  • Mathematics has been stereotyped as a male-dominated subject, and there is considerable evidence to support this belief. There has been much research in the past three decades on gender-related differences in elementrny and secondrny school mathematics. The research found that teachers possess different beliefs about male and female students that influence their teaching behaviour, which then directly or indirectly impact their students' behaviours, beliefs, and achievements in mathematics. Based on data collected from teacher questionnaire surveys in the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, this study examines teachers' beliefs about the achievements of boys and girls in mathematics. The study also compares the findings in the two regions surveyed. Results showed that teachers gave more attention to boys than girls, regardless of the teacher's gender. Not only are teachers more likely to recall more boys than girls, but also more boys than girls with average academic standards.

  • This paper is to find and to suggest alternative ways of description on function chapters in the middle school mathematics so that the descriptions be more closely related to daily life. The research has two phases: one for belief on the usefulness, the other for cognitive ability to solve the practical problems. Results are as following. 1. Most descriptions of corresponding chapters have emphases on the usefulness of functions so as to enhance beliefs on the use of functions. 2. Most practical functions contain expressions of large constant term and large coefficients in magnitude while those are not in the descriptions of tektbooks, especially in case of using ruled papers. 3. For quadratic functions, most students do not detect the degree of the function from the data presented by pairs of values of x and y. And those are not dealt with in most of textbooks, which are given in the MIC textbook.

  • This article describes the first results gained from a problem solving test that was administered to grade 4 students in the Netherlands. The students involved are all high achievers in mathematics. The analysis of the student responses gives cause for concern. The often-heard belief that teachers do not need to worry about the better students is clearly in need of revision. It turned out that when high achievers in mathematics are challenged to take on non-typical problems, their abilities are more limited than expected. The study revealed that the students wrote down hardly anything on their scrap paper to solve certain problems. Also it was found that they were not very persistent in their looking for a solution. In this paper we illustrate these first findings by discussing the results of one of the test problems.

  • The purpose of this study was qualitatively conducted for getting the answer of this problem by searching the beliefs of mathematics teachers with experience in technology and the factors that influences these beliefs. The participants in this study consist of eight teachers and one university professor having technological experiences from three years to ten years with a higher degree than M.A. The data was collected through focused group interviews for twice and individual interview as well. Data analysis was completed through several readings of transcripts and then main themes were derived by classifying, comparing, and contrasting codings. The result of this study showed that teachers with the experiences of technological tools have the concrete belief that technology helps both students and teachers understand mathematical concepts and enhance various representational activities and motivations. The result also identified the impeding factors of three beliefs of mathematics teachers. From these beliefs and factors, this study would suggest how to help teachers hold their beliefs about using technologies to improve their teachings and students' learning.

  • 연구의 목적은 ICME(2008,Mexico) 모델링 TSG21에서 논의한 모델일의 두 과제 설정 MMa, MeA이 학교수학에 효율적으로 적용이 될 수 있는지를 알아보는데 있다. 이 실험에서 수학과 교육과정에 적용할 수 있는 몇 가지 중요한 점을 발견했는데, 첫째는 MMa집단이 통제집단 IPS에 모델링 문항에서 성취도에 우의미한 차이를 보였고, 정보처리 문항에서도 좋은 성취수준을 보였다. 다시 말하면 모델링 MMa, MeA 교육이 가능하게 현행 학교 문제 해결 또는 개념 학습에 포함이 되고 더욱 발전 되는 시스템을 가질 수 있다. 둘째는 실험집단의 학생들이 생성한 모델링 처음 3단계 상황분석, 수학질문 구성, 모델설정에서 독특한 발견전략을 사용하였고 후반 2단계에서도 전통적 IPS 문제해결과 좋은 연결성을 보였다. 또, 실험집단 MMa, MeA 학생들이 개념적 시스템의 구성과정을 잘 이해했으며 Lesh & Sriraman(2005a, 2005b)의 개념적 시스템의 구성을 뒷받침 해 주었다. 셋째는 과제설정 MMa, MeA 간에 모델링의 사고행동인 수학적 상황 센스를 만들기(S), 창조하기(C), 확장하기(E), 재정의하기(RF)가 교실에서 활발하게 일어났다는 점이다. 따라서 Pollak등이 제언한 모델링 활동은 현행 IPS 활동과 의미 있게 교류 될 수 있다.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the influences of constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes on early childhood teachers' mathematics teaching efficacy. This study also examined the mediating effect of eco-friendly attitudes on the relationship between the other two variables. Methods: A total of 399 teachers teaching 3,4 and 5-year-olds in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon participated in this study. The data were analyzed using the SPSS Win 21.0 program and the Sobel test. Results: First, mathematical teaching efficacy of early childhood teachers was significantly correlated with constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes. Second, with teacher's career as the control variable, constructivist educational beliefs have more influence in mathematical teaching efficacy than the other variable. Third, eco-friendly teaching attitude partially mediated between the other two variables. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study imply that constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes are important factors on mathematics teaching efficacy. It is expected that it will be used as basic data for various programs that increase constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes.

  • The concept of variables is central to mathematics teaching and learning in junior and senior high school. Understanding the concept provides the basis for the transition from arithmetic to algebra and necessary for the meaningful use of all advanced mathematics. Despite the importance of the concept, however, much has been written in the last decade concerning students' difficulties with the concept. This Thesis is based on research to investigate the hypothesis that LOGO programming will contribute to 6th grader' learning of variables. The aim of the research were to; .investigate practice on pupils' understanding of variables before the activity with a computer; .identify functions of LOGO programming in pupils' using and understanding of variable symbols, variable domain and the relationship between two variable dependent expressions during the activity using a computer; .investigate the influence of pupils' mathematical belief on understanding and using variables. The research consisted predominantly of a case study of 6 pupils' discourse and activities concerning variable during their abnormal lessons and interviews with researcher. The data collected for this study included video recordings of the pupils'work with their spoken language.

  • Localization is one of the key problems in the navigation of autonomous mobile robots. The probabilistic Markov localization approaches offer a good mathematical framework to deal with the uncertainty of environment and sensor readings but their use for realtime applications is limited by their computational complexity. This paper aims to reduce the high computational cost associated with the probabilistic Markov localization algorithm. We propose a hybrid landmark-based localization method combining triangulation and probabilistic approaches, which can efficiently update position probability grid, while the probabilistic framework allows to make use of any available sensor data to refine robot´s belief about its current location. The simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the method.

  • 수학을 지도하고 배우는 방법에 관하여 교사 교육 프로그램을 통해서 교사들의 신념이 변화하는지 조사하는 것은 중요하다. 이런 의미에서 이 연구는 초등 예비교사들의 신념 변화를 알기 위해 이를 측정하는 도구를 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 수학교육 전문가들과 함께 검사 문항들을 생성하고 검토한 후, 연구자들은 이 도구의 구조 타당도를 평가하기 위해 수학과 교재연구 및 지도법 강좌를 수강한 166명의 예비교사들로부터 설문자료를 수집하였다. 검사도구 개발을 위해 평행 분석과 탐색적 요인분석을 차례로 적용하여 타당도와 신뢰도를 검토하였다. 연구 결과로 개발된 도구는 초등 예비교사의 교사 중심, 학습자 중심 교육 신념을 측정하는데 이용할 수 있다. 그리고 개발 도구를 적용해서 얻는 점수를 적절히 해석하는 방법을 제안한다.
