Geometry in school mathematics is the field that has the possibility of diverse approach such as Synthetic Geometry and Analytic Geometry. Synthetic Geometry is handled in middle schools and Analytic Geometry in the first year of high schools. Therefore, this research show for the possibility of using Synthetic Geometry in high schools which was learned already in middle schools and the way of integrating both of them concretely. This is expected to help students understand the mathematical meaning of figures a lot.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the attitudes towards mathematics of high school students by comparing students of a general public school and a foreign language high school. The researchers were interested in how the two groups, middle or middle lower achievers and high achievers, showed their attitudes toward mathematics and where their attitudes were derived from. For the investigation, the researchers surveyed 121 students of general public high school and 64 students of a foreign language high school. Reliability, mean difference with t-test and frequency were analyzed. The results showed that many students from both groups had negative attitudes toward mathematics. However, the causes of the attitudes were different between the two groups. This implies that we need to reform the instructional methods and curricula of mathematics cources.

This study aimed to analyze the shifts in the mathematics domains of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) since its inception in 1993, with the intent of identifying improvements for the future. The goal is to provide insights for exploring the direction of assessment in Korean high school mathematics education. To this end, we focused on the test system, content area, and behavioral area within the CSAT mathematics domains. Key findings include: first, the test structure influences the assessment factors and item types, in addition to the examination time and number of items. Second, by analyzing the content area, we established a correlation between the national curriculum and assessment area, and confirmed the importance of setting the assessment area. Third, the examination of the behavioral area tended to the item-type fixation, demonstrating the necessity of the ongoing modifications in evaluation item types. Building upon these findings, we discuss the direction of an evaluation that considers the evolving demands and shifts within mathematics education.

국가 교육과정에서 컴퓨터 하드웨어만을 교과 내용으로 하는 최초의 과목은 4차 교육과정 시기 중공업 계열 고등학교에 신설된 '전자 계산기 구조' 과목으로 현재의 '컴퓨터 구조' 과목에 해당된다. 컴퓨터 구조 과목의 교과 목표는 학습자가 컴퓨터의 구조와 동작 원리를 바르게 이해하고 컴퓨터를 효율적으로 활용할 수 있도록 하는데 있다. 교과 목표를 위해서는 교과서의 내용이 정확해야 하고 현재의 컴퓨터 구조를 바르게 반영하고 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 공업 계열 고등학교의 컴퓨터 구조 과목에 제시된 연산 장치 영역 내용의 문제점을 컴퓨터 구조 전문 서적과의 비교를 통해 파악해 보고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 교과서의 연산 장치 영역에는 정확성과 일관성이 결여된 개념 정의와 현재의 CPU 구조를 반영하지 못한 내용이 포함되어 있었다. ALU와 연산 장치에 대한 설명이 교과서별 상이하였고, 연산 장치의 구성 요소들은 현재 사용되고 있는 CPU 구조를 바르게 나타내고 있지 않았다. 이러한 문제점들은 컴퓨터 과학의 역사적, 기술적 고찰을 통해 개선될 필요가 있다.

Due to a lack of teachers and available classrooms, high school students are not able to take the elective courses of their choice. In order to solve this problem with online instruction, I have used the following methods: First, I conducted a literature study to examine the concepts and models of online instruction. Second, I compared the number of students who took the CSAT subject tests with the number of students who enrolled in optional courses through KEDI's Education Statistics Services. Using the data gathered from this comparison, I could predict the demand for each optional course. Finally, I proposed amending the Elementary and Secondary Education Act; the Enforcement Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act; the General Statement Curriculum of High Schools; and the Guidelines for Recording School through the expert interviews for on-line instruction in order to establish online instruction for high school students.

The electric technology of modem stage is able to be convenient our everyday life and offers the chance to become a strong economic country. Therefore the education about the electricity and magnetism comes to be more and more important to enhance the electric technological power of each nation. In this paper, it is compared that how much the electricity and magnetism are treated in science education of primary and secondary school level in several nations such as USA, England, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea. We selected the teaching topics about the electricity and magnetism described in the curriculum of each nations and classified the topics by similarity to be easy in comparing. In results, Korea treats poorly most of the subjects in the middle school and early high schoollevel, but teach abrupt.ly much in the selection course of high school.

The objective of this study was to develop curriculum for successful articulation education program between department of information processing in Daejonsinil vocational high school and school of computer & communication in Hyechon College. This study was carried out through review of literature, survey and discussions with panels of judges composed of experts in the related fields. Gap analysis was used to interpret the survey results. Based on the results of this study, several educational needs and recommendations for articulation education of computer & communication area both in vocational high school and college were suggested.

Identification on the educational problems of current computer science curriculum is important in order to make the computer coursework to be systematic as to other courses, since the necessity of computer course is increased in high school education. This paper analyzes the characteristics and problems on the 'Information society and computer' course suggested by the 7th curriculum, and find out the theoretical backgrounds on the choice-oriented education in high schools. In addition, it is surveyed on the necessity of the course, the formalism of course operation, the difficulties of educational materials used in classroom, and the difference between teachers and students on the education services by the questionnaire investigation.

In this paper, to provide an idea for the 2022 revised mathematics curriculum by restructuring the content of the 2015 mathematics curriculum, the content elements of recurring decimals of textbooks, which showed differences in the curriculum of Korea and Japan, were analyzed. As a result of this study, in Korea, before the introduction of the concept of irrational numbers, repeating decimals were defined in the second year of middle school, and the relationship between repeating decimals and rational numbers was dealt with. In Japan, after studying irrational numbers in the third year of middle school, the terminology of repeating decimals is briefly dealt with. Then, when learning the concept of limit in the high school <Mathematics III> subject, the relationship between rational numbers and repeating decimals is dealt with. Based on the results of the study, in relation to the optimization of the amount of learning in the 2022 curriculum revision, implications for the introduction period of the circular decimal number, alternatives to the level of its content, and the teaching and learning methods were proposed.
