Now, most of programs developed were presented as form of item pool by dividing problems by section and level for the level differentiated course, so the utilization is decreasing at the field caused by unconsidered school underachievement elements by achievement. Especially, the study on teaching materials and effective measures map for mid-low level students with low utilization is more urgent. Therefore, in this study we will promote teaching method for improving learning achievement at high school. The development teaching materials(the performance evaluation and diagnostic assessment, reconstruction of textbooks) will be applied to classes for the underachieving students directly, and the achievement in the experimental class was significantly improved compared to the comparative class and the meaningful conclusions could be drawn as results of conducting same assessment based on the experimental class and the comparative class.

The purpose of this study is to find out how the reconstructed textbook for vocational high school students influences on students' scholastic achievement and affective domain when it is used in the class of vocational high school. To tackle the study problems, the researcher chose two classes of the first grade in G commercial high school and gave lessons to each of the two classes; one class, as an experimental group, was taught with the reconstructed textbook and the other, as a comparative group, was taught with the original textbook. The following results are derived from the study. First, it turned out in the post academic achievement test result, there is no significant difference between the experimental group and the comparison group, by significant level; .05. However, the prior academic achievement test result shows that the average of the comparison group is 0.44 points higher than the average of the experimental group, while the post test result shows that the average of the experimental group is 1.96 points higher than the average of the comparison group. Second, it turned out by the post affective domain test result, there is no significant difference between the experimental group and the comparison group, by significant level; .05, and any significant difference did not occur in all five areas. However, the whole point of the affective domain and the points of each area of experimental group are higher than those of the comparison group, and the degree of improvement in experimental group is also greater than that of the comparison group. In conclusion, the effectiveness of utilizing a reconstructed textbook in vocational high school math class can be expected in the long term.

The purpose of this study is to provide a method to help elementary school students learn ratio-related concepts effectively through visual representations. This study was conducted to identify the differences in the composition of ratio-related concepts between Korean and Singaporean textbooks, reconstruct a unit of proportional expressions and distributions by using visual representations and confirm the differences in performance between an experimental and a comparison group of 6th grade students. While the experimental group mathematics lessons is from the reconstructed textbook, the comparison group lessons is from an existing textbook that does not include any reconstructive representations. A t-test of mean was applied to determine the differences between the experimental and comparison group. Analysis revealed significant differences in the mean between the experimental group and the comparison group, and the intermediate level group showed more improvement compared to the higher and lower level groups. An implication of this study is that the application of visual representations can assist students' understanding of ratio-related concepts.

수학은 합리적이고 논리적으로 사고하는 양식(style)의 학문으로서 과학기술이 발전함에 따라 점진적으로 변화하고 확장되는 개념의 집합체이다. 불확실한 미래사회에 대비하기 위하여 문제해결, 추론 및 의사결정의 기법은 학교수학에서 더욱 강조되어야 한다. 이러한 사회환경의 변화에 적극적으로 대처하기 위하여 7차 교육과정의 기본 방향을 ‘자율적 ${\cdot}$ 창의적인한국인 육성’으로 설정한 교육부는 국민 공통 기본 교육과정의 수학을 ‘단계형 수준별 교육과정’으로 규정하고, 1학년에서 10학년까지를 20개의 소단계(1-가에서 10-나)로 세분하고 있다. 그러나 단계형 수준별 교육과정을 지나치게 의식하게 되면, 학생들의 개인차나 협동학습, 학습평가 등의 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습의 여러 측면에서 자칫 혼란이 우려된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수준별 교육과정을 운영하고 있는 뉴질랜드의 교육과정을 살펴보고, 학생들의 자율성과 창의성을 신장할 수 있는 방안으로서 교과서의 재구성 방안과 이에 따른 교사의 역할을 살펴보고자 한다.
