The inverse function of a one-to-one correspondence is explained with a graph, a numerical formula or other useful expressions. The purpose of this paper is to know how low achieving students understand the learning contents needed reversible thinking about irrational functions. Low achieving students in this study took paper-pencil test and their written answers were collected. They made various mistakes in solving problems. Their error types were grouped into several classes and identified in this analysis. Most students did not connected concepts that they learned in the lower achieving students to think in reverse order in case of and to visualize concepts of functions. This paper implies that it is very important to take into account students' accommodation and reversible thinking activity.

초등학생 프로그래밍 교육은 프로그래밍 활동을 통해 논리적 사고력과 문제 해결력을 신장시키는 데 의의를 두고 다양한 프로그래밍 교육 방법과 학습 시스템을 개발하려는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 프로그래밍 교육의 목표가 프로그래밍적 사고력 함양이라면 프로그래밍적 사고를 언어로 표현하여 실제로 프로그램을 작성할 수 있는 프로그래밍 언어 사용 능력 함양도 필요하다. 초등학생 프로그래밍 언어 학습은 특정 언어의 문법적 설명과 해석을 지양하고 프로그래밍 언어에 대한 올바른 개념 이해와 활용을 통해 프로그램을 구현하는데 필요한 기초 소양 능력 함양에 중점을 두어야 한다. 따라서 초등학생을 위한 프로그래밍 언어 교육 방법의 체계화에 기여할 수 있는 하나의 모델로서, 프로그래밍 언어의 기본적인 개념 중 함수 개념을 효과적으로 지도할 수 있는 지도 원리와 학습 모형을 연구하였고, 함수가 가진 특성 즉 함수적 사고과정을 이용하여 프로그래밍 언어 기술 능력과 논리적 사고력 및 문제해결력의 고등인지기술 능력을 함께 신장시킬 수 있는 지도 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

본 연구는 중학교 1학년 함수 학습을 위해 패턴 활동으로 구성된 함수 지도 프로그램을 개발하고, 개발한 프로그램을 적용한 실험 집단(85명)과 교과서를 적용한 비교 집단(85명)간의 함수 학습에서의 효과를 분석하였다. 함수 지도 프로그램은 학생들이 패턴 활동을 동해 함수적 사고를 기르며, 활동적으로 수업에 참여하여 수학에 대한 자신감과 실생활의 연계성을 가질 수 있도록 구성하였으며, 적용 결과, 수학 수준별 수업을 하는 상반에서는 유의미한 차이를 보였고, 중반에서는 유의미한 차이는 없었으나 수업 시간에 흥미가 매우 높았다는 긍정적 평가를 할 수 있다.

The Continuous Risk Profile (CRP) has been well known to be the most accurate and efficient among existing network screening methods. However, the classical CRP uses safety performance functions (SPFs) which require a huge investment to construct a database system. This study aims to suggest a new CRP method using average crash frequencies of homogeneous groups, instead of SPFs, as rescaling factors. Hierarchical clustering analysis is performed to classify freeway segments into homogeneous groups based on the data of AADT and number of lanes. Using the data from I-880 in California, the proposed method is compared to other several network screening methods. The results show that the proposed method decrease false positive rates while it does not produce any false negatives. The method developed in this study can be easily applied to screen freeway networks without any additional complex database systems, and contribute to the improvement of freeway safety management systems.

This study investigated the Aristotle's continuity and the historical development of continuity of function to explore the differences between the concepts of mathematics and students' thinking about continuity of functions. Aristotle, who sought the essence of continuity, characterized continuity as an 'indivisible unit as a whole.' Before the nineteenth century, mathematicians considered the continuity of functions based on space, and after the arithmetization of nineteenth century modern ${\epsilon}-{\delta}$ definition appeared. Some scholars thought the process was revolutionary. Students tended to think of the continuity of functions similar to that of Aristotle and mathematicians before the arithmetization, and it is inappropriate to regard students' conceptions simply as errors. This study on the continuity of functions examined that some conceptions which have been perceived as misconceptions of students could be viewed as paradigmatic thoughts rather than as errors.

This study estimates the expected number of accidents in Kyungbuk Province to capitalize on experience gained from four years of accident history using the Empirical Bayes (EB) Method. The number of accidents of each site in Kyungbuk Province is recalculated using the Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) method to reflect the severities of the accidents. A cluster analysis is performed to determine similar sites and a unique Safety Performance Function (SPF) is established for each site. The overdispersion parameter is built to correct the difference between the actual number of accidents and the underlying probability distribution. To adjust for varying traffic characteristics of each site, a relative weight is applied and eventually estimates the expected number of accidents. The results show that the highest accident sites are Kimcheon, Youngcheon, and Chilgok, but on the other hand the lowest is Gunwi.

The aim of this paper was to estimate efficiency using a directional distance function to compare performances of bus agencies to determine if they have made efforts to operate efficiently and reduce emissions and accidents since public transportation reforms 2004. Drivers, mechanics, staff, buses, and fuel were used as input data and vehicle-kilometers (a desirable output), accident costs, and emission costs (undesirable outputs) as output data during June 2005. As a result, the efficiency with undesirable outputs was lower than the efficiency without undesirable outputs. However, the number of efficient agencies was more in case of the consideration of undesirable outputs. The reason is that the number of agencies whose possibility to reduce undesirable outputs are less than the possibility to reduce inputs was increasing, while the efficiency deviation among agencies was larger in case of the consideration of undesirable outputs. Meanwhile, the increase of CNG buses and operating speed and the improvement of mechanical efficiency had positive influence on the efficiency.

One of the most important issues in mathematics education is to restore the educational foundation of school mathematics, which requires fundamental discussions about 'What are the reasons for teaching mathematics?'. This study begins with the problematic that mathematics education is generally pursued as an instrumental know-ledge, which is useful to solve everyday problems or develop scientific technology. This common notion cannot be overcome as long as the mathematics education is viewed as bringing up the learners' ability to work out practical problems. In this paper we discuss the value of mathematics education reflecting on the theory of 'two fold structure of mind'. And we examine the ideas pursued by mathematics educators analyzing the educational theory of Plato and Froebel. Furthermore, we review the mathematics educational theory of F. Klein, an educator who led the reformation of mathematics education in the early 20th century and established the basic modern philosophy and curriculum of mathematics education. In particular, reflecting on the 'two fold structure of mind,' we reexamine his mathematics educational theory in the aspect of the mind cultivation so as to elucidate his ideas more clearly. Moreover, for the more deep discussion about Klein's thoughts on the mathematics education, his viewpoint on tile teaching of 'functional thinking' for the mind cultivation is reexamined based on the research results found in the developments of mathematics education after Klein. As the result we show that under the current mathematics education, which regards mathematics as a practical tools for solving everyday problems and an essential device for developing science and technology, there is a more important value for cultivating the human mind, and argue that mathematics education should contribute to the mind cultivation by emphasizing such an educational value.
