curiosity, mathematical reflection, and mathematical value. In the reflective problem posing group, students showed self check on their problems solving activities and participated in mathematical discussions to communicate with others while participating mathematical problem posing activities. We suggested that reflective problem posing activities should be included in the development of mathematics curriculum and textbooks.

This study is the field of mathematics education on the assumption that they can extend outside the classroom. Recent mathematics education is increasing the importance of field experience and various activities based on real-life math education. Thus, it is necessary to consider this situation in pre-service teacher's education. The purpose of this study is to apply the 'Mathematics Field Trips Activities' in the pre-mathematics teacher education. So the specific case of 'Mathematics Field Trips Activities' was analyzed. Mathematics teachers conducted preliminary exploration activities on the historical cultural property which were effective in the following four aspects. First, cognitive effects and second, definitive effect. Third, cultural-mathematical effect. Fourth, the effect on improving math class. Finally they were summarized and divided into classes target content knowledge and teaching knowledge both sides. As a result, the 'Mathematics Field Trips Activities' were found to have significant effects on pre-service math teacher. Finally, ongoing research is needed to settle into a new teaching and learning methods.

The purpose of this study is to develop the number puzzle program and the mathematical creativity test and to analyze the effects of the mathematical creativity and the creative attitude in mathematics. To accomplish this aim, the six-grade students elementary school of thirty-six participated and this students participated Magic square, Sudoku, KenKen Puzzle activities in to the morning activity time for 30 minutes every morning and the pre-test of before activity and the post-test of after activity were collected. The number puzzle activity helps improve the mathematical creativity and the creative attitude in mathematics of the elementary school students and improve the mathematical creativity of for female students rather than for male students.
