One of the terms that are most often used in mathematics classrooms by either teachers or students might be about 'understanding' of mathematical concepts. Although 'understanding' in mathematics teaching and learning has been highly emphasized by many people, there is no exact and undebatable definition of 'understanding' as of yet. This paper tries to contribute to unfolding the meaning and the structure of understanding in mathematics education along with various literature and finally enhance our understanding of 'understanding' in mathematics education.

This research is a study on student's understanding fundamental concepts of mathematical curriculum, especially in geometry domain. The goal of researching is to analyze student's concepts about that domain and get the mathematical teaching methods. We developed various questions of descriptive assessment. Then we set up the term, procedure of research for the understanding student's knowledge of geometric figures. And we analyze the student's understanding extent through investigating questions of descriptive assessment. In this research, we concluded that most of students are having difficulty with defining the fundamental concepts of mathematics, especially in geometry. Almost all the students defined the fundamental conceptions of mathematics obscurely and sometimes even missed indispensable properties. And they can't distinguish between concept definition and concept image. Prior to this study, we couldn't identify this problem. Here are some suggestions. First, take time to reflect on your previous mathematics method. And then compile some well-selected questions of descriptive assessment that tell us more about student's understanding in geometric concepts.

본 논문에서는 수학적 개념을 어떻게 가르쳐야 할 것인가를 고려한다. 특히 개념학습에 있어서 수학적 직관에 의해 개념이해, 계산기능, 응용의 3가지 요소를 균형적이고 통합적으로 달성하는 것을 목표로 삼는다. 이를 치한 방안으로 수학적 개념을 3종류의 수리철학인 직관주의, 논리주의, 형식주의에 의거하여 직관적 개념, 논리적 개념, 형식적 개념의 3가지 유형으로 분류한다. 또한 벡터이론의 중요한 9가지 개념을 통하여 유형의 차이에 대해 실제적인 고찰을 한다. 이로부터 벡터이론의 효과적인 개념학습을 위해서 요구되는 학습의 순서와 강조점을 제안한다.

A new concept of stability that includes Lyapunov and orbital stabilities and leads to concepts in between them is discussed in terms of a given topology of the function space. The criteria for such new concepts to hold are investigted employing suitably Lyapunov-like functions and the comparison principle.

We have performed a series of tests on 3rd, and 4th graders to estimate their understandings of some mathematical concepts. We found some noticeable differences between 3rd and 4th graders on fractional concepts, logical classifications. But for spatial, sense age didn't help much. Lower graders need to work with concrete shapes to improve their spatial concepts. For the fractional concepts, they also need to deal with various problems before they move on to fractional operations. In general feed-back is important and the curriculum needs to be reconstructed to help this matter. We haven't found any significant age deceleration fur children to arrive at the abstract operating stage compared to Piagetian research.

In pthis aper, mathematical terms in 7th elementary mathematics curriculum(from now, in short, 7th curriculum)are reexamined critically. In 7th curriculum there are 123 terms, which seems to be selected cautiously But it is not sure. There are lots of evidences for selecting terms incautiously, Through these evidences, following conclusions are induced: (1) Terms were not selected strictly. There are many terms omitted in 7th curriculum, which are necessary for understanding mathematical concepts. (2) There were no rational principles for selecting terms in 7th curriculum. Any rational principles can not be found out among terms in 7th curriculum. (3) Mathematical terms and real life terms in 7th curriculum were not distinguished explicitly. There were some real life terms in 7th curriculum, which were significant for understanding mathematical concepts. But other real life terms which is significant also for understanding mathematical concepts were not contained in 7th curriculum.

In this paper some attempts have been made: (a) To identify all the elementary minor concepts of the Highest Common Factor (H.C.F.) and the Lowest Common Multiple (L.C.M.), and (b) To find the sequential order of these elementary concepts. Total 385 elementary minor concepts have been identified and sequenced.

In mathematics education, teaching-learning activity can be divided largely into the understanding the mathematical concepts, derivation of principles and laws, acquirement of the mathematical abilities. We utilize various media, teaching tools, audio-visual materials, manufacturing materials for understanding mathematical concepts. But sometimes we cannot define or explain correctly the concepts as well as the derivation of principles and laws by these materials. In order to solve the problem we can use the computer. In this paper, character and movement state of various quadratic function graph types can be used. Using the computers is more visible than other educational instruments like blackboards, O.H.Ps., etc. Then, students understand the mathematical concepts and the correct quadratic function graph correctly. Consquently more effective teaching-learning activity can be done. Usage of computers is the best method for improving the mathematical abilities because computers have functions of the immediate reaction, operation, reference and deduction. One of the important characters of mathematics is accuracy, so we use computers for improving mathematical abilities. This paper is about the program focused on the part of "the quadratic function graph", which exists in mathematical curriculum the middle school. When this program is used for students, it is expected the following educational effect. 1, Students will have positive thought by arousing interests of learning because this program is composed of pictures, animations with effectiveness of sound. 2. This program will cause students to form the mathematical concepts correctly. 3. By visualizing the process of drawing the quadratic function graph, students understand the quadratic function graph structually. 4. Through the feedback, the recognition ability of the trigonometric function can be improved. 5. It is possible to change the teacher-centered instruction into the student-centered instruction. For the purpose of increasing the efficiencies and qualities of mathmatics education, we have to seek the various learning-teaching methods. But considering that no computer can replace the teacher′s role, tearchers have to use the CIA program carefully.

2015 개정 수학과 교육과정에서는 <인공지능 수학> 과목이 신설되었으며, 행렬과 공간벡터 내용은 2015 개정 수학과 교육과정에서 <고급 수학>을 제외하고는 <인공지능 수학>에만 등장하는 일시적이면서도 특별한 상황에 놓여있다. 본 연구는 2015 개정 수학과 교육과정에 따라 5종으로 출판된 <인공지능 수학> 교과서의 자료의 표현, 자료의 분류, 자료의 처리 단원에서 인공지능을 이해하는데 필수적인 수학 개념이자 관련 학습 요소인 행렬과 벡터에 대한 정의와 관련 하위 개념들이 어떻게 구현되고 있는지를 파악하고, 유사한 개념이 다루어지는 타 교과목과의 연결성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 행렬의 경우 기본 개념 제시에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 교과서별로 이미지 자료를 처리하는 데 있어 활용한 행렬의 하부 개념 유형이나 이용한 행렬의 연산에는 다소 차이가 있음이 확인되었다. 벡터의 정의와 하부 개념과 관련된 내용은 교과서별로 상이하였고, 벡터의 활용을 전개하는 데에 있어 벡터의 크기, 두 벡터 사이의 거리나 벡터의 내적에 대한 맥락의 수준 및 수학적인 해석에는 차이가 있었다. 이를 통해 벡터와 관련된 개념을 수학 교과의 연계성에 치중하여 설명한 교과서와 수학적 개념과 원리보다는 인공지능과 관련한 지식 학습에 초점을 맞춘 교과서가 식별되었다. 결과를 바탕으로 교육과정과 교과서 개발을 위한 시사점을 제시하였다.

정의의 정확한 이해, 수학개념의 이해, 정리나 공식의 이해와 활용에 대해 이해력의 수준을 알아보기 위해 학생들에게 이들에 관한 문제를 이용한 검사를 하고 수학의 기본개념과 내용에 대한 이해를 하는데 도움을 줄 수 있는 방법을 정리하면, 1) 검사에 이용된 문제가 정확히 이해도를 측정했는지 깊이 있는 연구가 필요하며, 2) 정의, 공식, 정리의 이해와 활용에 예나 반례를 보이고 조건이 빠지면 변화되는 상황에 대한 설명이 더 체계적이어야 이해의 폭을 넓힐 수 있으며, 3) 새로운 내용이 도입될 경우 기본개념의 중요성을 그 때마다 강조하고 반복 제시를 통해 확실한 이해에 도달하도록 하며, 4) 이해도 측정을 위한 좋은 문제 개발에 노력을 기울이고 대학수학 문제 개발에 수학지도 교수의 관심을 필요로 하며, 5) 학습지도에서 이들 문제를 이용하는 것이 도움을 줄 것이다.
