This study is a study that developed class materials that can apply Process-Focused Assessment to classes by paying attention to feedback using teacher learning community programs centered on teachers belonging to the same school in the field. In particular, this study was conducted with the aim of developing class materials applicable to actual classes. At this time, We thought about how to provide appropriate feedback when applying course-based evaluation in school field classes. It was conducted according to the procedure of data development research by Lee & Ahn(2021). As for the procedure of data development itself, an evaluation plan was established by establishing a strategy to reconstruct achievement standards and confirm understanding based on curriculum analysis. Next, an evaluation task, a scoring standard table, and a preliminary feedback preparation table were developed. In addition, based on these development materials, a learning guidance plan that can predict scenes when applying actual classes was developed as a result. This study has value as a practical study that can contribute to providing a link between theory and field schools. It is also meaningful in that it considered how the teacher would grasp when to provide feedback in performing rocess-Focused Assessment. Likewise, in providing feedback by teachers, it is meaningful in that it reflects in the data development how to prepare in advance and take classes according to the characteristics of the subject. Finally, it seems that the possibility of field application can be improved in that the results of the 4th class developed in this study are presented in a form applicable to the class directly in the field.

In this study, a new meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA), designed according to the optical properties of glasses was developed. The VCA is a technique applying optometry and vision correction procedure to optimization algorithm through the process of myopic/hyperopic correction-brightness adjustment-compression enforcement-astigmatism adjustment. The proposed VCA unlike the conventional meta-heuristic algorithm is an automatically adjusting global/local search rate and global search direction based on accumulated optimization results. The proposed algorithm was applied to the representative optimization problem (mathematical and engineering problem) and results of the application are compared with that of the present algorithms.

The weapon-target assignment (WTA) problem is a matter of effectively allocating weapons to a number of threats. The WTA in a rapidly changing dynamic environment of engagement must take into account both of properties of the threat and the weapon and the effect of the previous decision. We propose a method of applying the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) algorithm, a kind of meta-heuristic method, to derive optimal solution for a dynamic WTA problem. Firstly, we define a dynamic WTA problem and formulate a mathematical model for applying the algorithm. For the purpose of the assignment strategy, the objective function is defined and time-varying constraints are considered. The dynamic WTA problem is then solved by applying the GRASP algorithm. The optimal solution characteristics of the formalized dynamic WTA problem are analyzed through the simulation, and the algorithm performance is verified via the Monte-Carlo simulation.

Vendor Managed Inventory is a well-known vendor-retailer coordination approach in supply chain management where the vendor manages inventory of the retailer and determines the order interval and order quantity for the retailer. To consider practical situation, the upper limit of inventory for the retailer is set. If the inventory level for the retailer exceeds the upper limit, then the penalty cost is charged to the retailer. Furthermore, maximum allowable inventory level is set for the vendor to prevent the vendor from keeping much inventory. Single-vendor multi-retailer supply chain model with upper limit of inventory for vendor and retailers is studied. All the retailers' are assumed to have the common cycle time, and a vendor manages retailers' inventory and replenishes products. The mathematical formulation is introduced to minimize the total cost including the penalty cost violating the upper limit of inventory for retailers with the constraint of maximum allowable inventory level. The solution procedure based on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions is derived. KKT conditions are often applied to find an optimal solution of nonlinear programming problem with constraints. An illustrative example is used to show the application of the proposed solution procedure. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is done to find out the relationship between maximum allowable inventory level and other values such as order quantity, the number of shipment, vendor's cost, retailer's cost, and total cost. As maximum allowable inventory level decreases, the number of shipment decreases but total cost increases. Order quantity has the trend of decline and is affected by the number of shipment.

Open problems can provide experiences for students to yield originative and various products in their level, because it is open with respect to its departure situation, goal situation, or solving method. Teachers need to pose and utilize open problems in forms of solution-finding or proving problems. For this we first have to specify which resource and method to use by concrete examples. In this article, we exemplify a method and procedure of posing an open problem by the two cases in which we pose open problems by reorganizing given closed problems. And we analyze students' responses for the two posed open problems. On the basis of these, we reflect implications for mathematical education of open problems.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the aspects of analogy of high school student's thinking process revealed in the inquiry activity with synthetic division. The case study method of qualitative research was conducted with two high school 10th grade students. Structure-mapping model(SMM) of Gentner and similarity frames which were proposed by other researchers were utilized to analyze the data. Two students used analogy as a tool and they could discover synthetic division of more than 2 degrees, but they revealed different levels of mathematics discovery depending on the different degree of analogical thinking. Surface similarity in the process of inquiry activity played a vital role in analogical thinking. We asked students to explore and discover analogy based on structure similarity. Analogy based on the systematic approach made it possible to predict upper domain. Analogy based on the procedure similarity induced internalization. We could conclude that analogy has instrumental, heuristic and reflective characteristics.

IMS, a precision coordinate measuring system using theodolites, is being used to survey and align precision mechanical structures. Compared to conventional mechanical devices for precision measurement, such as CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine), the target objects of IMS have little limitations in their sizes and shapes, and can be measured in place. Also since IMS displays the coordinate values in real-time, it is possible to perform measurement and alignment of the objects simultaneously. In this paper, the elements and functions of IMS are introduced and a mathematical model of the new software, which utilizes an altered version of the 'Bundle' adjustment algorithm of analytical photogrammetry for the specific use of IMS, is demonstrated. Differences of the mathematical model of IMS from that of analytical photogrammetry are discussed by following the steps of the 'Measurement' option in the 'Main Menu' of the software. A new IMS calibration method is proposed to calculate better first approximations for the 4 unknown theodolite parameters and the coordinates of target objects. The software provides the 'Bundle' procedure for the first approximations of the unknowns before the real-time measurement. It also provides an opportunity of 'bundling' to re-adjust the collected positional data at the end of the measurement.

The purpose of study was to develop distance education programs that combine the characteristics of the programs for the math gifted students. To this end, the first is to establish the standards for the development of distance programs for the math gifted students. The second is to develop the distance education programs for the elementary school math gifted students according to the program procedure models for distance education. The third is to apply the programs developed to actual distance education field and analyze the results to verify the validity of the programs. This program can increase high-level mathematical thinking power even though it is the distance education, not the face-to-face education. Second, this program make contributions to active mathematical communication through newsgroup or reflective journals. Third, the use of Diffy Game facilitates the selection of in-depth contents, which will in turn enable the development of intensive programs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of students 'perception and expression about the motion of object following distance function $={x \atop 3}$ and distance function $y=\frac{x^3}{3}+3$ according to the necessity of research on students' perception and expression about integral constant. In this paper, we present the recognition and the expression of the difference of the constant in the relationship between the distance function and the speed function of the students, while examining the process of constructing the speed function and the inverse process of the distance function. This provides implications for the relationship between the derivative and the indefinite integral corresponding to the inverse process. In particular, in a teaching experiment, a constructive activity was performed to analyze the motion of two distance functions, where the student had a difference of the constant term. At this time, the students used the expression 'starting point' for the constants in the distance function, and the motion was interpreted by using the meaning. This can be seen as a unique 'students' mathematics' in the process of analyzing the motion of objects. These scenes, in introducing the notion of the relation between differential and indefinite integral, it is beyond the comprehension of the integral constant as a computational procedure, so that the learner can understand the meaning of the integral constant in relation to the motion of the object. It is expected that it will be a meaningful basic research on the relationship between differential and integral.
