The purpose of this study is to develop an approach to teaching qualitative research methods (TQRM) for Library and Information Science. To draw trend of TQRM, 76 course syllabi collected in the research oriented universities' master and doctoral programs, were analyzed using content analysis. The study proposes both common topics and essential strategies for TQRM in terms of the paradigm of qualitative research, research design, wide range of approaches to QR, diversity of collecting and analyzing data, writing, and evaluation criteria. It is very important to identify qualitative stance and to understand paradigms and philosophical and theoretical frameworks of QR for conducting QR reiteratively, creatively, reflectively.

Qualitative research has become a growing area of interest among the Korean educational researchers for the last two decades. As a consequence, the number of studies based on qualitative methods has rapidly increased while the quality of qualitative research has not gained much credit among scholars in Korea. This study explores to current practice of qualitative approaches in mathematics education-related studies. With this in mind, this study also seeks ways to improve the validity and trustworthiness of qualitative approaches, and to present implications for the practical practice of qualitative approaches in mathematics education. To this end, a general trend was investigated by conducting a basic analysis of 13 papers that used qualitative approaches and published in Communications of Mathematical Education from 2019 to 2020. Of the 13 papers. Through the basic analysis, 6 out of 13 papers were selected as the object of qualitative text analysis. The result of this qualitative text analysis discusses issues related to the validity and trustworthiness of qualitative research in a detailed manner. In conclusion, based on the results of this qualitative text analysis, this study suggests several key points to keep in mind when applying qualitative approaches in the field of mathematics education in the future.

This qualitative study investigates how qualitative research methods are applied into educational journals, especially focusing on research articles in the field of mathematics education. Since the mid 90s, there has been growing interest in qualitative research in Korea. As a result, qualitative research methods are becoming one of the main research methods in education, quite different from before the mid 90s that quantitative research methods themselves alone were undispute d research methods. However, such change in research methods also lead to a matter of concern, the rigor and quality of qualitative research. In order to identify how qualitative research methods are applied, this study carefully selects an d analyzes 5 article that used qualitative methods and were published by Education of Primary School Mathematics Journal in 2012. Several leading scholars' ideas and theories of qualitative research are used in the analytical process, with careful attention paid to every detailed element of 5 selected articles. In sum, this study concludes with practical implications for qualitative researchers and discusses future directions for improving qualitative research practice.

수학교육학 분야에서는 학생들이 수학적 활동을 해나갈 때 학생들의 머리 속에서 어떠한 작용이 어떻게 일어나고 있는가에 대해 지대한 관심을 갖는다. 특히 급변하는 사회에서 개인차가 다양한 구성원을 대상으로 이들이 어떻게 수학을 습득해 나아가는가를 연구를 하고자 할 때 기존의 양적 연구 방법으로는 그들의 활동을 기술하는데 한계가 있어 그 대안으로 효과적으로 사용되는 방법이 질적 연구 방법이다. 주로 연구자의 관점에서 기술되는 질적 연구를 수행하다 보면 그 과정에서 연구자의 자세는 매우 중요한 위치를 차지한다. 따라서 사전에 질적 연구가 가지고 있는 특성과 요소들을 잘 인식하고 연구자의 독자적인(편견된) 관점을 최대한 배제하는 것이 질적 연구의 성패를 좌우한다. 본 논문은 질적 연구를 하는 연구자가 행하는 바람직한 방법과 자세를 질문과 몇 가지 예시들을 통해 알아봄으로써 질적 연구가 연구방법으로써 보다 더 잘 정착될 수 있길 기대한다.

In theory, mixed methods that incorporate both quantitative and qualitative approaches can maximize strengths of each method while minimize the short comings of each. Mixed methods research is a feature of educational research nowadays, and the number of studies applied mixed methods research has been gradually increasing. This study investigates how mixed methods research was applied in the field of mathematic education, especially focusing on how qualitative and quantitative methods are combined to best address their research questions. With this in mind, this study carefully selects and analyzes 4 research articles that used mixed methods and were published by Journal of Elementary Mathematics Education in Korea in 2015. This study provides detailed result of qualitative analysis on mixed methods research while other a few previous analysis on mixed methods research were tend to focusing on quantitative analysis, producing numeric quantitative information. The result of this study provides practical and in-depth analysis on how to improve validity and possibility of mixed methods research, addressing alternative ways to combine two different research methods and key elements to take into account.

The aim of this study is to examine the limits and problems of researchers that appear in the papers of applied qualitative research by phenomenological methods. Using phenomenological methods in the field of Pedagogy, pedagogical phenomenology is not to approach pedagogical issues that are closely related to human life through scientism or positivism, but to explain them in things themselves. The problem, however, is that cases misunderstood and distorted in the essential meaning of phenomenology are happening as domestic researchers are applying pure phenomenology(the philosophical phenomenology) to the field of phenomenology of practice(the pedagogical phenomenology). Especially, these researchers show some errors caused by lack of basic understanding about research logic and research techniques in qualitative research methodology. Thus if a researcher carry out a qualitative study by using phenomenological methods, she or he needs insights in analysing and interpreting the essence of the various phenomena appearing from the participants by comparing in with her or his own lives.

영재교육의 이론적 근거를 제시한 연구물이 국내에는 그다지 많지 않다. 뿐만 아니라 지금 한국과학재단에서 지원하고 있는 전국의 9개 대학 과학영재교육센터 역시 실천적인 차원의 활동을 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 외국의 대학부설 연구소들이 30년 이상 이와 같은 연구와 서비스를 지속적으로 실천해오고 있는 사례들을 우리는 쉽게 찾을 수 있다는 점을 거울 삼아 모처럼 마련된 국가적 차원의 지원을 토대로 그 바람직한 실천과 연구를 위한 방안을 다음과 같이 제시해본다. 첫째, 질적 연구의 집적에 힘써야 한다. 영재교육이라는 특수한 상황을 전제로 할 때는 더구나 그렇듯이 일반화를 전제로 한 양적 연구보다는, 사례연구와 같은 질적 연구물들의 집적에 노력을 아끼지 말아야할 것이다. 둘째, 교수-학습 활동은 활동이론과 구성주의 이론의 적절한 조화가 요망된다. 구성주의 이론에 입각한 교수-학습 활동의 모습을 단적으로 말하자면, 학습자 자신이 주어진 문제 상황에서의 탐구를 통하여, ‘구체적인 것에서 추상적인 것으로’ 나아가 스스로 지식을 구성하는 것이다. 그러나, 활동이론에 입각한 교수-학습 활동의 요지는 활동은 정말로 전형적인 활동에 국한하고 나머지는 교사의 설명에 의해 학습자들이 ‘추상적인 것에서 구체적인 것으로의 소급’이 가능하도록 하는 것이다. 완전히 정반대의 주장을 하는 것 같으면서도 일면 그 타당성들을 갖고 있는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 셋째, 학제적 ${\cdot}$ 통합적 연구가 절실하다. 연구의 측면에서 수학반 아동과 과학반 아동들의 활동상의 차이점이나 유사점 등에 대한 질적 연구를 시도해보는 것은 매우 의미있는 일이 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the research trends related to qualitative research on science education, to provide basic data of qualitative research on science education and to select the direction of follow-up research. The subject of the study is the level of Korean Citation Index (KCI-listed, KCI listing candidates), that can be searched by the key phrase, 'qualitative research', 'science education' in Korean language through the RISS service. In this study, the Descriptive Statistical Analysis Method is utilized to discover the number of research articles, classifying them by year and by journal. Also, the Sementic Network Analysis was conducted to the frequency of key words, Centrality Analysis throughout a variety of research articles using krkwic and Ucinet6.0. The results show that first, 138 research papers were published in 14 journals from 2005 to 2017. Second,, the analysis showed the highest frequency of appearance keyword in each article, 'elementary school teacher', 'gifted student', 'science teacher', 'class' were higher than others. third, according to the results of the whole Network Analysis, 'Analysis', 'elementary school', 'class' were analyzed as a highly influential node. And 'Comparison', 'inquiry', 'recognition', 'gifted students' were not close to the center of network. Fourth, keywords that appear in all sections are analysis, gifted students, and elementary school students, and can be analyzed continuously based on studies, lessons or recognition, and characteristics. Based on the results of this study, we explored the past and present of the study subjects related to the study of science education quality and discussed future direction of study.
