The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of mathematical modeling activities on mathematical problem solving abilities and mathematical dispositions in elementary school students. For this study, we administered mathematical modeling activities to fifth graders, which consisted of 8 topics taught over 16 classes. In the results of this study, mathematical modeling activities were statistically proven to be more effective in improving mathematical problem solving abilities and mathematical dispositions compared to traditional textbook-centered lessons. Also, it was found that mathematical modeling activities promoted student's mathematical thinking such as communication, reasoning, reflective thinking and critical thinking. It is a way to raise the formation of desirable mathematical dispositions by actively participating in modeling activities. It is proved that mathematical modeling activities quantitatively and qualitatively affect elementary school students's mathematical learning. Therefore, Educators may recognize the applicability of mathematical modeling on elementary school, and consider changing elementary teaching-learning methods and environment.

This study analyzed how university students' motivations for learning mathematics and emotions for learning mathematics occur and how they relate to each other by introducing the factor called needs in the particular context of mathematics learning, mathematics class centered on peer discussions. We conceptualized the key concepts of the study, motivation for learning mathematics and emotion for learning mathematics. Based on them, we drew specific ways to observe motivation and emotion for learning mathematics and conduct the research. As a result, motivations for learning mathematics occurred to satisfy some needs. Also, positive emotions for learning mathematics occurred when some needs were satisfied, whereas negative emotion for learning mathematics occurred when some needs were not satisfied. Furthermore, when the needs leading to motivations for leaning mathematics were satisfied, positive emotions for learning mathematics occurred. The unfulfilled needs leading to negative emotions for learning mathematics make motivations for learning mathematics occur to satisfy those needs.

We would like to give an introduction about Korean Tertiary Mathematics and curriculum in the early 20th centuryan Ttails like, when tertiary mathematics was introduced in Korea, who adiated it, and how it appeared in curriculum for college education were presented. From the late 19th century, the royal circle of the dynasty, officers, socd. Felites, intellectu. sculum in tand many foreatn my mionaries, who entered Korea, began to establish educational ulstitutions begulnearlfrom the nt80s. Kearl GoJongtannounced thescript for general education icentur. Most of the new schoo scadiated western mathematics as tcompulsory course in their curriculumiese introduced tertiary mathematics in most of the curriculumurse end curriculum in, lfrom nt85 to 1960. Since then, tertiary mathematics was tautit at most of the new private and public schools of each level and in colleges. We have investigated the history of Korean tertiary mathematics with its curriculum from 1895 to 1960.

In this article, we look into the present status of Korean mathematics and stress the importance and the need of research on its history. Some researches on it have been done by Hong, though not known to the world. We search some of the ways of activating the research on Korean mathematics history and introducing it to the world.

In this study, in order to use history of mathematics effectively, we investigate the pre-service teachers' perceptions about utilizing history of mathematics. As a result, we must introduce history of mathematics will be able to apply concretely in class to the pre-service teachers. And We must provide the method which is various will be able to apply history of mathematics in class to the pre-service teachers enough. Also, We must provide the instance which relates in utilizing history of mathematics to pre-service teachers enough.

In this paper, we made an investigation into the awareness of mathematics by college students, they took a course in mathematics as the liberal arts. Mathematics as the liberal arts is divided into 2 types: mathematics focused on calculus or statistics, and living mathematics except them. We researched mathematics as the liberal arts on a curriculum in several universities and analyzed them. From these results, we suggest the improvement of mathematics as the liberal arts in university.

In this paper we analyze creative mathematical competition for Russian mathematics teachers, and try to find out some suggestions for developing mathematics teacher's professional abilities. For these purposes we analyze problems and result data on the creative mathematical competition(for example, mean, distribution, reliability, discrimination, difficulty), and extract some meanings related with expanding teacher's professional abilities and activating studies related with mathematical pedagogy.

영재 교육이 공교육 차원에서 확대됨에 따라 영재 지도 교사의 범위도 확대되고 있다. 이전에는 대학의 수학과 또는 수학교육과의 교원이나 대학원에서 수학 교육을 전공하는 교사들이 수학 영재를 지도하였으나, 점차로 영재 교육 연수를 받은 현장 교사들이 영재 지도를 맡고 있다. 이러한 현상은 역설적으로 수학 영재 교육에 대한 기본적인 사항에 대한 논의를 더욱 심각하게 제기한다. 특히 '수학 영재아란 누구인가'와 '수학 영재 교육은 무엇이며 어떻게 시켜야하는가' 하는 질문은 가장 근본적인 질문이면서도 영재 교육을 담당하는 교사들에게는 풀기 힘든 과제가 아닐 수 없다. 본 고에서는 수학 영재의 교수-학습 방법으로 일반적인 교수-학습 방법 중 창의력을 개발하여 주는 수학 학습 방법을 영재들에게 적합하게 적용할 것을 제안하며, 그 일례로 개방형 교수법의 발전적 적용 방법을 전개하여 보았다.
