  • The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the results of the existing research on mathematical beliefs, compare and synthesize the valuable results and to suggest implications for mathematical beliefs and research. As a result of checking the methodological quality of 59 articles in total using the MQA(Methodological Quality Assessment) checklist, most of them surveyed mathematical beliefs using questionnaires, and most of the studies were conducted on prospective teachers. As a result of systematic review, the conceptual characteristics of mathematical beliefs, object-specific characteristics, and the educational influence of mathematical beliefs were able to synthesize the meaning. Mathematical beliefs had important educational influences in the practice of teachers, students, and math classes. As the results of the study, we emphasize the importance of changing the beliefs of students and teachers in order to solve the problem of mathematical education, where students rely on private education rather than activity thinking, and teachers do not pay attention to students thinking. It has been shown that concrete support is needed for practicing participatory instruction focused on mathematical thinking.

  • The purpose of this study is investigating the various properties related with mathematical processes in the mathematical essay lessons, analyzing the positive changes of students, and proposing an example that the mathematical essay lessons can be a model for changing traditional mathematical lessons. To carry out the research, mathematical essay questions were developed based upon the high school mathematics curriculum in probability and statistics domain. Eight 12th graders were participated for the research. Variety of properties related mathematical problem solving, reasoning, and communication in the lessons were appeared. The research conclude that mathematical essays are helpful not only appearance of general properties related mathematics process, but also appearance of properties that would be low chance of developed.

  • There has been a gradually increasing focus on adopting mathematical modeling techniques into school curricula and classrooms as a method to promote students' mathematical problem solving abilities. However, this approach is not commonly realized in today's classrooms due to the difficulty in developing appropriate mathematical modeling problems. This research focuses on developing reformulation strategies for those problems with regard to mathematical modeling. As the result of analyzing existing textbooks across three grade levels, the majority of problems related to the real-world focused on the Operating and Interpreting stage of the mathematical modeling process, while no real-world problem dealt with the Identifying variables stage. These results imply that the textbook problems cannot provide students with any chance to decide which variables are relevant and most important to know in the problem situation. Following from these results, reformulation strategies and reformulated problem examples were developed that would include the Identifying variables stage. These reformulated problem examples were then applied to a 7th grade classroom as a case study. From this case study, it is shown that: (1) the reformulated problems that included authentic events and questions would encourage students to better engage in understanding the situation and solving the problem, (2) the reformulated problems that included the Identifying variables stage would better foster the students' understanding of the situation and their ability to solve the problem, and (3) the reformulated problems that included the mathematical modeling process could be applied to lessons where new mathematical concepts are introduced, and the cooperative learning environment is required. This research can contribute to school classroom's incorporation of the mathematical modeling process with specific reformulating strategies and examples.

  • Mathematical creativity in school mathematics is connected with problem solving. The purpose of this study was to analyse elementary students' the mathematical creativity using multiple solution tasks which required to solve a mathematical problem in different ways. For this research, I examined and analyzed the response to four multiple solution tasks according to the evaluation system of mathematical creativity which consisted of the factors of creativity(fluency, flexibility, originality). The finding showed that mathematical creativity was different between students with greater clarity. And mathematical creativity in tasks was different. So I questioned the possibility of analysis of students' the mathematical creativity in mathematical areas. According to the evaluation system of mathematical creativity of this research, mathematical creativity was proportional to the fluency. But the high fluency and flexibility was decreasing originality because it was easy for students to solve multiple solution tasks in the same ways. So, finding of this research can be considered to make the criterion in both originality in rare and mathematical aspects.
