This study aims at improving teaching and learning abilities on the courses of probability/statistics in the fields of the S/W and H/W. In order to do this, this paper firstly conducts a survey which measures the perception of the surveyees' necessity of the related courses, and includes the contents that the related courses should cover. Secondly, this paper analyzes the educational effect on the achievement by studying Pattern Recognition, a major course of S/W and H/W, with combining probability/statistics or data analysis. Lastly, this paper suggests the promising pedagogical method for educating probability/statistics by using a survey and the case studies. In this way, this paper shows the necessity of probability/statistics for acquiring a new technology and the flexible approach of various subjects.

This study is based on the recognition that the school mathematics education should reinforce the heuristic and constructional aspects related with discoveries of mathematical rules and understanding of mathematical concepts from real world situations as well as the deductive and formal aspects emphasizing on mathematical contents precisely. The 11th grade students of one class from a city high school with average were chosen. They were given time to learn various functions of Excel in regular classes of "Information Society and Computer" subject. They don't have difficulty using cells, mathematical functions and statistical functions in spreadsheet. Experiment was performed for six weeks and there were two hours of classes in a week. Considering the results of this research, teaching materials using spreadsheets play an important role in helping students to experience probabilistic and statistical reasoning and construct mathematical thinking. This implies that teaching materials using spreadsheet provide students with an opportunity to interact with probabilistic and statistical situations by adopting engineering which can encourage students to observe and experience various aspects of real world in authentic situations.

In Korea, mathematics education has been taken according to the 7th national mathematics curriculum renovated by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development announcement in 1997. The education of probability and Statistics has been carried out as a part of this curriculum. We analyze and compare mathematics 1 textbooks for 11-12 grade students. Descriptions of random variable, sample variance and sample standard deviation, distribution of sample mean, and etc. which are on some textbooks, are misleaded in school education. We suggest the unbiased estimator of sample variance in accordance with textbooks and central limit theorem of sample mean under normal population.

In school mathematics, concepts of definite integral and integration by substitution have mathematical connection with introduction of probability density function, expectation of continuous random variable, and standardization of normal distribution. However, we have difficulty in finding mathematical connection between integration and continuous probability distribution in the curriculum manual, 13 kinds of 'Basic Calculus and Statistics' and 10 kinds of 'Integration and Statistics' authorized textbooks, and activity books applied to the revised curriculum. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a teaching method connected with mathematical concepts of integral in regard to three concepts in continuous probability distribution chapter-introduction of probability density function, expectation of continuous random variable, and standardization of normal distribution. To find mathematical connection between these three concepts and integral, we analyze a survey of student, the revised curriculum manual, authorized textbooks, and activity books as well as 13 domestic and 22 international statistics (or probability) books. Developed teaching method was applied to actual classes after discussion with a professional group. Through these steps, we propose the result by making suggestions to revise curriculum or change the contents of textbook.

Because the probability education in the elementary statistics course is the starting part of the inferential statistics, it is hard to follow the lecture for undergraduate students. In this paper, we suggest the useful cases for the probability education in the elementary statistics course and give the corresponding R scripts.

Because statistical concepts are important parts in school mathematics, mathematics teachers have trained by special education model. In this study, a desirable direction of curriculum on probability and statistics at pre-service for mathematics teacher is considered. We proposed four subjects as Exploration and Analysis of Data for Mathematics Teacher, Probability and Statistics I, II for Mathematics Teacher and Statistical Software for Mathematics, and suggested the constituents and something being kept in mind for each subject.

7차 교육과정(1997)의 도입으로 확률 및 통계단원이 중등 수학 교과과정에서 독자적인 영역을 확보하게 된 만큼 그 목적에 부합하면서 효율적이고 흥미를 유발시킬 수 있도록 교과교육 매체 개발에 투자를 해야 할 시기라고 본다. 교과교육 매체의 한 방법으로 Excel을 중학 교육과정에 나타난 통계교과내용을 지원하게끔 Excel의 기본 메뉴, 분석도구, 그리고 Visual Basic을 활용한 매크로 작성방법에 대하여 다루었다.

The purpose of this study is to improve the learning ability of probability/statistics for H/W majors. Firstly, we developed a teaching method coupling probability/statistics with programming and multimedia signal processing courses that are opened in the H/W major curriculum. By use of its teaching-learning, we tried to verify the effectiveness on the improvement of learner's academic achievement and then analyze its educational efficiency through the regression analysis. Secondly, by analyzing the surveys and the statistical results of the education cases, we proposed a management plan on efficient teaching-learning in order to cultivate the learning ability of probability/statistics at a future time. Lastly, we concluded that probability/statistics is a required course of learners so as to contribute for the advanced technical development and the enhanced competitiveness in the field of the H/W.

This study examined the ambiguous using the terminology of statistics at mathematics textbook of highschool in Korea and proposed the correct using of sampling error and sampling distribution of sample mean with consistency. And this paper proposed that the concept of error have to teach in context of sampling action in school mathematics.
