Freudenthal의 수학화 이론에 대한 지금까지의 대부분의 연구는 이론의 탐색에 집중하고 이에 따른 학습 지도 방안과 자료개발에만 역점을 두었던 것이 그 한계점으로 지적되어져 왔다. 이에 본 연구자는 실제 이 이론이 어떻게 학습 현장에 적용될 수 있는지에 대해 첫째, Freudenthal의 수학화에 의한 도형 지도에서 학생이 어떻게 수학화를 이루어 가는지를 조사하였고, 둘째, 학습의 주체자인 학생들의 능동적인 활동을 강조한 수학화 과정에서 교수의 주체자인 교사는 학생들의 수학화가 원만히 이루어지게 하기 위하여 어떤 역할을 수행하게 되는지를 중학교 1학년 학생을 대상으로 사례연구를 실시하여 조사하였다.

One area where research is especially needed is their elaboration process and how they elaborate their idea as a group in a mathematical board game re-creation project. In this research, this process was named 'Mathematical Elaboration Process'. The purpose of this research is to understand how the gifted children elaborate their idea in a small group, and which idea can be chosen for a new board game when they are exposed to a project for making new mathematical board games using the what-if-not strategy. One of the gifted children's classes was chosen in which there were twenty students, and the class was composed of four groups in an elementary school in Korea. The researcher presented a series of re-creation game projects to them during the course of five weeks. To interpret their process of elaborating, the communication of the gifted students was recorded and transcribed. Students' elaboration processes were constructed through the interaction of both the mathematical route and the non-mathematical route. In the mathematical route, there were three routes; favorable thoughts, unfavorable thoughts and a neutral route. Favorable thoughts was concluded as 'Accepting', unfavorable thoughts resulted in 'Rejecting', and finally, the neutral route lead to a 'non-mathematical route'. Mainly, in a mathematical route, the reason of accepting the rule was mathematical thinking and logical reasons. The gifted children also show four categorized non-mathematical reactions when they re-created a mathematical board game; Inconsistency, Liking, Social Proof and Authority.

수학적 문제 해결은 수학 교육에서 중요한 이슈이고 문제 해결 전략으로서의 유추를 주제로 본 연구에서는 중학생들을 대상으로 단순히 유사한 문제를 제시하는 것만으로 문제 해결에 성공을 할 수 있는지, 문제 해결에 성공을 할 수 없다면 중학생들에게 어떤 과정을 제시해야만 문제 해결 과정에서 유추를 사용하여 문제를 해결 할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 유추에 의한 문제 해결과정을 표상 형성, 인출, 사상, 적합성, 스키마 형성의 과정으로 보고, 이러한 과정 중 사상 단계에서 사상 과정의 명료화를 중심으로 학생들의 유추 추론에 의한 문제해결 과정을 탐구하였다. 연구 결과, 유추 추론 과정에서 근거 문제만을 제시하는 것은 목표 문제를 해결하는데 유추 추론의 성공을 보장한다고 할 수 없었으며, 근거 문제가 제시되었는데도 목표 문제를 해결하지 못하는 경우 사상 과정을 명료화하자 목표 문제를 성공적으로 해결하였다. 또한 학생들은 목표 문제의 성공 이후 유사한 새로운 목표문제를 푸는데 성공하였다.

The purpose of this study was to look into whether this mathematising learning utilizing realistic context has an effect on the mathematical thinking. To solve the above problem, two 5th grade classes of D Elementary School in Seoul were selected for performing necessary experiments with one class designated as an experimental group and the other class as a comparative group. Throughout 17 times for six weeks, the comparative group was educated with general mathematics learning by mathematics and "mathematics practices," while the experimental group was taught mainly with mathematising learning using realistic context. As a result, to start with, in case of the experimental group that conducted the mathematising learning utilizing realistic coherence, in the analogical and developmental thoughts which are mathematical thoughts related to the methods of mathematics, in the thinking of expression and the one of basic character which are mathematical thoughts related to the contents of mathematics, and in the thinking of operation, the average points were improved more than the comparative group, also having statistically significant differences. The study suggested that it is necessary to conduct subsequent studies that can verify by expanding to each grade, sex and region, develop teaching methods suitably to the other content domains and purposes of figures, and demonstrate the effects. In addition to those, evaluation tools which can evaluate the mathematical thinking processes of children appropriately and in more diversified methods will have to be developed. Furthermore, in order to maximize mathematising for each group in each mathematising process, it would be necessary to make efforts for further developing realistic problem situations, works and work sheets, which are adequate to the characteristics of the upper and lower groups.

학생들은 변수의 개념을 실제 우리 실생활에서 많이 사용하고 있으면서도 실제 수학 수업에서는 상당히 어려워 한다. 변수의 교수-학습에서 수학화의 개념을 적용한 수업으로 학생들의 수학화가 이루어지는 과정, 정의적 측면의 변화와 실생활의 적용 여부에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 학생들은 변수개념을 보다 쉽게 이해하고, 정의적 측면의 긍정적 변화와 실생활에서의 적용도 가능하다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This study is intended to establish and apply a program created with RME for mathematising instruction and learning and identify how it influences on the mathematical thinking process in the field. In order to deal with this study inquiries, related theories have been analyzed establishing a program for mathematising instruction and learning method based on a model of them and RME theory principles and re-organizing education courses for instruction on the fields concerned. Study subjects were limited to two classes consisting of fifth graders in S elementary school located in the city of Daegu and divided them in an experiment group and a control group. An experiment group was given a mathematising learning method applied with RME, while a control group had a class with regular methods of learning and instruction during the period of experiment. As a summary of aforementioned results of the study, mathematising learning method applied with RME had an effect on improving mathematical thinking ability for students and also on promoting mathematising outcome through a repetitive experience in each procedure obtained on a regular basis.

Researchers have insisted that mathematics should be learned not as a product but as a process. Nevertheless school mathematics has chosen ‘top-down’ method and has usually instilled into the mind of students the mathematical concepts in the form of product. Consequently school mathematics has been teamed by students without the process of inquiring and mathematical thinking. According to Freudenthal, it is a major source of all problems of mathematics education. He suggested mathematising as the method for 'teaching to think mathematically' 'Teaching to think mathematically' through the process of mathematization, interpreting and analysing mathematics as an activity, is a means to embody the purpose of mathematics education.

The study aims to get real picture of primary mathematics education based on RME in the Netherlands focusing on number and operations strand by reflecting and analyzing the documents in relation to the primary school mathematics curriculum. In order to attain these purposes, the present paper describes the core goals for mathematics education, Dutch Pluspunt textbook series for the primary school, and a learning-teaching trajectory by TAL project which are determinants of the Dutch primary school mathematics curriculum. Under these reflections on the documents, it is analyzed what is the characteristics of number and operations strand in the Nether-lands as follows: counting numbers, contextualization, positioning, structuring, progressive algoritmization based on levels, estimation and insightful use of a calculator. Finally, discussing Points for improving our primary mathematics curriculum and textbook series development are described.

The researchers developed the teaching-learning materials for 9th grade mathematically gifted students in terms of the hypothesis that the students would have opportunity for problem solving and develop various mathematical thinking through the mathematical modeling lessons. The researchers analyzed what mathematical thinking abilities were shown on each stage of modeling process through the application of the materials. Organization of information ability appears in the real-world exploratory stage. Intuition insight ability, spatialization/visualization ability, mathematical reasoning ability and reflective thinking ability appears in the pre-mathematical model development stage. Mathematical abstraction ability, spatialization/visualization ability, mathematical reasoning ability and reflective thinking ability appears in the mathematical model development stage. Generalization and application ability and reflective thinking ability appears in the model application stage. The developed modeling assignments have provided the opportunities for mathematically-gifted students' mathematical thinking ability to develop and expand.
