We would like to give an introduction about Korean Tertiary Mathematics and curriculum in the early 20th centuryan Ttails like, when tertiary mathematics was introduced in Korea, who adiated it, and how it appeared in curriculum for college education were presented. From the late 19th century, the royal circle of the dynasty, officers, socd. Felites, intellectu. sculum in tand many foreatn my mionaries, who entered Korea, began to establish educational ulstitutions begulnearlfrom the nt80s. Kearl GoJongtannounced thescript for general education icentur. Most of the new schoo scadiated western mathematics as tcompulsory course in their curriculumiese introduced tertiary mathematics in most of the curriculumurse end curriculum in, lfrom nt85 to 1960. Since then, tertiary mathematics was tautit at most of the new private and public schools of each level and in colleges. We have investigated the history of Korean tertiary mathematics with its curriculum from 1895 to 1960.

The study aims to compare our newest mathematics curriculum with Singapore's and analyse the differences of them. Because the levels of our mathematics education have been evaluated to be difficult to our students, we try to find that the evaluation is appropriate and there are other characteristics we have to notice carefully, and provide some implications for our mathematics curriculum. We mainly compared both mathematics curriculums focussed on the national documents of mathematics curriculum, and textbooks in the level of middle school. The results are following. Firstly, Singapore has three tracks based on students' abilities and there are three kinds of textbooks on the tracks. This is a different from our teaching on students level. Secondly, the introductions of our mathematics curriculum contents are not faster than Singapore's, but they have more concrete ranges of contents than us. Thirdly, the focus of Singapore's mathematics education lies on problem solving, and we can find some good examples of contents of textbook focussed on problem solving. Some mathematical concepts are introduced simply without any process of students discoveries or investigations, and the focus lies on the problem solving using the concepts. Fourthly, Singapore's mathematics textbooks are more emphasis on the internal connections than ours.

This study focuses on the teaching of fraction related to curriculum, introducing time of fraction, the meaning of fractions in textbook, material of teaching of fraction concept, teaching model of introducing time of fraction concept, special cases of teaching fraction and common points of representation of fraction among Korea, New Zealand and Singapore. For this study, Korea's mathematics textbooks(3-1, 3-2, 4-1, 5-1, 6-1) and New National Curriculum Mathematics(3, 4, 5. 6. 7)of New Zealand and New Syllabus Primary Mathematics(2B, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 6A)of Singapore were selected for comparison and analysis. As a results we will suggest a reference to the development of mathematical curriculum, teaching fraction and improving the quality of the textbook through a method of comparative analysis of Korea, New Zealand and Singapore.

The purpose of this study was to develop the way in improving of teaching statistics in school mathematics. I reviewed the curriculum of Korea and America in statistics at School. I proposed the effective way of teaching statistics with the curriculum and content of statistics and the method of teaching of students and teachers.

The seventh curriculum of mathematics which value much of the learners' participative activities became conspicuous by introducing a new system of ‘activities’ to the textbook in particular, Then I categorized and analyzed the ‘activities’ proposed in actual textbooks in the context of specific operative activities. The objective of this study is for understanding the features and trends of the activities proposed in textbooks.

For the students who live in the knowledge-information oriented society, thinking rationally and training mathematical communication ability are necessary. I represented three ways of teaching-learning related to mathematical communication in revised 2006 curriculum of elementary mathematics. In this study, based on three matters from devised curriculum, I have done survey-analysis of mathematical representation and characteristics of contents of major theses about mathematical communication published after 2007 curriculum revision, for further mathematical communication teaching.

In this paper I analyzed mathematics textbooks of elementary school in 1st curriculum. I found that they used the natural closed items and children's play. And they also delayed the introduction of the symbol and letters. Finally they had the system to practice what students learned repeatedly.

Due to the expansion of rolling admissions and diversification of college admissions, the widening gap between the level of scholastic ability and academic performance is the reality of college education. Thus, based on the incoming class of College A, this study analyzes the correlation between incoming students who enrolled in a college mathematics course during their first semester. Through this analysis, this study searches for a way to efficiently instruct students from various learning backgrounds when enrolled in the same course. Also, this study searches for a solution to lower the deviation of college mathematics' academic performance among engineering majors by examining the efficiency of a joint managed college mathematics curriculum.

One of the most important concepts in the 7th curriculum of Korea is the student-centered education. Since educational evaluation has significant influence on the whole curriculum, if we realize the importance of the student-center education on the curriculum we should establish the student-centered educational evaluation system. Educational evaluation is defined by the theory of information to permit information users to identify, to measure, to manipulate and to communicate useful educational information concerning an educational curriculum for making decisions. If we accept the above definitions, the demands of information users are significant in the light of conceptual framework of educational evaluation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the conceptual framework of educational evaluation from information users' perspectives and to investigate the qualitative characteristics which satisfy information users' need for making decisions. We also show that students aren't provided sufficient evaluation results information to decide for their study plans by analyzing an evaluation study of the 7th primary curriculum. Finally, this study suggests how to improve an evaluation system for students in mathematics.

National university of education here in Korea have had a special purpose training competent primary school teacher hoping our nation and society so far. We can guess how students are educated and which direction focuses on education in college or university if we see the curriculum of the university. But the content of mathematics curriculum which is currently operated in ten university of education is a little different according to the major subject (pure mathematics, subject matters and so on)of the faculty or situation of the university. The purpose of this study is to get some suggestive points for the development of mathematics program and lecture assessment system which are appropriate training primary school teacher of future oriented as a special purpose university with looking around of lecture assessment system as well as comparing and looking around of the curriculum which are establishing at the auckland college of education there in the New Zealand and mathematics education department here in Daegu national university of education.
