The purpose of this study is to explore how a mathematics teacher's beliefs about mathematics and teaching and learning and mathematics and how such beliefs are related to her knowledge manifested in her mathematics instruction. The study illustrates images of teaching practice of an American mathematics teacher in middle grades mathematics classrooms. Results suggest that the teacher seems consistent in teaching in terms of her beliefs about mathematics and learning and teaching mathematics in some degrees. In particular, the teacher's beliefs affected the ways in which mathematics teacher organized and structured her lessons.

초등 수학 교과의 내용을 아동들에게 정확하게 가르치기 위한 목적으로 교사에게 제공되는 교수-학습 자료 지침서로서 교사용 지도서의 역할은 대단히 중요하다. 그러나, 수학을 전문적으로 전공하지 않은 초등교사의 입장에서는 각 차시별로 전개되는 내용들 사이의 연관성이나 위계성에 대한 보다 더 상세한 지도내용에 대한 안내가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 초등수학 3-나 단계를 중심으로 각 차시별로 전개되는 내용들 사이의 연관성에 대한 보다 더 상세한 지도내용 뿐만 아니라, 수학사 및 실생활 관련자료, 동기유발 자료 등을 이용하여 수학사 및 교사용 지도서를 수정, 보완하여 재구성한 후, 일선 학급에 투입한 후, 교사들과 아동들의 반응들을 분석하여, 향후 보다 더 개선된 교사용 지도서를 만들 수 있는 아이디어를 제시 하고자 한다.

MTEBI는 미국에서 초등 예비 교사들의 수학 교수 효능감을 측정하는데 자주 이용되는 척도이다. 이 연구의 목적은 MTEBI를 한국의 중등 예비 교사들에게 사용하는 것이 적합한지를 탐색하는 것이었다. 이를 위하여, 미국에 있는 대학원에 다니며 영어와 국어 둘 다 말할 수 있는 박사 학생 두 명이 MTEBI를 브리슬린의 이론대로 국문으로 번역하였고, 그 뒤에 한국에 있는 다수의 수학 교사 교육자들이 번역된 척도를 면밀하게 검토하였다. 한글판 척도를 먼저 작은 표본에서 초벌 실험하였는데, 두 개 문항이 도구의 신뢰도와 타당도를 현저하게 떨어뜨렸다. 본 연구에서는 이 두 개의 유용하지 못한 문항을 대신할 두 개 문항을 더한 23개 문항으로 구성된 척도에 대하여 정규성, 신뢰도, 요인 타당도 등을 658명의 표본에서 검사하였다. 초벌 연구에서 발견된 두 개의 유효하지 않는 문항은 본 연구에서도 역시 그와 같아서, 그 두 문항은 척도에서 제거되었다. 최종적으로 얻어진 21 문항 척도는 한국의 예비 수학 교사들의 수학 교수 효능감을 측정하는데 적합한 척도이다. 앞으로, MTEBI 한글판을 이용하여 한국에서 교사 효능감에 대한 연구가 활발하게 일어나기를 기대한다.

In this study, pre-service teachers who would be mathematics teachers of secondary school wrote the journal about learning mathematics. Journal writing helped pre-service teachers' math learning. Pre-service teachers could think mathematics reflectively, inquire it, represent their affectivity, plan the self-directed learning, and have the records of learning. They considered the educational issues as instructional methods, organization and management of instruction, assessment, and attitude of teacher. As well, they thought that journal writing was important in learning mathematics and how they would apply their students. Journal writing was meaningful to pre-service teacher education in cognitive and situative aspects.

This paper is to investigate how two elementary school teacher's belief mathematics as educational content, and teaching and learning mathematics as a part of educational methodology, and what the two teachers believe towards gifted children and their education, and what the classes demonstrate and its effects on the sociomathematical norms. To investigate this matter, the study has been conducted with two teachers who have long years of experience in teaching gifted children, but fall into different belief categories. The results of the study show that teacher A falls into the following category: the essentiality of mathematics as 'traditional', teaching mathematics as 'blended', and learning mathematics as 'traditional'. In addition, teacher A views mathematically gifted children as autonomous researchers with low achievement and believes that the teacher is a learning assistant. On the other hand, teacher B falls into the following category: the essentiality of mathematics as 'non-traditional', teaching mathematics as 'non-traditional, and learning mathematics as 'non-traditional.' Also, teacher B views mathematically gifted children as autonomous researchers with high achievement and believes that the teacher is a learning guide. In the teacher A's class for gifted elementary school students, problem solving rule and the answers were considered as important factors and sociomathematical norms that valued difficult arithmetic operation were demonstrated However, in the teacher B's class for gifted elementary school students, sociomathematical norms that valued the process of problem solving, mathematical explanations and justification more than the answers were demonstrated. Based on the results, the implications regarding the education of mathematically gifted students were investigated.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the change in the teacher efficacy beliefs of elementary pre-service teachers in mathematics during the student teaching, and to suggest the direction of the student teaching program for improving the pre-service teachers' efficacy beliefs in mathematics. For this, 93 elementary pre-service teachers participated. After the 4 weeks of practice, any changes in their teacher efficacy beliefs in mathematics were analyzed and the positive and negative causes of the differences were discussed. Consequently, their teacher efficacy beliefs in mathematics meaningfully decreased. The analysis of the cause of the decrease indicated that the teacher efficacy beliefs in teaching mathematics, rather than in the management of their mathematics class, meaningfully decreased. The meetings with the subjects also revealed that they had more negative experience with class teaching and were not able to gain much positive experience with it after all.

The focus of the present study is on examining a research trend of teachers' professional development in mathematics. In do this, this study investigated the meaning and standards of professional development about mathematics, examining the characteristics of successful mathematics education professional programs, and looking for the processes of teachers' professionalization about mathematics. The findings of this study point out as follows: Teachers' professional development about mathematics implies the improvement of the quality of mathematics instruction following improving the quality of mathematics learning through well-structured mathematics teacher education programs. To do this, teachers need to have shared vision about how to teach mathematics, to have profound knowledge related to the mathematics subject, and to actively participate in teachers' professional development programs in mathematics. The results suggest the common characteristics of successful programs of mathematics teachers' professional development. The results of this study suggest that teachers need to have passion and efforts to improve teachers' professionalization about mathematics, and research on teacher professional development should be based on understanding about teachers. Also, more teacher-researchers to connect educational theories with educational practices are recommended, and a model for teachers' professional development program of mathematics appropriate to the context of Korea needs to be developed.

Online classes have become one of the general teaching and learning method in elementary education, and elementary school teachers are essentially required to design and implement online math classes that reflect the characteristics of online environment and the specificity of the subject. The qualitative improvement of online mathematics lessons can start with examining what difficulties teachers actually have in enacting the online lessons, and this study focused on their educational needs by examining the degree to which elementary school teachers perceive and implement in terms of designing online interactions. The result showed that teacher education on Learner-Content Interaction (LC) and Learner-Learner Interaction (LL) was necessary for elementary school teachers designing online mathematics lessons, and the educational needs of detailed items of interactions were confirmed. Furthermore, it was found that there was a difference in educational needs for the types of online interactions according to the career life cycle of elementary school teachers. The instructional design strategies for online interactions in online mathematics lessons and implications for teacher education necessary for elementary school teachers were derived from the result.
