  • The purpose of this paper was to review NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, which is an updated version of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989). With releasing the previous version, NCTM has affected mathematics education in other countries as well as in the United States. The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics was revised in line with current technology and requirement of students, who will live in the 21st century. However, many mathematics teachers and educators do not know about the contents of this new version even though most of them already know what the version is about. In this paper, the author addressed the contents of the version with his personal opinions and suggested some lessons from the version.

The Establishment Story of 1989 NCTM Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics: based on the perspective of history of U.S. Mathematics Education in the 1970s and 1980s (1970-80년대 미국의 수학교육 연구동향 및 활동에 기초한 1989년 미국 NCTM 규준집 편찬 역사에 대하여)

  • This paper provides a review of the historical development story of the NCTM 1989 Standards based on perspective of history of U. S. mathematics education and research in the 1970s and 1980s. In contrast to other nations, the U. S. has always favored local over national control of education. But by 1983, mounting evidence of failures of U. S. education moved the authors of A Nation at Risk to recommend strengthened requirements, rigorous Standards, and higher expectations for all students. In response to A Nation at Risk, the NCTM began to develop the nation's first educational Standards. This paper satisfies the readers who desire to know the entire development story of the first Standards.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop evaluation tools for young children's mathematical ability based on the content standards of NCTM and to verify the suitability of the tools. The tools consist of 5 sub-tests with 90 items, including number and operation, algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability. The tool analysis was examined with 300 three-to five-years-old children and 31 math education professionals. The results of this research are as follows : First, in order of age the passing rate increased. The gap between high and low score group reveals a statistically meaningful difference. Second, the internal consistency reliability coefficient, Cronbach ${\alpha}$, is .96. Test-retest reliability is around .90. The concurrent validity correlation between this tools and Choi Hye-Jin's test(2003) is .85. The analysis of the content validity was proved appropriately by math education professionals.

  • The purpose of this study is to introduce the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for mathematics which is released on June 2, 2010 in the U.S.A. The common core state standards are aligned with college and work expectations, and include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills. The most distinguishable differences between the CCSS standards and the NCTM standards are that the CCSS standards considers the mathematical modeling as one of the mathematical content domains such as algebra, geometry, ets, and the standards are designed by working together with school leaders of all states.

  • In general, early childhood mathematics education is conducted and operated in early childhood education curriculum. Moreover, Korean early childhood education is approached and conducted by an U.S. NCTM. So, it is meaningful to compare American and Korean early childhood mathematics education curriculum. Therefore, I has studied how those points of views of the mathematics education are instituted in the curriculums respectively. The main purpose of this study is to investigate principles of NCTM(National Council of Teacher of Mathematics): content standards and process standards. I hope the finding of this study would reflect to the 7th Korean early childhood mathematics education including learning and curriculum constitution.

  • Main stream of ’90s mathematics education in the U.S must be the NCTM Standards. Since it was published in 1989, much focus has put on it and numerous research has been tried to apply it to real mathematics classes. But there hasn't always good fame. Some schools have already mathematics. NCTM(1998), Standards and Principles for School Mathematics: Discussion Draft taken the curriculum based on it and recently the negative results have been exposed. Not a few parents, teachers and experts became to be worry about that. In this situation, I suppose it is worth to review the original purpose of Standards, look into the recent problems related to it's application and think of improvement or alternatives. This article mainly includes first two issues and particularily considers what problems are to have to be reconsidered in Korea. The following four are what I draw as problem: Basic operations; constructivism;texts and work books;trial and error strategy and group activity.

  • This study was composed of series of guidance contents in the sub-field of spatial sense from the 7th curriculum according to the series theory by the level by Gagne & Briggs. As for the guidance contents in this field, this study discovered that it had ‘experiencing the various space senses’,‘operating it mentally (internalization)’, and ‘utilizing and expressing the space sense mathematically’ in order largely. The contents of series constitution by the subject and by the stage, a result of this research, will be helpful to the establishment of achievement standard and valuation standard by the stage.

  • For the first time ever in its history, the United States has a national version for K-12 mathematics programs, the Com-mon Core State Standards for Mathematics. Since its final version appeared in 2010 in the United States, the Common Core State Standards have started getting much attention from the Korean mathematics and mathematics education communities. Although attempts have been made to translate the original text of the stan-dards, the information such as the paradigm shift that led to the development of the standards, design principles and a comparison with the NCTM Standards would aid understating the standards in the intended way and avoiding unnecessary confusion.

  • 미국의 “전국 수학 교사 협의회” (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, NCTM)는 1989년부터<학교 수학의 교육과정과 평가 규준> (1989), <수학 가르침(교수)의 전문성 규준> (1991), <학교 수학의 평가(시험) 규준> (NCTM, 1995), <학교 수학의 원리와 규준> (2000)을 출판하여 미국의 수학 교육의 전망(목표, 나아갈 길)과 규준(실행 지침)을 제시하였다. 수학 교사들로 구성된 미국의 NCTM은 학생, 학부모, 학교 행정가 등 많은 사람들과 힘을 합하여 모든 학생들에게 수준 높은 수학 교육을 받을 수 있는 여건(환경, 기회)을 조성하는 데 구심점의 역할을 하였다. 한편 많은 관련 단체들은 여러 배경과 능력을 가진 학생들이 전문성을 지닌 교사(특수 교사를 일컫는 말이 아니다. 수학 교과를 이해하고 수학의 전문성과 특수성을 가르칠 수 있는 일반 교사를 일컫는 말이다.)로부터 미래를 대비해 평등하고, 진취적이며, 지원이 잘 이루어지고, 공학 도구(IT)가 잘 갖춰진 환경에서 중요한 수학적 아이디어를 이해하면서 학습할 수 있는 수학 교실(미국에서는 우리나라처럼 수학 교사가 수학 시간에 학생의 방(교실: Homeroom)에 찾아가지 않고 학생들이 선생의 방(수학 교실: Classroom)을 찾아온다. 전형적인 수학 교실의 사진은 2쪽에 나와 있다.)을 만들기 위해 함께 힘썼다. NCTM에서 출간한 여러 규준들은 우리나라의 제 6 차와 제 7 차 교육과정에도 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 이 글에서는 NCTM (2000)에서 제시한 학습 원리를 간단히 살펴본 다음 이를 중심으로 현재 미국 수학교육의 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습 이론의 동향을 살펴본다.
