The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mathematics classes focused on mathematical problem posing activities on 10th grade students' mathematics achievement and affective characteristics of mathematics. This study was conducted in a total of 45 regular mathematics classrooms with 81 students from two classes through a nonequivalent control group design. The results of the study showed that the teaching method based on mathematical problem posing activities had a more positive effect on students' mathematics achievement and the affective characteristics of mathematics than the teaching method that focuses on problem solving. The teaching method based on problem posing activities proposed in this study could induce students' self-reflective learning motivation, which in turn gave them a more solid understanding of the mathematical concepts they had learned. In addition, it was found that students' problem solving ability, mathematical communication ability, and mathematical thinking ability were positively influenced by problem posing activities. Regarding the affective characteristics of mathematics, the mathematical problem-posing activity suggested in this study turned out to be a very effective strategy for improving students' interest in mathematics.

This study examined the effect of coaching based on private tutoring on students' learning ability and academic achievement in university mathematics education. Those in the coaching group showed statistical significance in academic achievement compared to those in the non-coaching group. In addition, the coaching was found to be more effective for those with poor academic performance or women than those with excellent academic performance or men respectively. Due to limitations on survey time and number of respondents, it is difficult to draw a general conclusion about the effect of coaching in university mathematics education. Still, it is significant that the study applies coaching as a method to teach students university mathematics for the first time and the results are in consistent with those of previous studies on other subjects.

As information and communication technologies are being developed so rapidly, education research is actively conducted to provide optimal learning for each student using big data and artificial intelligence technology. In this study, using the mathematics learning data of elementary school 5th to 6th graders conducting blended mathematics classes, we tried to find out what factors predict mathematics academic achievement and developed an artificial intelligence model that predicts mathematics academic performance using the results. Math learning propensity, LMS data, and evaluation results of 205 elementary school students had analyzed with a random forest model. Confidence, anxiety, interest, self-management, and confidence in math learning strategy were included as mathematics learning disposition. The progress rate, number of learning times, and learning time of the e-learning site were collected as LMS data. For evaluation data, results of diagnostic test and unit test were used. As a result of the analysis it was found that the mathematics learning strategy was the most important factor in predicting low-achieving students among mathematics learning propensities. The LMS training data had a negligible effect on the prediction. This study suggests that an AI model can predict low-achieving students with learning data generated in a blended math class. In addition, it is expected that the results of the analysis will provide specific information for teachers to evaluate and give feedback to students.

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.
