중학교 기하교육의 목적은 학생들의 수학적인 상황을 보는 기하학적인 직관과 논리적 추론능력의 향상이다. 그러나 이 두 가지 모두 만족스럽지 못한 실정이다. 본 고에서는 중학교 기하교육의 문제를 직관기하와 형식기하의 단절이라는 보고, 직관기하에서 증명의 학습요소를 미리 학습하여 직관기하와 형식기하를 연결하자는 대안을 제시한다. 이를 위해 7-나 교과서의 증명요소를 분석하고자 하였다. 관련문헌을 검토하여 7가지 증명의 학습요소를 선정한 후, 교과서를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 기호화를 제외한 다른 증명의 학습요소는 매우 빈약한 것으로 나타났다. 직관기하 영역에 대한 교과서 구성이 개선될 필요가 있음을 알 수 있다.

This study is an analysis study on the number and operation area of middle school mathematics curriculum. This study is a literature analysis study that analyzes the historical transition process of number and operation area, and suggests the restructuring direction of mathematics learning contents for numbers and operation areas based on the results. In order to achieve this research purpose, the contents of the number and operation areas suggested from the 1st middle school mathematics curriculum to the 2015 revised middle school mathematics curriculum were considered. In addition, in this study, analysis of the mathematical learning contents of number and operation area was conducted. The details of the study are as follows. First, it was decided as a tertiary mathematics curriculum as a criterion for analysis. Second, a basic analysis framework was developed by subdividing the content of mathematics learning into content elements and terminology elements. Third, on the basis of the developed analysis framework, mathematics learning contents that are the core issues of number and operation area were extracted. Fourth, the extracted mathematics learning contents were compared with foreign curriculum. Finally, based on the analysis results, the direction of restructuring for the number and operation area of middle school was suggested. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for the development of a new curriculum.

Mathematical misconception is one of the big obstacles of the underachieving students to learn mathematics correctly. This study aims to develop the instruction materials for secondary school students who are underachieving in mathematics to reduce the occurrence of the misconception and to help them to build the correct concept in the mathematical learning. Before developing the material, we tried to collect the misconception cases occurring in common mathematics lesson. This materials tries to provide key educational contents for mathematics teachers who is responsible for teaching underachieving student and help them to creative interesting ideas for lessons. The materials could be used not only as an teaching materials for underachieving students or students with the misconceptions, but also could be used as training materials for mathematics teachers.

The six core competencies included in the mathematics curriculum Revised in 2015 are problem solving, reasoning, communication, attitude and practice, creativity and convergence, information processing. In particular, the creativity and convergence competency is very important for students' enhancing much higher mathematical thinking. Based on the creativity and convergence competency, this study selected the five elements of the creativity and convergence competency such as productive thinking element, creative thinking element, the element of solving problems in diverse ways, and mathematical connection element, non-mathematical connection element. And also this study selected the content(chapter) of the graph in the seventh grade mathematics textbook. By the subject of the ten kinds of textbook, this study examined how the five elements of the creativity and convergence competency were shown in each textbook.

In this study, we extracted geometrical learning content that is treated similarly in elementary and middle schools, and analyzed the differences between how this study is handled in elementary and middle schools. The analysis tools used in this study were developed by referring to the research results presented by Merrill. Merrill classified the study results into two dimensions: 'performance level' and 'content type', and 'teach station' and 'proposal type' by presenting the contents in the textbook. Based on this classification, this study was conducted. According to the results of the study, nine achievement criteria were extracted as learning factors that were treated similarly in elementary and middle schools. The extracted learning elements were systematically analyzed through analysis tools. The results of this study are expected to provide significant implications for the improvement of mathematics learning and for the improvement of new curricula.

This study compared and analyzed Korean, American, Singaporean, and Japanese middle school mathematics curriculum standards and the learning contents in statistics. Through a comparative analysis of the curriculums of these four countries, I found several overall features and differences between the curriculums. First, all four countries emphasized statistical education in a real-life context. Second, all four countries emphasized the use of technological tools. Third, there is a middle school grade in which only Korea does not deal with statistical domains. Fourth, the statistical areas of the United States, Singapore, and Japan focused on identifying trends or variability in data distribution. Fifth, I have found some contents that only Korea does not deal with. Based on this, the following recommendations were developed for the development of the next curriculum and new textbooks in Korea. First, the statistics curriculum should be changed from one that focuses on understanding statistical concepts to one that focuses on statistical activity that utilizes these concepts. Second, in terms of middle school statistical curriculum contents, the addition of interquartile range (IQR) and box plots as learning contents should be considered. IQR and box plots are simple and practical techniques for the comparison of multiple sets of data that can be easily learned and drawn by middle school level students and applied to real-life-related statistical data to expand statistical literacy. Through this study, it is suggested that IQR and box plots need to be included in the statistical curriculum of middle schools in Korea.

In this paper, we adapted the frame by Lee et al (2013) to investigate to what extent the Korean mathematics textbooks for the 7th graders adapt the principles of Yungbokhap education. The analysis suggests that the textbooks mostly adapt the competence to use language, symbols and texts interactively, and to use knowledge and information interactively. Among the competencies for interacting in heterogeneous groups, the textbooks included the competences to related well to others and to cooperatively work in teams. The competence for acting autonomously was least adapted in the textbooks. The most tasks in the textbooks adapted the monodisciplinary integration and the personal contexts for integration. The results of this research show that Korean mathematics textbooks are limited in implementing the principal dimensions of Yungbokhap education. In the future development of mathematics textbooks, it is necessary to consider how to further reflect the various dimensions of Yungbokhap education to promote students' creativity and autonomy in mathematics class.

The purposes of the study were to analyze STEAM instructional materials to find research trends on STEAM instructional program and to develop mathematics-centered STEAM instructional program for middle school second graders. To conduct this study, the researcher collected total 123 research papers and thesis focused on the development of STEAM instructional material and deduced implications for the development of mathematics-centered STEAM instrucational materials from the findings. The researcher found that important components of such as 'context for learning', 'internalization-mmersion', 'new challenge', and 'self-assessment' in STEAM education were not reflected properly in 19 mathematics-centered STEAM instructional programs. Therefore, the researcher put more emphasis on those components in the process of developing mathematics-centered STEAM program.
