수학학습은 교과 수업시간을 통해서 뿐만 아니라, 자연과 문화 속에 내재된 수학적 원리와 법칙은 관찰이나 탐구를 통하여 습득하거나, 일상생활의 활동과 놀이를 통하여 수학적 개념 및 결과와 관련된 심상이 형성될 수도 있다. 따라서, 계획적으로 잘 구성된 놀이활동을 통하여 수학에 대한 흥미와 호기심을 유발하고, 사고의 유연성과 직관력을 경험하게 함으로써 교육현장에서 교사와 학습자간에 원활한 의사소통이 가능한 학습효과를 기대할 수 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 놀이 활동을 통하여 수학적 경험을 가능하게 하는 활동유형을 탐색하고, 수학의 본질이 잘 고려된 특기 ${\cdot}$ 적성교육 교수-학습 자료 개발 및 이를 활용한 교수-학습 모형을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we designed a teaching unit for the learning mathematization of secondary pre-service teachers through exploring the relationship between partition models and generalized fibonacci sequences. We first suggested some problems which guide pre-service teachers to make phainomenon for organizing nooumenon. Pre-service teachers should find patterns from partitions for various partition models by solving the problems and also form formulas front the patterns. A series of these processes organize nooumenon. Futhermore they should relate the formulas to generalized fibonacci sequences. Finding these relationships is a new mathematical material. Based on developing these mathematical materials, pre-service teachers can be experienced mathematising as real practices.

수학은 추상적인 학문이다. '추상'은 몇 개 또는 무한히 많은 사물의 공통성이나 본질을 추출하여 파악하는 사고작용이다. 그리고 이 추상들이 모여 분류(유사성을 기초로 해서 우리의 경험을 함께 묶는 것)가 되고 그 다음에 이름이 붙여진다. 이것이 바로 개념(concept)이 형성되는 과정이고 수학자가 수학을 하는 과정이다. 그리고 이 개념들은 여러 가지 모양으로 결합하여 스키마(Schema)라고 부르는 개념 구조를 형성하게 되는데, 이 스키마(Schema)는 수학적 사고를 하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 초등학교 교과서의 소수의 관한 내용에서 교차연결고리가 부족한 부분을 보충한 스키마식 수업 모델을 제시하여 수학의 연계성과 위계성을 강조함으로써 학생들로 하여금 수학의 구조를 파악하게 하여 수학에 대한 흥미와 필요성을 알게 하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다.

In order to help students to understand the essence of prime concepts, this study looked at the history of prime concept development and analyzed how to introduce the concept of textbooks. In ancient Greece, primes were multiplicative atoms. At that time, the unit was not a number, but the development of decimal representations led to the integration of the unit into the number, which raised the issue of primality of 1. Based on the uniqueness of factorization into prime factor, 1 was excluded from the prime, and after that, the concept of prime of the atomic context and the irreducible concept of the divisor context are established. The history of the development of prime concepts clearly reveals that the fact that prime is the multiplicative atom is the essence of the concept. As a result of analyzing the textbooks, the textbook has problems of not introducing the concept essence by introducing the concept of prime into a shaped perspectives or using game, and the problem that the transition to analytic concept definition is radical after the introduction of the concept. Based on the results of the analysis, we have provided several pedagogical implications for helping to focus on a conceptual aspect of prime number.

In this thesis, we designed a experimental learning-teaching plan of 'decimal fraction concept' at the 4-th grade level. We rest our plan on two basic premises. One is the fact that a essential concept of decimal fraction is 'polynomial of which indeterminate is 10', and another is the fact that the origin of decimal fraction is successive measurement activities which improving accuracy through decimal partition of measuring unit. The main features of our experimental learning-teaching plan is as follows. Firstly, students can experience a operation which generate decimal unit system through decimal partitioning of measuring unit. Secondly, the decimal fraction expansion will be initially introduced and the complete representation of decimal fraction according to positional notation will follow. Thirdly, such various interpretations of decimal fraction as 3.751m, 3m+7dm+5cm+1mm, $(3+\frac{7}{10}+\frac{5}{100}+\frac{1}{1000})m$ and $\frac{3751}{1000}m$ will be handled. Fourthly, decimal fraction will not be introduced with 'unit decimal fraction' such as 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, ${\cdots}$ but with 'natural number+decimal fraction' such as 2.345. Fifthly, we arranged a numeration activity ruled by random unit system previous to formal representation ruled by decimal positional notation. A experimental learning-teaching plan which presented in this thesis must be examined through teaching experiment. It is necessary to successive research for this task.

21세기 지식 기반 사회를 준비하기 위한 신교육의 방향은 교사 중심의 교수 교육(teaching ed.)과 학생중심의 학습 교육(learning ed.)에서 교사와 학생이 함께 주도하는 사고중심 교육(thinking ed.)으로 옮겨가고 있다. 그리고 수학은 우리의 마음에 존재하는 모든 관념적 대상을 다루는 도구로서, 인간 사회의 여러 분야에서 인간의 사고를 도우며 인간이 직면하는 어려운 문제들을 합리적으로 풀어 나갈 수 있는 능력을 키우고 또 항상 새로운 것을 창조하는 학문이다. 이와 같이 창의적 사고를 필요로 하는 신교육 사조와 창조적 사고를 특정으로 하는 가장 유용하고 매력적인 수학은 본질적으로 서로 맥을 같이 하고 있다. 이런 관점에서 21세기 수학교육의 필요성은 더욱 중대되어 가고 있는 것이 국제적 추세이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 공교육 위기설이 나돌고 있는 우리 나라 중등교육 현장에서 수학교육의 나아갈 길은 과연 무엇인가?

The purpose of this study is to analyze the mathematical beliefs of students and teachers by Latent Class Analysis(LCA). This study surveyed 60 teachers about beliefs of 'nature of mathematics', 'mathematic teaching', 'mathematical ability' and also asked 1850 students about beliefs of 'school mathematics', 'mathematic problem solving', 'mathematic learning' and 'mathematical self-concept'. Also, this study classified each student and teacher into a class that are in a similar response, analyzed the belief systems and built a profile of the classes. As a result, teachers were classified into three types of belief classes about 'nature of mathematics' and two types of belief classes about 'teaching mathematics' and 'mathematical ability' respectively. Also, students were classfied into three types of belief classes about 'self concept' and two types of classes about 'School Mathematics', 'Mathematics Problem Solving' and 'Mathematics Learning' respectively. This study classified the mathematics belief systems in which students were categorized into 9 categories and teachers into 7 categories by LCA. The belief categories analyzed through these inductive observations were found to have statistical validity. The latent class analysis(LCA) used in this study is a new way of inductively categorizing the mathematical beliefs of teachers and students. The belief analysis method(LCA) used in this study may be the basis for statistically analyzing the relationship between teachers' and students' beliefs.

This study is intended to reconsider the meaning of the education for gifted/talented children, the foundation object of science high school by examining the behavior characteristics between gifted students and talented students in open-end mathematical problem solving and to provide the basis for realization of 'meaningful teaming' tailored to the learner's level, the essential of school education. For the study, 8 students (4 gifted students and 4 talented students) were selected out of the 1 st grade students in science high school through the distinction procedure of 3 steps and the behavior characteristics between these two groups were analyzed according to the basis established through the literature survey. As the results of this study, the following were founded. (1) It must be recognized that the constituent members of science high school were not the same excellent group and divided into the two groups, gifted students who showed excellence in overall field of mathematical behavior characteristics and talented students who had excellence in learning ability of mathematics. (2) The behavior characteristics between gifted students and talented students, members of science high school is understood and a curriculum of science high school must include a lesson for improving the creativity as the educational institutions for gifted/talented students, unlike general high school. Based on these results, it is necessary to try to find a support plan that it reduces the case which gifted students are generalized with common talented students by the same curriculum and induces the meaningful loaming to learners, the essential of school education.

인간의 교수${\cdot}$학습은 본질적으로 뇌 기능과 많은 관련을 맺고 있기 때문에 뇌-기반 학습에서는 우리의 뇌가 최적으로 학습하는 방식에 기초해 접근을 시도한다. 지난 30년간의 뇌에 대한 연구는 교수${\cdot}$학습에 대해서 이용할 만한 많은 정보를 제시하고 있다. 많은 교육연구가들은 뇌 연구를 기초로 뇌가 최적으로 학습하는 뇌-친화적 환경을 도입하였고, Politano & Paquin(2000)은 현행교실에 실제로 이용 가능한 뇌-기반 환경을 창조하기 위한 기초로서 10가지 요소를 제시하면서 뇌-기반 학습에서 학습자는 자신에게 익숙한 학습감각을 가지고 있으며 그것을 통한 학습이 효과적임을 말하였다. 수학교육에서도 이와 같이 뇌-기반 학습을 배경으로 하는, 학습자의 학습감각을 고려한 교수${\cdot}$학습이 의미있다고 할 수있다. 본 연구에서는 뇌기반 학습의 의미를 고찰하고, 제 7차 교육과정이 실행되는 초등학교 4학년, 중학교 2학년, 고등학교 1학년에 교실에 대한 학습감각을 조사하였으며, 수학 교실에서 학습자의 학습감각을 고려한 수업활동을 제시하였다.

Conditional probability may look simple but it raises various misconceptions. Preceding studies are mostly about such misconceptions. However, instead of focusing on those misconceptions, this paper focused on what the mathematical essence of conditional probability which can be applied to various situations and how good teachers' understanding on that is. In view of this purpose, this paper classified conditional probability which have different ways of defining into two-relative conditional probability which can be get by relative ratio and if-conditional probability which can be get by the inference of the situation change of conditional event. Yet, this is just a superficial classification of resolving ways of conditional probability. The purpose of this paper is in finding the mathematical essence implied in those, and by doing that, tried to find out how well teachers understand about conditional probability which is one integrated concept.
