The alternative perspective on statistical literacy which considers statistical literacy as an all-encompassing goal of statistics education has been emphasized these days. From this perspective and the diversity of statistical literacy, the key issues related to each step of statistical problem solving can be regarded as components of statistical literacy. This study aims at investigating the key issues and pre-service elementary school teachers' knowledge of them. Based on previous literatures, a framework that indicated the issues related to each step of statistical problem solving was developed. In addition, based on 26 pre-service elementary school teachers' critical analysis of statistics posters, their understanding of each issue was investigated.

This study tried to redesign a robot curriculum and proposed it for the purpose of enhancing, supporting sustainable development of robot in educations. For doing so, this study referred relevant existing literacy contents at robot literacy educations, and defined a robot literacy education. In addition, this study presented elements of robot literacy by dividing them into five kinds. In relation with the scope of robot literacy education suggested here, this study proposed basic robot area, measurement and observation along with robots based on three elements of robotics, movement and expression made by robots, my own robot design, and comprehensive activity area. Regarding to development stages of robot literacy, the study applied the classical model of curriculum development by Tyler (1949), and intended to secure validity and reliability on the curriculum composition, and then developed a curriculum after analyzing mathematics and science curriculums in existing elementary, middle schools accordingly.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the current mathematics textbooks are structured so as to cultivate students' statistical literacy. To do this, we analyzed the problems of the statistics units of 9 kinds of middle school 3rd grade mathematics textbook according to 2009 revised mathematics curriculum based on four types of context and statistical problem solving process. As a result of the analysis, among the four types of context, the problems that correspond to the type of personal context was the highest in 67% and among statistical problem solving process, the data analysis process was the highest in 72.85%. According to the results of this study, it is necessary to include the problems that can recognize the necessity of statistics through the use of various contexts and that can develop the statistical literacy through the activities that from the process of collecting data to guessing reasonable conclusions from the presented data.

The purpose of this study is to find the correlation between the level of 6th graders' achievement level in Probability and Statistics education, which were proposed in the curriculum, which targeted the 6th graders in the elementary school, and statistical literacy. For this, first, questions asking the achievement level in the probability and statistics(Part A), and questions asking the statistical literacy(Part B), were used to study the achievement level of the students. Second, the achievement level in the probability and statistics, and the statistical literacy were measured. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, questionnaire that consists of 10 questions was invented. The questionnaire was divided into Part 1 and Part 2 under the consideration upon the characteristics of the questions. The results of the questionnaires given to the students were classified into "high, medium, and low" and were separated into 7 categories. Results of comparing category 3 and category 6, which have shown opposing tendencies, we could find that students who are good at school mathematics and students with high statistical literacy have respective and different characteristics. For actually effective statistical education, consideration upon and reflection of core aspects such as intuition and critical thinking in the curriculum are needed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of statistical literacy among fifth and sixth graders in the data presentation task based on the speculative data generation process. For the research, the data presentation tasks based on the speculative data generation process was designed and statistical literacy standards for evaluating the student's level was presented based on prior studies. It is meaningful that the stepwise presentation of the students' statistical literacy and analysis of their developmental patterns can help them to find their current position and reach a higher level of performance. In this study, the standard of statistical literacy level was clarified based on the previous research, and a new perspective was presented about the data presentation instruction in the statistical education by analyzing the students' responses by each level.

As the importance of learner-centered ICT education is emphasized, school education should move toward the direction of respecting individual learners' capability rather than fitting learners into a fixed frame. Such a view finds its theoretical ground in Gardner's multiple intelligences theory. Thus ICT literacy education in elementary school also needs to consider individual student's abilities and talents based on their multiple intelligences and apply appropriate education programs and teaching methods. In order to provide basic materials for this, the present study examined the correlation between children's academic achievement in ICT literacy education and their multiple intelligences and inquired into which intelligences are factors determining achievement in ICT literacy education. According to the results. logical-mathematical intelligence is in a significant correlation with academic achievement in ICT literacy education. and logical-mathematical intelligence and linguistic intelligence are the most influential factors on academic achievement in ICT literacy education.

The PISA(Program for International Student Assessment), an international comparative study supervised by OECD, aims at producing reliable and internationally comparable indicators of students' literacy in reading, mathematics, and science. In mathematical literacy, Korean students ranked the 2nd out of the 32 participating countries in PISA. This result is very encouraging in the sense that the scores in the mathematical literacy are a forecasting indicator for the mathematical level of future citizens who are supposed to lead their countries in every field. However, Korean students showed the largest gender difference in mathematical literacy, indicating that male students achieved significantly higher scores than female counterparts. With the consideration that mathematics plays a key role in determining the overall achievement level and influences on the long-term career opportunities, it is necessary to pay more attention to the gender difference in mathematical literacy, and make an effort to reduce it to enhance the overall intelligence level of Korean human resources.

정부의 인공지능 국가전략을 통해 인공지능 교육은 초등학교에서도 필수교육으로 대두되고 있다. 또한 인공지능 소양을 습득하기 위해 타 교과와 융합한 인공지능 융합 교육의 필요성이 증가하고 있고, 인공지능 발달에 대한 수학의 역할을 고려하여 수학 교과를 통해 인공지능의 이해를 기르는 것이 강조되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수학 교과와 인공지능 교과가 융합한 인공지능 융합 교육 프로그램을 개발하기 위해 초등학교 3~4학년 수학 교과의 도형 분류를 의사 결정 나무 모델을 활용하여 가르치는 인공지능 융합 교육 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 프로그램은 초등학생의 인공지능 개념학습을 통한 인공지능 기초소양 함양뿐만 아니라 수학 교과의 이해 및 성취도 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

To grow as talents with future oriented knowledge and creativity, students need imaginative power and creativeness, and to that end, mathematics and science subjects may help. Students need activities that help gain explorative mind for new things, concentrating ability, researching ability and creativeness, and such attributes can be improved through the activities of making various shapes utilizing space geometry in 4D-frame. Such activities not only contribute to defining ability in mathematics but also cherish the qualifications required as architects and space scientists.
