In order to improve mathematical problem-solving ability, there has been a need for research on practical application of meta-affect which is found to play an important role in problem-solving procedure. In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of the sociodynamical aspects of the meta-affective factor of the successful problem-solving procedure of small groups in the context of collaboration, which is known that it overcomes difficulties in research methods for meta-affect and activates positive meta-affect, and works effectively in actual problem-solving activities. For this purpose, meta-functional type of meta-affect and transact elements of collaboration were identified as the criterion for analysis. This study grasps the characteristics about sociodynamical function of meta-affect that results in successful problem solving by observing and analyzing the case of the transact structure associated with the meta-functional type of meta-affect appearing in actual episode unit of the collaborative mathematical problem-solving activity of elementary school students. The results of this study suggest that it provides practical implications for the implementation of teaching and learning methods of successful mathematical problem solving in the aspect of affective-sociodynamics.

최근 웹콘텐츠로써 플래시로 제작 애니메이션이 다양한 분야에서 각광 받고 있다. 플래시 애니메이션 중에서 기존의 정적인 만화를 변형하여 등장 인물 등의 객체에 움직임을 주고 음성 응향 효과를 삽입하여 극적인 효과를 주는 활동만화(moving cartoon(R))가 인터넷과 모바일 콘텐츠로 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 만화로부터 활동만화을 제작하기 위하여 수학적 형태학을 이용하여 객체와 배경을 분리하는 방법을 제안한다.

In this research, we investigated the effects of mathematics education in using Socrates , method in a course of mathematics education in teacher's college. And we proposed some suggestions for education of future mathematics teachers. This study was conducted with 44 university students(third grade) who entered the department of mathematics education (future mathematics teachers) in 2005. We took a course in curriculum that was required for the future mathematics teachers in my department. In this course, we began with the reading the famous dialogue between Socrates and Meno's slave. And we analysed Socrates' questioning of Meno's slave and tried to understand what this dialogue is implicating in mathematics education. All the participants in this course was divided 11 groups. Each group designed a school mathematics class plan using Socrates' method and practiced their teaching plan by a performance(students' announcements). Through the analysis of research data. Five effects of mathematics education in using Socrates' method for future mathematics teachers were induced. Therefore, we suggest that future mathematics teacher need to have many opportunity to design and practice a mathematics teaching plan by using mathematics teaching-learning methods taught in their course.

This paper analyzed about gender difference in the achievement of underachievers of high school students while learning using technology. Participants were composed of 67 underachievers on first grade in high school located in a metropolitan city. That had never used a mathematics educational calculator before. Target participants were divided into two groups: experiment group that studied activity papers with a CAS calculator. And control group that studied the same activity papers using only paper-and-pencil. The content of the activity papers for the two groups was the same, but the structure differed. The two groups completed mathematics achievement tests both before and after the activity papers. The results are that find out no difference of the mathematics achievement between boys and girls in each group, and that the mathematics achievement of boys in experiment group are better than one of boys in control group, and also girls.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the relative effects of young children's mathematical abilities and scientific abilities on intelligence. Methods: The object of this study is 100 five or six-years-old children in a kindergarten of S district in S city. I conducted analysis of partial correlation after controlled young children's age and sex to examine correlation between young children's mathematical abilities, scientific abilities and intelligence, also I used stepwise multiple regression analysis for inspecting the relative effects of young children's mathematical abilities and scientific abilities on intelligence. Results: Young children's intelligence is relative with mathematical abilities and scientific abilities, this relation is higher in 'measurement' and 'algebra' factors of mathematical abilities and 'predicting' factor of scientific abilities. Mathematical abilities bigger impact to the relative effects on young children's intelligence. Conclusion/Implications: On this, it is necessary that evenly providing the math and science activities in early childhood education field and home, and we have to consider the integrations of the process when provide the math and science integrated activities. This study has the significance to use basic line data when people plan the integrated math-science activities and develop program associated those by finding the relationship between mathematical abilities, scientific abilities and intelligence and evaluating the relative effects on intelligence.

In this article three types of neuro-biological epistemology have been studied and applied to mathematics. Nativism or innatism is favored by many evolutionary psychologists and some mathematicians. They believe domain specific brain functions or modules, particularly language faculty and number instinct in infants. Number/mathematical cognition is a new research area and scientists try to localize areas related with mathematics. Selectionism has adopted Darwinism to synapse growth and supports neuronal regression. Mathematical creativity can be explained using selectionism. Neural constructivism has originated from J. Piaget and supports neuronal/synapse growth in children or adults if adequate exercise and practise is given. Unlike Piaget, neural constructivists accepts the importance of structured experience for the reorganization of brain. Authors opinion is all these theories of epistemology is equally important and they all give insights on how the brain and self is made.

This study searched for the possibility of tangram activities through modifying the tasks of elementary school mathematics textbooks into content based open tasks. As a result of analyzing previous researches, it was confirmed the educational effect of the mathematical tasks transformation and the educational value of tangram activities. The analysis of the textbooks revealed that the tangram activities presented in the textbooks are likely to be at the level of play. It was tried to modify 2015 revised curriculum textbook-tasks into content based open tasks. Based on this study, it could be expected advantages of task modification such as improvement of teachers' expertise and expectation of diverse reactions of students.

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.

‘수학을 한다는 것은 수학자가 하는 것처럼 하는 것이다.’ 이 말은 여러 번의 시도와 실패를 반복해 가면서 ‘왜 이렇게 될까?’ 라는 의문을 가지고 여러 가지 창의적인 수학적 사고를 먼저 해보고 문제를 대하는 것을 뜻한다. 생활 속의 수학 문제는 바로 이 점에서 시사하는 바가 크다. 이런 수학 문제를 풀 때 학생들은 수동적이 아닌 능동적인 논리적 사고를 한다. 본 연구에서는 대학 입시제도로 인해 지금까지의 수학을 암기위주로 수동적으로만 학습하였던 수학 부진학생들에게 생활과 연관된 수학문제들을 제시함으로써 수학 우수 학생과 비슷한 능동적 구성활동을 유발할 수 있었으며 수학 부진 학생들과 우수 학생들의 지금까지 배운 수학 학습의 전이에 어떤 요인이 영향을 주었는지를 조사하였다.

수학과의 평가는 수학의 학습 내용에 대한 학생들의 성취도를 다양한 유형의 평가기법을 이용하여 파악하고, 이를 통해 수학교육의 질을 관리하는데 그 목적이 있다. 그러나 지금까지의 대부분의 평가는 수학교육의 본질이라 할 수 있는 학습자의 수학적 사고력을 제대로 측정하지 못하고 단편적인 수학적 지식을 결과 위주로 평가하는 데 만족해 왔다. 한편으로는 지극히 교과서적이고 인위적인, 단지 문제를 위한 수학 문제는 수학 무용론을 부추기기도 하였다(박경미, 1998). 이와 같은 수학과의 위기를 탈출하기 위해서는 결과만을 고려하는 선다형의 문제가 아닌 과정을 중시하는 서술형 주관식 문제, 기능 위주의 고립된 수학적 지식을 측정한 학업성취 결과보다는 수학 학습에 대한 태도나 노력, 관심, 탐구적 활동 그리고 성향 등 정의적 영역의 평가가 절실히 요구된다. 따라서 기존의 지필 검사를 뛰어넘는 다양한 평가의 틀이 요구된다 하겠다. 이런 점에서 1999학년도부터 시행되고 있는 고등학교에서의 수행평가는 변화하는 교육기조의 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습에 대한 적절한 평가의 한 방법이라 생각된다. 이에 본 연구는 다양한 평가의 틀 가운데 수학과 수행평가에 관한 고찰을 통해서 현장에서의 수행평가활용 방법을 찾는데 있다.
