수학적인 사고에는 여러 가지 유형이 있는데 그 중에서 가장 기본이 되는 사고유형 중의 하나가 일반화이다. 수학에서 일반화는 지식을 발견 및 발명할 뿐만 아니라 새로운 수학 이론을 확립해 나가는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 일반화를 경험적 일반화와 이론적 일반화로 구분하였고, 일반화에 대한 선행연구를 바탕으로 이 두 유형의 일반화에 대해 고찰한다. 또한, 두 유형의 일반화에 대한 학교수학에서의 다양한 예를 찾아 제시할 뿐 아니라 새로운 예를 제시함으로써 경험적 일반화와 이론적 일반화의 개념이 정립될 수 있도록 한다. 마지막으로 중학교 및 고등학교에서 다루는 한 가지 학습내용을 통해 경험적 일반화와 이론적 일반화에 대한 체계적인 분석을 실시하고 교육적인 시사점을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate children's informal knowledge of the fractional multiplication and to develop a teaching material connecting the informal and the formal knowledge. Six lessons of the pre-teaching material are developed based on literature reviews and administered to the 7 students of the 4th grade in an elementary school. It is shown in these teaching experiments that children's informal knowledge of the fractional multiplication are the direct modeling of using diagram, mathematical thought by informal language, and the representation with operational expression. Further, teaching and learning methods of formalizing children's informal knowledge are obtained as follows. First, the informal knowledge of the repeated sum of the same numbers might be used in (fractional number)$\times$((natural number) and the repeated sum could be expressed simply as in the multiplication of the natural numbers. Second, the semantic meaning of multiplication operator should be understood in (natural number)$\times$((fractional number). Third, the repartitioned units by multiplier have to be recognized as a new units in (unit fractional number)$\times$((unit fractional number). Fourth, the partitioned units should be reconceptualized and the case of disjoint between the denominator in multiplier and the numerator in multiplicand have to be formalized first in (proper fractional number)$\times$(proper fractional number). The above teaching and learning methods are melted in the teaching meterial which is made with corrections and revisions of the pre-teaching meterial.

Approximation' is one of central conceptions in calculus. A basic conception for explaining 'approximation' is 'tangent', and 'tangent' is a 'line' with special condition. In this study, we will study pedagogically these mathematical knowledge on the ground of a viewpoint on the teaching of secondary geometry, and in connection with these we will suggest the teaching program and the chief end for the probable teaching. For this, we will examine point, line, circle, straight line, tangent line, approximation, and drive meaningfully mathematical knowledge for algebraic operation through the process translating from the above into analytic geometry. And we will construct the stream line of mathematical knowledge for approximation from a view of modern mathematics. This study help mathematics teachers to promote the pedagogical content knowledge, and to provide the basis for development of teaching model guiding the mathematical knowledge. Moreover, this study help students to recognize that mathematics is a systematic discipline and school mathematics are activities constructed under a fixed purpose.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of average unit learning on the knowledge of the representative value of 5th grade elementary school students. In the information-oriented society, the ability to organize and summarize the data has become an essential resource. In the process of correctly analyzing statistical data and making reasonable decisions, the summary of the data plays an important role, and it is necessary to learn the concept of representative values in order to describe the center of the data in a series of numbers. For research, an informal knowledge type possessed by a fifth grade elementary school student with respect to a representative value before learning an average unit is examined and compared with the representative value after learning the average unit. A suggestion point for representative value guidance in school mathematics is provided while examining the change in knowledge with respect to the representative value. Seeing the informal types of elementary school students' representative values will help them learn how to formalize the concept of representative values in middle and high schools. It will give suggestions about the concept of representative values and the method of instruction that should be dealt with in elementary schools. The informal knowledge about the representative value can help with formal representative value that will be learned later. Therefore, This study's discussions on statistical learning of elementary school students are expected to present meaningful implications for statistical education.

지식의 양이 기하급수적으로 늘어나고 지식의 창의적인 활용이 세상을 지배하는 지식기반사회에 사는 현대의 아동들에게 무엇보다 중요한 창의력이 오히려 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보이는 이 때, 온라인 학습을 통해 아동들의 수학적 창의력을 신장할 수 있다고 생각하며 수학적 창의력의 요소중 다양한 관점으로 문제를 해결하는 능력을 신장시키기 위해 수학적 능력을 측정할 수 있는 평가도구 프로그램과 측정도구를 이용하여 실시하여 수학적 창의력이 신장됨을 알았다. 그 결과 온라인 학습은 수학적 창의력 신장에 도움을 준다고 할 수 있다.

Nam(2008a) suggested that the role of teacher for helping students to learn mathematical structures should be the manifestor of tacit knowledge. But there have been lack of researches on embodying the manifestation of tacit knowledge. This study embodies the manifestation of tacit knowledge by showing that exemplification is one way of manifestation of tacit knowledge in terms of goal, contents, and method. First, the goal of the manifestation of tacit knowledge through exemplification is helping students to learn mathematical structures. Second, the manifestation of tacit knowledge through exemplification intends to teach students mathematical structures in the tacit dimension by perceiving invariance in the midst of change. Third, the manifestation of tacit knowledge through exemplification intends to teach students mathematical structures in the tacit dimension by constructing explicit knowledge creatively, reflection on constructive activity and social interaction. In conclusion, exemplification could be seen one way of embodying the manifestation of tacit knowledge in terms of goal, contents, and method.

This study investigated the perceptions of beginning teachers about teacher knowledge. Reflections and improvement of their class knowledge have been perceived as the most important factors by beginning teachers. In terms of utilization of actual classes, teacher knowledge, mathematical concepts and correlations such as connection linked to class contents and hierarchy have been used the most. Among the needed teachers knowledge, knowledge of student understanding and mathematics content knowledge was the most essential knowledge that could be mainly formed through classroom experience and teacher training program. On the other hand, knowledge about technology and assessment was not necessary or useful factor for beginning teachers. To facilitate formation of beginning teachers' knowledge, teacher introductory program, mentoring program, interactive relationship with teacher education institutes, curriculum improvement for teacher education institute and the development and dissemination of various teachers training program would be required.

This article examines the educational background of the knowledge system in mathematics education from three perspectives-behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism-centered on psychology in mathematics education. First, the relationship between mathematical education and learning psychology is reviewed according to the flow of time. Second, we examine the viewpoints of objectivism and constructivism for school mathematics. Third, we look at the psychology in mathematics education and constructivism from the perspective of learning theory. Lastly, we discuss the implications of mathematics education.

This paper introduces some theories that can be effectively applied for the development of teaching and learning mathematics using fuzzy theory developed by Zadeh who defined fuzzy set and knowledge space by Doignon and Falmagne. Especially, we expect that two theories mentioned above are expected to solve the situation that could not be taken care of the present evaluation method.

새로운 것을 학습할 때 학생들은 자신이 어떤 지식 상태를 갖고 있는지에 따라 상당히 다른 이해의 정도를 나타낸다. 유의미한 이해를 이끌어 내기 위해서 교사들은 학생들의 사전 지식상태를 파악하고 그것에 근거하여 학습과제를 제시할 필요가 있으며, 어떤 단원을 학습한 후에 학생들의 지식상태를 파악해 보는 방법도 모색되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 충청북도 C도시 4개 초등학교 5학년 학생 285명에게 수학 5-가 6단원을 학습한 후 넓이 측정과 관련된 지식상태 검사를 실시하고 그 결과를 Doignon & Falmagne(1999)의 지식공간론을 활용하여 분석하였다. 학생들의 답안에서 평면도형의 넓이 측정과 관련된 지식의 상태를 파악하고 세 가지 범주-측정의 의미 파악, 공식 활용, 전략의 사용-에서 지식 상태의 위계도를 작성하였다. 첫 번째 범주인 측정의 의미 파악과 관련하여 학생들은 둘레나 넓이의 속성 파악에서 혼동을 보이거나 직관적으로 넓이를 비교해야 하는 과제에서도 계산을 시도하는 지식 상태가 반 이상인 것으로 드러났다. 두 번째 범주인 공식 활용과 관련해서는 학생들의 상당수가 부적합한 수치를 넣어 무조건 넓이 계산을 시도하고 있었다. 또한 세 번째 범주인 전략 사용에 관해서는 분할이나 등적변형 등의 전략을 알고 있는 학생 중에도 40% 가량은 문제를 표상하는데 어려움이 있어 해결하지 못하는 것으로 드러났다.
