The purpose of this study is to investigate elementary teacher's beliefs and attitudes about mathematics and how those reflect their teaching practices. For this goal : (1) Designing questionnaire to measure elementary teachers' beliefs and attitudes about mathematics (2) Inquiring into character of elementary teacher's beliefs and attitudes about mathematics after analyzing questionnaire (3) Analyzing two teachers' mathematics teaching practices to understand how teacher's beliefs and attitudes affect mathematics teaching practices.

There has been an increasing concern of how mathematical idea indicates and shares in a way to promote students' mathematical development. Such ideas highlighting need of the culture of mathematics classroom in mathematical education. The culture of mathematics classroom was constructed classroom social norms, sociomathematical norms, and classroom mathematical practice. This paper investigated how sociomathematical norms were constructed in two elementary mathematics classrooms by two different teachers.

There have been many studies about education in private institute, yet the researches on mathematics lessons in private institute have not been conducted enough. The purpose of this study is to analyze mathematics private lessons and obtain some implications to improve mathematics lessons in public education. First, a variety of mathematics private lessons were reviewed, and then three prevalent private lesson types were selected in each school level. Then, the nine lessons were observed and recorded, and characteristics were summarized. Later, analyzing frame with two axes (curriculum and communication) was developed, and nine lessons were located in the quadrant. As a conclusion, the weakness and strengths of mathematics private lessons were discussed along with implication to mathematics lessons in public education.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 수학교육에서 개방형 학습법이 수학적 창의력에 미치는 효과를 분석함으로써 수학적 창의력을 신장시킬 수 있는 수학 교수-학습법을 찾는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해, 초등학교 4학년 2개 반을 선정하여 한 반은 실험집단으로 하고 다른 반은 비교집단으로 하여 실험 연구를 실시하였다. 실험집단은 개방형 학습법에 의한 수업을 전개하였고, 비교집단은 일반적인 수업을 전개하였다. 그 결과로서, 오직 답이 하나로 제한되고 닫힌 통상적인 문제가 아니라 결과가 하나로 결정되지 않는 문제상황을 제재로 하여 거기에 내재하는 결과의 다양성을 적극적으로 이용하는 개방형 학습법에 의한 수업이 일반적인 수업보다 수학적 창의력 향상에 있어서 더 효과적이며, 수학적 창의력 신장에 미치는 효과에서 남 ${\cdot}$ 여간에 차이가 없이 남과 여 집단에서 모두 효과가 있었다.

In this research, I reported the activities of learning community on elementary mathematics which is consist of 1 university researcher 4 elementary teachers. The main activities of learning community are as follows: establishing objectives and contents of learning community, writing the critical essay on elementary mathematics lesson, and reflecting on the activities of learning community. The establishment of objectives and contents of learning community was built through agreement between university researcher and elementary teachers. In addition to, the members of learning community could share the idea and difficulties on elementary mathematics lesson and increase the professional development on elementary mathematics lesson by criticizing the lesson together.

This study attempted to design a virtual space using ZEP, a metaverse platform, to enable mathematics classes in the metaverse space, to apply it to mathematics classes, and to find out changes in students' affective domain. As a result, students showed positive effects in terms of subject efficacy, subject interest, intrinsic motivation, class satisfaction and participation. In addition, we found the possibility of customized classes for each student level by performing different missions in classroom classes with limited time and space.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of 'best practire' in mathematics and suggest some solutions to several problems emerging in mathematics classes of secondary schools. The study was carried out by using qualitative research methods such as class observations and in-depth interviews with six teachers. Based on the collected data, we could sort out the major patterns which characterize 'the good mathematics teaching' at schools in Korea. The common characteristics of best practice in mathematics are drawn out from the six cases. The common characteristics include revising the curriculum and text books, realistic mathematics education, using ICT and meta-cognition, introduction with motivation and interest, performance assessment and managing differentiated small group. Results implied that six teachers used a variety of instructional methods and strategies which is related with the common characteristics of good mathematics teaching. Also these teachers not only improved their own classroom practices but also participated in various professional community of mathematics education and shared their practical knowledge. In conclusion assorted efforts from the government and the school principals as well as the teachers are prerequisite for practicing and spreading good mathematics teaching across the classrooms.

The purpose of the study was to develop project based math learning using future prospective jobs to find out its effects on elementary school student's attitude toward mathematics and career awareness. Also, this study aims at implementation of this project based math learning program in school math education. The project based math learning using future prospective jobs was conducted through 19 lessons for 7 weeks. As a result, the project based math learning using prospective jobs is turned out to be effective on developing attitudes on mathematics and career awareness positively.

In this study, we estimate the effect of ability grouping on mathematics achievement empirically. We use propensity score matching(PSM) method to minimize selection bias and estimate the effect of ability grouping on the mathematics standard score of Scholastic Ability Test with the KELS(Korea Education Longitudinal Study) 6th stage data. The result indicated that relationship between ability grouping and mathematics achievement is positive and Policy efforts is needed to operate ability grouping effectively.
