We review the mathematics education in Korea just after the 1595 Liberation and the first, second curriculum announced in 1955 and 1963, respectively. The 3rd curriculum announced in 1973 is influenced by “New Mathematics” in America. There were theoretical research about “New Mathematics”, but no experimental research about it in the school. So, there was not much effect of “New Mathematics” in mathematics education. After that we have the 4th, 5th and 6th curriculum which is improved by the result of experience in teaching. The 7th curriculum announced in 1997 emphasized practical mathematics. In this paper, we review the mathematics education and consider some problems in the 7th curriculum. We also consider some problems in mathematics textbook authorization under the 7th curriculum. To solve these problems, we suggest some facts. Especially, we need the philosophy about mathematics education and the enough knowledge about “Mathematics for Mathematics Teachers”.

The article aims to present findings of a study which has examined the ability of elementary school mathematics teachers and of teacher-trainees in other disciplines to solve irregular challenging problems of sequences in general rather than numerical sequences only. The findings show that mathematics teachers succeed to cope with unusual assignments when the requirements of the problems presented to them are analogous to irregular problems. However, when the problems require a change in the thinking procedure in the direction of creative thinking, there is a considerable decrease in performance. Another finding shows that, although teacher-trainees succeed less in solving the presented problems, they give incorrect solutions which do indicate creative thinking. An inevitable conclusion based on the research findings is that teacher training institutions should enhance and reinforce multi-directional. branching out and creative thinking competences.

Open-ended problems can foster deeper understanding of mathematical ideas, generating creative thinking and communication in students. High-order thinking tasks such as open-ended problems involve more ambiguity and higher level of personal risks for students than they are normally exposed to in routine problems. To explore the classroom-based factors that could support or inhibit such higher-order processes, this paper also describes two cases of Singapore primary school teachers who have successfully or unsuccessfully implemented an open-ended problem in their mathematics lessons.

The purpose of this study is to diagnose the problems of mathematics education in Korea by conducting an in-depth analysis of international comparative studies, a Delphi method, and a survey. Further analysis of TIMSS and PISA results also reveals several negative aspects of mathematics education practice in Korea. The mathematics education experts' opinions collected by Delphi method were classified into 12 categories: private education and test-driven education, curriculum and textbooks, lessons, evaluation, teacher, learner, teaching aid and facilities. affective aspects of mathematics, discrepancy between a theory and a practice, preservice/inservice teacher education and teacher employment test, education policy, and overall. Another survey was conducted to focus more on the development of curriculum which is a pending issue. Considering the fact that mathematics education should contribute to improve practical aspect as well as elaborate theoretical aspect, this study lays a foundation of improvement of mathematics education in Korea.

This study is to identify and analyze the realities and the problems of the open education in mathematics, and suggest the directions of the open education in mathematics. I have examined 104 primary school teachers using the questionnaire, observed and analyzed two open instructions. The advocates for open education should try to establish its identities. I claim that the open education in mathematics should be opening children's thinking. And I propose some suggestions for such instruction.

이 연구의 목적은 예비교사들에게 초등학교 수준의 좋은 수학문제를 만들고 초등학교 학생들에게 적용해 보도록 하면서 예비교사들이 수학문제에 대하여 어떻게 인식하는지를 분석하는 것이다. 이 연구에서 A교육대학교 2학년과 3학년에 재학 중인 예비교사 86명은 자신들이 생각하는 좋은 수학문제를 제시하였다. 그리고 이 예비교사들은 제시한 수학문제에 대하여 초등학교 학생의 해결전략을 예상하고, 초등학교 학생들의 문제해결 과정을 관찰하면서 교사의 전문성에 대하여 기술하였다. 연구 결과, 예비교사들은 좋은 수학문제로 수학 개념이나 알고리즘의 활용, 동기유발, 개방형의 문제의 유형을 선호하였고 일부 전략에 집중하는 경향이 있었다. 이들은 학생들의 문제해결 과정에 대한 심층적인 관찰과 분석 경험이 교사의 문제해결에 대한 전문성 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있다고 생각하였다. 그리고 교사의 수학 문제해결에 대한 전문성 신장을 위해 예비교사들에게 학생들의 수학 문제해결 과정에 대한 관찰과 질 높은 수학문제의 개발 경험을 제공하고 교과서의 문제와 연계한 양질의 수학문제의 보급을 제안하였다.

Some 400 Secondary One (i.e. seventh-grade) students from 10 schools were provided with non-routine mathematical problems in their normal mathematics classes as exercises for one academic year. Their attitudes toward mathematics, their conceptions of mathematics and their problem-solving performance were measured both in the beginning and at the end of the year. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the introduction of an appropriate dose of non-routine problems would generate some effects on the students' conceptions of mathematics. A medium dose of non-routine problems (as reported by the teachers) would result in a change of the students' conception of mathematics to perceiving mathematics as less of "a subject of calculables." On the other hand, a high dose would lead students to perceive mathematics as more useful and more as a discipline involving thinking. However, with a low dose of non-routine problems, students found mathematics more "friendly" (free from fear). It is therefore proposed that the use of non-routine mathematical problems to an appropriate extent can induce changes in students' "lived space" of mathematics learning and broaden their conceptions of mathematics and mathematics learning.
