In vocational high schools, mathematics classes aims to improve students' mathematics-applying ability as the employ ability. However, these classes are based on the national curriculum of mathematics likewise general high schools. In this study, we develop and present the materials of teaching and learning mathematics for teachers and students in vocational high schools. We analyze the Test for Enhanced Employ Ability and Upgraded Proficiency (TEENUP) and 2015 revised national curriculum of mathematics, and consider how teachers can use this curriculum to enhance employ ability. As a result, materials of teaching and learning mathematics should be developed in terms of use of curriculum based on teachers' didactical understanding. Moreover, we present the developed materials as examples reflecting on the framework of TEENUP and connecting the 2015 revised national curriculum of mathematics. Based on these results, we draw some recommendations for applying and developing material of teaching and learning mathematics.

Spatial ability has been valued as one component of intelligence and associated with the achievements in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and important in STEM education. The purpose of this study is to assess elementary school students' spatial ability and analyze the relationship with mathematical achievement, gender and grade level. This study explored the spatial visualization ability of 1288 elementary school students (grade 4-6) in Seoul and Gangwon province and investigated association between spatial ability and students' mathematics achievement, the students' spatial ability according to their gender and grade level. As a result, this study showed that there were significant correlations between spatial ability and mathematical achievement. And also, boy students were better than girl students in spatial ability and higher grader were better than lower graders in spatial ability. According to these results, spatial ability should be included as one of the important components in identifying students for gifted education programs. Furthermore, more research is needed on how to effectively structure educational opportunities to students both who have high spatial ability and have low spatial ability.

최근 들어, 갈수록 다양화 ${\cdot}$ 다기화 되어 가는 사회 상황은 우리로 하여금 끊임없는 선택을 하도록 요구하고 있으며, 그것은 다시 깊고 넓은 생각을 하도록 요구하고 있다. 또한 사회 변화의 가속화와 경쟁의 첨예화는 우리로 하여금 그 선택과 그에 따른 생각을 보다 신중하고 현명하게 하도록 요구하고 있다. 이에 따라, 초등수학교육에서도 사고력 신장을 위한 수업방법의 필요성을 역설하고 있다. 따라서, 본고는 아동들이 수학수업에서 사고력 신장을 위한 수업 방법을 탐색해 봄으로써, 아동의 능력을 강화하고, 아동의 인지발달을 촉진하며, 개인의 지식 수준을 향상시키고자 한다.

급변하고 있는 정보화시대애서 수학교육은 예전의 암기식, 주입식에서 벗어나 새롭게 변화될 필요가 있다. 컴퓨터 매체가 수학교육에 도입된 결과 수학 내용과 수학을 이해하는 방법, 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습 방법을 변화시키고 있으며 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습이 일어나는 사회 ${\cdot}$ 문화적 환경을 변화시키고 있다. 학생들이 컴퓨터 테크놀러지를 이용해 수학적 이해를 얻고 수학적 힘을 길러 의사소통자, 문제해결자가 되도록 도와야 한다. 또한 실생활적인 맥락에서 상황화되는 중요한 아이디어를 동시에 가르침으로써 효율성을 성취하고 내용적 과잉을 극복하고 새 수학의 혁신, 다양성, 연속적 성장을 체계적으로 지지해야 한다. 이 글에서는 학생들의 개념적 이해와 문제해결을 돕기 위해 테크놀러지의 역할을 조명해보고 DERIVE(TI-92)를 이용한 수학 학습 예시를 제시하고자 한다.

Mathematical, verbal, and spatial abilities are known as three important indicators for the success in the STEM disciplines. In this study, Purdue Spatial Visualization Test-Rotation, College Entrance Scholastic Aptitude Test- Math and Verbal score of engineering freshmen students have been used to find the relationships among these areas. In addition, gender differences in spatial visualization, verbal achievement and mathematical achievement have been investigated, too. In this research, I found that gender difference was highest in spatial visualization ability, followed by verbal achievement and smallest in mathematical achievement. Substantial number of male students possess high level of spatial abilities, but only half of female students were at the same level where their male colleagues were. The correlation between spatial ability and mathematical ability was negligible, contrary to former researches on elementary and middle school students. But the correlation was stronger for female students than male students. The correlation between mathematical achievement and verbal achievement was negative. It reflects the fact that when one section of SAT score is low, score of other sections should be higher to get admitted to college. Gender difference in mathematics was smallest for high achieving spatial ability group. For low spatial ability group gender difference in mathematics achievement has been observed, too. To find the combined contribution of spatial and verbal abilities to mathematics achievement, students were divided into 4 ability groups. Mathematics achievement decreased in the order of (1) high spatial -low verbal group, (2) low spatial - low verbal group, (3) high spatial - high verbal group, (4) low spatial - high verbal group.

일반적인 문서에 대한 정보 검색 연구는 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 일상 생활 속에서도 대중화되어 많이 사용되고 있다. 이에 따라 음성, 이미지 검색 등 특정 분야의 검색에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있지만, 수학식 검색에 대한 연구는 비교적으로 미비한 실정이다. 수학식 검색과 관련된 연구들은 대부분 MathML (Mathematical Markup Language), TeX 등으로 작성된 수학식을 대상으로 진행되었지만, 특정 언어나 별개의 수학 입력 툴들을 이용한 검색 방법은 일반 사용자들이 사용하기에는 쉽지 않다는 단점이 있다. 그래서, 본 논문에서는 일반 문서 검색과 마찬가지로, 수학식을 읽듯이 한글을 입력했을 때 색인어 추출 방법 및 검색 방법에 대해 제안한다. 실험을 위해서 수학 문제집에 나오는 1,432개의 수학식을 한글화 시켰고, 한글화된 결과에 대해 패턴 등을 추출하여 MRR (Mean Reciprocal Rank), $Rel_{EQ}$@N(Relevance evaluation at N)로 평가하였다. 100개의 한글 질의어에 대해 MRR@5로 계산된 수학식 검색 결과가 약 0.6 정도 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 학습 데이터에 포함되지 않은 질의수학식 5개에 대해 $Rel_{EQ}$@5로 계산했을 때 평균 60% 의 정확률을 보였다.

The purpose of the study was to reveal the current situations and suggest some ideas to improve the mathematics education of magnet high schools in Korea. Magnet high schools were founded to offer special professional education for students who are interested in a specialized area. Students were selected based on their abilities and potentials in those fields. In Magnet high schools, the curriculums were constructed based on these objectives. Also close connections were established with universities through professional education. However, many magnet high schools are facing difficulties to chase two rabbits at the same time. Those are university admissions and specialized education for near future employment. Furthermore, increasing number of students who want to study at the university level cause more difficulties. The results of the study indicated several suggestions to improve current situation of the magnet high schools.

This research is to explore mathematics gifted education which considered individual difference of gifted students in elementary school-level. The purpose of this study is to develop a differentiated instruction model and mathematical materials for gifted students that consider students' individual difference. We also investigate effectiveness of differentiated instruction through change of self-directed learning ability and studying satisfaction of gifted students. The results of this study will provide basic information on the after research related with development and application of mathematics gifted education program and differentiated instruction.
