본 연구의 목적은 아동들의 수학 교과에 대한 정의적 특성과 수학적 문제 해결력, 추론 능력간의 상호 관계를 구명하고, 이러한 관계들은 아동의 지역적인 환경에 따라 차이가 있는지를 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 정의적 특성의 하위 요인 중 수학적 문제 해결력과 귀납적 추론 능력에 대한 설명력이 가장 높은 요인은 수학교과에 대한 자아개념인 것으로 나타났으며, 연역적 추론 능력에 대한 설명력은 학습 습관이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. _그리고 귀납적 추론 능력이 연역적 추론 능력 보다 수학적 문제 해결력에 대한 설명력이 더 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 수학적 문제 해결력과 귀납적 추론 능력은 지역별로 유의한 차가 나타났으나 연역적 추론 능력은 지역간 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다.

보통 문장제(일량, 거리, 속도 문제, 시계 문제, 농도 문제, 개수 세기, 측도 영역)는 초등학교부터 반복하며 나오며 대학 수학 능력 시험에서는 외적 문제 해결능력으로 측정되기도 한다. 문장제를 해결하는데는 사고가 여러 단계로 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 일반적으로 문장제는 난해하므로, 조직적이고 전문적인 학습지도가 이루어져야 한다. 하지만 입시위주의 교육 등 여러 여건상 잘 이루어지지 않고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 문장제의 문제 해결에 필요한 해결요소를 발견하고 저해 요인을 없앨 수 있는 지도 방안으로서 소집단 토의학습에 문제해결 전략을 이용하여, 효율적인 문장제 지도 방안을 연구하고 상이한 문제에 접근하는 방법, 문제를 이용하는 방법 등을 토의학습을 통하여 다양한 풀이방법을 해결하면서 이를 통하여 사고력을 신장할 수 있도록 연구한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the educational effects of pre-service mathematics teacher's teaching experiment on problem solving process and to give some suggestions in teacher training curriculum. The central theoretical background of this study is Palya's mathematical problem solving theory. In this study, we selected 21 pre-service mathematics teachers as research subject. And we conducted classroom activity that is constructing their problem-solving teaching design. We collected research data as observation materials, documents, video-service records etc. From these research data, we analysed that pre-service mathematics teacher's teaching experiment on problem solving process showed many significant educational effects. Therefore, we proposed that we need to serve many opportunities of teaching experiment on problem solving process to pre-service mathematics teacher in teacher training curriculum.

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.

보통 문장제(거리 ${\cdot}$ 속도 문제, 시계 문제, 농도 문제, 개수 세기, 측도 영역)는 초등학교부터 반복하면서 대학수학능력 시험에서는 외적 문제해결력을 측정하는 문장으로 나타난다. 문장제를 해결하는데는 사고가 여러 단계로 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 일반적으로 문장제는 난해하므로 조직적이고 전문적인 학습지도가 이루어져야 한다. 하지만 입시위주의 교육 등 여러 여건상 잘 이루어지지 않고 있는 것이 현실이다. 수학을 잘하는 학생이라도 문장제를 해결하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 문장제의 해결의 저해 요인을 완화시킬 수 있는 지도 방안으로서 Polya의 문제해결 전략을 이용하며, 실험반과 비교반의 학습 효과를 비교 분석하여 이를 통하여 효율적인 문장제 지도방안을 연구한다.

Problem solving has been consistently emphasized in national mathematics curricula, whereas the foci of such an emphasis have been changed. Given this background, this study traced down major changes in emphasizing problem solving from the first national mathematics curriculum to the most recent 2015 curriculum. In particular, both the 2009 and the 2015 revised curricula were analyzed in detail to figure out the latest emphasis and trends. This paper then investigated whether a series of mathematics textbooks were aligned to the emphases of recent curricula. It finally discussed some issues that we need to reconsider with regards to problems, problem solving strategies, and the process of problem solving. As such, this study is expected to provide textbook developers with detailed implications on how to employ problem solving in new series of textbooks.

학교에서 가르치는 것과 학교 밖에서 실행되고 있는 것과는 서로 연결성을 유지하면서 통합을 이루어야 된다고 볼 때, 교과서 위주의 형식화되고 구조화된 내용만으로 이루어지는 제한된 학습활동은 수학과 교육과정에서 요구하는 수준의 문제해결을 기대하기가 어렵다. 본고에서는 학생들의 수학적 경험과 관련된 실생활 중심의 과제(Project)를 공동으로 해결하는 과정에서 학생 개개인이 자신의 지적 능력에 따른 역할을 가치 있게 수행함으로써 문제 해결력을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다.

This study pilot tested a researcher-designed instrument based on National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' problem solving standard and middle school teachers' beliefs about teaching problem solving. One hundred twenty four teachers' responses were analyzed. The instrument was validated and found to be reliable. The study found that females and males have significantly different beliefs about teaching problem solving. Age of the teacher did not appear to affect the teaching of problem solving.

Intuition plays an important role in the mathematical education as well as the process of invention in mathematics. And many mathematics educators became interested in intuition in mathematics education. So we need to analyze the effect of the characters of intuition of elementary students. In this study, the questionnaire and the interview were used. The subjects were 6 grade-103 students in the questionnaire. They were asked to solve the problems in the questionnaire which was designed by the researcher and to describe the reasons why they answered like that. Students are effected directly by the characters of intuition, ie self-evidence, intrinsic certainty, implicitness, etc. And the effect come from intuitive and ordinary experiences and the results of previous learning. In conclusion, we have to be interested in teaching via intuition and to control the effect of the characters of intuition.

In this study, we research distinctive features of geometry problem solving of middle school students whose mathematical achievement levels are distinguished by National Assessment of Educational Achievement. We classified 9 students into 3 groups according to their level : advanced level, proficient level, basic level. They solved an atypical geometry problem while all their problem solving stages were observed and then analyzed in aspect of development of geometrical concepts and access to the route of problem solving. As those analyses, we gave some suggestions of teaching on mathematics as students' achievement level.
